Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in St Kilda VIC

Are you looking for your own self-contained apartment that you can stay live in with a friend / partner? Our prior nanny has gone back to the UK and lived there with her boyfriend. So it was similar to an au pair role but she was experienced and independent. This job could be with or without the apartment.

We are looking for a long term nanny (at least a year, although would consider 6 months if you had a lot of flexibility) for a 3 and 5 year old. They will both attend kinder next year 8:40-3:15 so the job involves before and after school care on different days. This could be two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, or some weeks just three three hour shifts in the afternoons. Date nights and weekend shifts always available although we wouldn’t expect it.

Looking for someone who is kind and energetic, and who has initiative. Experience with, and a genuine love of, children is essential. We’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable, and who will engage with our children. We approach this like a team and have had excellent relationships with our last two Nannies.

Both children are active and happy little people who love socialising. It's important that you're comfortable driving (you'll drive our car) as there are a few activities (eg gymnastics, Prahran market, mini maestros, etc). Some are within walking distance but otherwise you'll likely use the car at least once a day (to do kinder pick up).

The role involves some house keeping before or after dropping the kidlets off (clothes washing and folding, unloading groceries) and food preparation.
We have a cleaner so the role doesn't require any deep cleaning - just keeping the house tidy and cleaning up as you go.

If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!

Pay is $35-40 p/hr negotiable depending on experience. Apartment deducted from salary. We pay on an hourly rate.

Babysitting for a one year old

Hello,

My name is Nancy and I live in Caulfield South with my husband and 2 year old son.

Our son is a super sweet boy, a little shy at first but loves cuddles once he warms up.

I’m looking for a babysitter for the occasional weekend evening from around 7pm (he will be sleeping and sleeps really well through the night and we will be on call if needed).

I’m also expecting baby number 2 and looking to find someone between 30th Dec - 2nd Jan who could come for a few hours in the evening while my son is sleeping so my husband can visit me in hospital with the baby. I'll also need some help after the baby arrives while on maternity leave so there will be opportunity to continue working with us.

If you are available for either or both and would love to hear from you.

All my best,

Nancy

Looking for a wonderful nanny in Hawthorn 3122
Start date: February 2026
Pay: $35–$40/hr (depending on experience)

We are looking for a confident, caring, creative and reliable nanny to look after our two boys aged 3 and 4 on Tuesdays (8:30 am to 5:00 pm) and Fridays (8:30 am to 4:00 pm).

This is a part-time nanny role caring for two young children during the business day. It would ideally suit an experienced nanny whose current family’s circumstances are changing next year and who is looking for their next ongoing position.

We have had a wonderful experience with our current nanny over the past year, and as she begins a placement for her Early Childhood Education studies next year, she will only be available one day a week. We are looking for someone to join our family and care for the boys across both days on an ongoing basis. We would love to find someone who is looking for a long-term role throughout 2026.

The boys attend kindergarten on the other days, so these two days are focused on park adventures, exploring, kicking the football and having fun. They love playgrounds, the library, picnics and little outings, and we are hoping to find someone who enjoys planning engaging days with them.

Both parents work from home. We also have a Groodle, so being comfortable around dogs is important.

Ideally, you will:
• Have experience caring for preschool-aged children
• Enjoy play-based learning and creative, hands-on activities
• Be kind, patient and confident managing two young children
• Hold a Working With Children Check and police check
• Have a driver’s licence, own car ideal
• Be comfortable with light household tidying related to the boys such as meals, toys and laundry

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please send a short note about your experience, availability, and why you think this role would be a good fit for you.
