Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in The Basin VIC

We are looking for someone reliable and kind to do the school afternoon pick up 4 days per week from term 2 (mid April).

We are in Ferny Creek (near one tree hill picnic grounds) and Kids are 13M at Fairhills in Ferntree Gully and 9F at Rowville Primary.

They are both sweet and well behaved kids who love to feel connected to their carers.

Please reach out to discuss more details if this is of interest.

Hi there,

I’m a single mum of three beautiful kids, currently looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to help with my two youngest daughters (aged 2.5 and 1.5) a couple of evenings each week.

This role is really about supporting our little family so I can spend some one-on-one time with my 7-year-old son, taking him to his footy training and being present for him during this new chapter.

Hours required:

* Tuesdays: 5:30pm – 7:30pm
* Thursdays: 4:30pm – 7:30pm
* Optional: Occasional Saturday (every second weekend) while I play a footy match

What the role involves:

* Assisting with dinner for the girls
* Bath time
* Putting them to bed (they’re usually down by 6pm 😊)
* Relaxing at the house until I return

Once the girls are asleep, it’s a very cruisy role—perfect for someone who enjoys a calm evening environment.

A little about us:
We’ve recently moved to the area, and my son has just started at a new primary school. We’re really focused on building strong community connections through school and sport. He currently plays for Upper Ferntree Gully, and these evenings are important for his confidence and sense of belonging.

I’d also love to return to playing in a women’s footy team myself, but at the moment, I need the right support in place for my girls to make that possible.

Who would suit this role:

* Someone warm, patient, and genuinely enjoys young children
* Confident managing a simple bedtime routine
* Reliable and consistent
* Bonus if you have experience with toddlers

This role would suit a uni student, nanny, or someone local looking for a consistent, low-stress evening position.

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks so much,
Sam

Hello everyone! We’re looking for a warm, reliable babysitter for two children (boy 9, girl 12). The role includes after-school pickups, after-school activity transport, light meal prep, and a bit of tidying in our picturesque home in Selby.

Hours: 3:30pm to 6:30pm, three afternoons per week (usually Tues, Weds, and Thurs), plus one weekday evening every two to three weeks. This is a casual role, but we try to keep hours will be consistent during school terms. That said, days can vary sometimes depending on school holidays etc.

You: Confident driver with own vehicle, calm and patient, great with kids who can have sometimes big feelings and benefit from a steady, predictable approach. Can commit to role to at least the end of term 4.

35.00 per hour plus allowances for petrol and after school snacks etc.

If you're interested, please drop us a line - looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hi, I’m Manoj (dad). We’re a friendly family of four — mum and dad, a 12‑year‑old daughter, and an 8‑year‑old son. I travel frequently for work, and my wife works part‑time on Thursdays and Fridays, so we’re looking for a caring babysitter specifically for those two days.
The role would involve coming to our home around 6:30 am, spending about two hours with the kids, and then dropping our son off at school by 8:30 am (it’s only a 5‑minute drive).
On average, I travel for about two weeks each month, so this won’t be every week — it’s a casual but longer‑term arrangement. We’re happy to pay $35–$40 per hour.
Cheers,
Manoj

We are a family of four (from Camberwell) with two young children aged 2 and 4, plus a friendly small dog aged 10.

We’re looking for someone kind, reliable and proactive to help with the kids and general household tasks. This role would likely suit someone looking for some extra work alongside study, another job, or flexible casual hours.
