We are a warm, respectful family seeking experienced, professional nannies for our two boys (1 and 5), with three roles available (hours negotiable). A before and after school nanny (Mon–Fri) will assist with morning routines, school readiness, and after-school care including engaging activities, light meal prep, and a calm, structured environment; a driver is provided. A weekend nanny will support play, outings, and routines on Saturdays. A full-time nanny will provide comprehensive care and organisation. Our 5-year-old loves arts, baking, and outdoor play. We value someone nurturing, organised, proactive, polished, and reliable. Long-term roles.

We are a busy professional family based in Kooyong looking for a caring, reliable and energetic nanny to help with our three lovely children — 9-year-old twin boys and a 3-year-old girl.

Our much-loved long-term nanny is sadly moving on after finishing university and starting her career in her chosen field, so we are looking for someone new to become part of our family.

The role will primarily involve:

* School and kinder drop-offs and pick-ups
* Caring for our 3-year-old on Wednesdays
* Taking children to after-school activities
* Helping keep the day running smoothly

Regular hours required:

* Tuesdays & Thursdays: school/kinder drop-offs and pick-ups
* Wednesdays: full day

We live in Kooyong, with school in Hawthorn and kinder in Armadale — all within a small radius (under 3km). While driving distances are minimal, a driver’s licence is essential.

We would highly value someone with flexibility for:

* Longer hours during school holidays
* The occasional Monday

We are open-minded about how the role could work and would happily consider:

* Splitting the role across multiple people
* Different employment arrangements
* Expanding the position into a broader home manager role for the right person

Pay is $35–40 per hour, negotiable depending on experience and responsibilities.

I am currently on leave, so the role is not urgently needing to be filled, and we can be flexible with a start date from July onwards for the right person.

We are looking for someone warm, organised and dependable who enjoys being around children and becoming part of family life. If this sounds like a good fit, we would love to hear from you!

Hi everyone, we’re a friendly and easy going family looking for an experienced, friendly and reliable nanny to help us care for our 18 month old son while our regular nanny is away from late June to early August. The dates are 29 June-7 August and hours are 10am-6:00pm Tuesdays, and 7:30-5:30pm Wednesdays and Fridays. We’re based in Armadale and have one 18 month old son and a very friendly golden retriever, so would love to find someone who has experience with toddlers and is comfortable with dogs.

On Tuesdays, our son is as daycare so the role is helping with some light household stuff (laundry, grocery shopping etc) before picking him up around 3:00 pm. On Wednesdays and Fridays he’ll be with you all day, and I mostly work from home on those days so am also around.

If you’re interested, able to commit to the full period and can provide references I’d love to hear from you.

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys and walking our dog Frankie.

Hello Nannies,

I’m looking for someone to help with afternoons/evenings for my two kids (9YO girl and 14YO boy) on mon and tues.
Includes school pick up (mostly for the 9YO as the 14YO can often walk home), taking them to activities, organise dinner, put away kids washing, tidy toy room, make lunches for the kids the next day. At this stage, monday is swimming lessons and Tuesday is tennis lesson and footy training.
If you can walk the dog before school pick up that’s also welcomed but would mean a start time of 230 instead of 330. Finish time will usually be around 7. Pay is 30 dollars per hour plus 20 dollars for petrol per week (2 days working)

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Thankyou,
Emma

Hello I have a very sweet young daughter. I require assistance so I can go to work.
The position requires consistency of care so I would require you to be available to assist at least 3-5 times per week. You must live in South Yarra.
I often start work at 7am M-F & require someone to come to our home at 5.45am & walk to kinder with my daughter by 8.45am 3 hours each morning.
The afternoon /evening shift is usually picking her up from kinder at 5.30pm Mon & Tuesday & at 3pm Wednesday & 4pm Thursday & Friday. My work is casual so a little flexibility is also required with the job.
Thank you I look forward to hearing from you.

We’re a warm family looking for an experienced, caring nanny to help care for our 6-month-old son, Harry, as I return to full-time work in August.

The role will likely be 3 weekdays per week (flexible days) and includes infant care plus light household help during naps (meal prep, folding washing, tidying).

We also have a friendly dog, so comfort around pets is important.

Requirements: WWCC, first aid/CPR, strong references and infant experience.

Please reach out with a brief intro, experience and availability.

Hi, babysitters! I am looking for someone to work with our family on a weekly, part-time basis from Monday through Thursday afternoons/evenings at our home in South Yarra, near Hawksburn village. One-off babysitting help on the weekend would also be great as well, if you're open to it, if we have something on occasionally in the evenings.

My husband and I both work during the week, usually with at least one of us working from home, and we're seeking some assistance with entertaining the kids when they get home from school with activities like drawing, reading, doing puzzles, cooking/preparing dinner, kicking a ball in the backyard, playing at one of the nearby playgrounds... really anything except sitting them in front of the TV!

The kids usually eat dinner around 6pm, so when they sit down to eat we'd appreciate your help getting their bath ready and then cleaning up dinner once they're done (we will give them their bath and put them to bed). Very rarely would you be alone with the children, so we're happy to help as needed while we finish up work.

We have three children: a 6 year old boy, 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy. All three are at school/kinder during the day and finish up at different times in the afternoon, so during the afternoons you'd spend with us it would range from looking after 0 kids (when we're picking them up, and would appreciate your help with housework like tidying their bedrooms, folding laundry, preparing dinner, etc), to 1 kid, 2 kids or 3 kids max (for about an hour or so when they're all back from school).

The total weekly hours that we need are around 13, across the following schedule:

Monday: 4pm-7pm
Tuesday: 4pm-7pm
Wednesday: 3pm-7pm
Thursday: 4pm-7pm

It would be great if this could be completed by one babysitter, but we are also open to splitting it across two people on different days if that aligns better with the schedules for the right person.

Ideally, the right person for our family will be someone who is kind, warm and caring. Our kids are pretty easy going but of course, try to push the limits! We'd appreciate someone who is creative and can engage them in creative pursuits - they love everything with paint, play-doh, and anything tactile!

Any other questions - don't hesitate to reach out! Excited to welcome you to our family :)

Hello we have three boys age 1,3 and 5 and are looking for a babysitter. The boys are fairly outgoing and active. The role may involve looking after one or two of the children during the day or after school to accomodate appointments and activities for siblings. For example, we need someone to look after the one year old while i attend an event at kinder or school. It will also involve night time baby sitting on weekend (occasional weeknights for some events). We would provide as much notice and flexibility as possible . We have a dog as well (Labrador cavalier cross) so someone who likes dogs would be ideal.

I'm looking for a nanny in or around SOUTH YARRA to take twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday): You will need to change, feed, and take them to childcare 5 minutes away, which takes less than 1 hour, between 7-9am in the morning, and on also to collect them from childcare in the evening for 2 hours (6-8pm), and wash/change/feed them before bedtime. In addition, 6 hours during the day on Saturday or Sunday (e.g., 12-6pm).
You should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light house duties and cooking basic food for the kids.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan
