Nanny / Mother’s Helper Wanted – Albert Park 2027
We are a warm and busy family in Albert Park looking for an experienced nanny/mother’s helper to join us from late January/ February 2027.
This role would suit someone who is finishing with their current family at the end of the year and is looking for a long-term position with a caring household.
We’re starting our hunt early knowing we want to take our time in finding the right fit for our family, so seeking some expressions of interest.
We will have 3 children, who at the time will be:
• Boy, 3 years (attending a mix of daycare and kindergarten)
• Girl, 18 months (attending daycare 2 days per week)
• Baby girl, 3 months
We are looking for someone caring, proactive, calm, and confident with newborns and young children. Mum works from home part-time, attends appointments, and runs errands, so the role will be a mix of hands-on childcare and helping keep the household running smoothly.
Role Includes:
• Caring for 1–2 children at a time for most shifts
• Minimal times when caring for all 3 children together
• Newborn feeding, settling, and nap routines
• Engaging play and age-appropriate activities
• Light household duties including:
◦ Folding washing

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you. Please send through a little about yourself, your experience, availability, and references.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.

Hello!

We are looking for an experienced babysitter/nanny to spend each Wednesday with our two children - Alfie (5yrs old) and Hazel (2yrs old) from approx 8am - 6pm. We are after someone that genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and is also comfortable preparing food for them etc.
