THANKS EVERYONE! I’ve had so many responses I will close the ad now and go through the messages and be in touch with everyone soon 😊
We are preparing for a move internationally and I need some help during the day with my 3.5yo so I can get some jobs done. I am flexible with the days but it would be 3 days a week. He no longer day naps so I really just need someone to play with him and help with his meals etc. We have two other children, Sienna 8 and Beatrice 5, both at school. It would sometimes need some help after school for an hour or so as well but not every day.
We have a beautiful 8 month old baby boy who we will need some help with as we run our family business. We currently have two beautiful Nanny’s that have been with us since Noah was 10 weeks old. However, unfortunately they have placements which means that we will need someone to come in and help out during these times.
We would also love to have someone that could help us out on Mondays and the weekends.
Noah is full of energy and loves to play outside. He will keep you on your toes as he is crawling and wanting to move very quickly. He loves music and our golden retriever Rosie. He is a very happy little man and is generally pretty easy to please.
As I work full time we will also need some help around the house while he naps/ plays independently with some light house chores such as laundry and dishes. We love our current nanny’s and the initiative they take to keep our house in order so that when we come home there isn’t too much for us to do at night.
Hi, I'm looking for a casual babysitter on Friday afternoons from 2-5pm. My son is an energetic 3 year old toddler. I have a younger baby and will be home during the babysitting time. I intend to use this time to work or catch up on other tasks. Looking forward to hearing from you :)
Hi, we are looking for a babysitter who can help Monday afternoon from 4-6pm every week for term 4 & term 1 next year. We also like to do a monthly date night on a friday and or saturday once a month. There will be some upcoming events leading into Christmas that babysitting hours would be available as well. This Monday afternoon shift from 4-6pm I am looking for someone who can be flexible and be available to do either a pick up or drop off for sport.
Must be a confident driver. We have 3 children 2 in year 7 and one in grade 5.
There would be some light duties at home to do for the hour you are at the house.
We are looking for someone with experience, who enjoys kids, doesn’t mind pets as we have two very friendly dogs and is reliable as we need the commitment for the Monday.
We are looking for a nanny for our gorgeous 2 year old and almost 6 year old girls every Tuesday from 8:00am until 6:00pm.
Our eldest will be at school from 8:45am until 3:25pm during school terms (you will need to do school drop off and pick up), so the majority of the day will be spent with just our youngest. During school holidays both girls will be home with you.
Both our girls are lots of fun and enjoy playing, reading books and spending time outdoors and they thrive on routine. We are looking for someone reliable, easygoing and who can be a fun alternative to us while we are at work.
I am looking for a helper to take care of my 5-year-old son. The main tasks include accompanying him in outdoor activities such as playing basketball, running, cycling, and tennis. The helper will engage in activities with him like drawing, learning English words, and basic maths to help him prepare for entering prep next year. The working hours are from around 8:30 AM to around 1:00 PM. It would be great if the tutor could also prepare a simple lunch for my son.

Hello!! We are a busy working family with awesome two boys aged 11 & 9 who need help with after school pick ups. The boys are (mostly) well behaved and lots of fun.
One child is at a school in Kew (grade 5), and the other at a school in Surrey Hills (grade 4). The school in Kew finishes at 3:15pm, and the Surrey Hills school at 3:30pm, which makes it realitively easy to pick one up then the other, and bring them home to our house in Surrey Hills.
Afternoons are pretty relaxed in our house. You can help with after school snacks and getting the kids involved in some activities like catching up on homework, shooting hoops, trampoline, drawing or lego. The boys are great friends and play well together and with others.
I'm a shift worker and my work roster changes from month to month. I work a 24/7 rotating roster that includes overnights and weekends. I need someone reliable and flexible that is available for a variety of times fortnightly, drop off at daycare and overnights. I work the occasional overnight Friday and/or Saturday nights from 8pm till 5pm Friday and 10pm till 7am so the kids will need someone at the house overnight these nights and preferably someone that doesn't mind doing light duties around the house and with the kids.
The hours I require vary on a fortnightly arrangement. Open to au pair.
Happy to discuss hourly rates or arrangements for overnight stays over time.

Hi we are looking for someone to cover school pick up, after school care, dinner and homework on Tuesdays while our regular nanny is away. Start date Tuesday 12th November.
Hours will be 3.15-6.30pm approx, flexibility needed with finish time if we are late home from work. Parent references and experience needed. Two girls aged 6 and 9. Preferable if you have experience helping with readers and homework plus can bring activities like crafts or board games. Need to be able to cook for kids and tidy up.
Hello potential babysitter!
We are looking for some after school assistance with our 3 children. They are all at school which is walking distance from our house (~7 minutes). Heidi and Abbie are 9yo ID twins in grade 3 (one is growing out a Taylor Swift inspired fringe so you will be able to tell who is who!) and Declan is 6yo (but with the confidence of a rock star) and started prep this year (he tells people there is just one of him...!).
We would ideally love someone to assist us x2 nights per week after school from 3 - 6/6:30pm plus casual babysitting if available. We can be flexible with which 2 days after school, we just need to be able to plan going into the office around the days we have babysitter assistance.
The role would require collecting the kiddos from school, overseeing them unpack bag / lunch box, organising afternoon tea (and cleaning up after feeding time at the zoo?!), helping with getting kids to activities (will depend on day), minor dinner prep if time permits, helping with homework, helping get organised for the following day (packing lunches, uniforms out etc.) and just general regular reminding / guiding the children for what they need to be doing / planning for next.
About you: we need someone reliable who is firm but fun and who isn't phased with the hustle and bustle of after school snacking / organising / getting to activities on time. You will need a drivers licence to be able to take kiddos to after school activities (Monday = Swimming, Tuesday = Kumon then gymnastics (in the evening), Wednesday = tutoring for girls / basketball for Declan, Thursday = Basketball) and be able to multi-task (e.g. ability to explain why dinosaurs went extinct whilst making peanut butter toast and making sure swimming caps are on!!)
We hosted au pairs when our children were younger so our kids are accustomed to welcoming carers and they really enjoy meeting new people (they LOVE a good chat!). We have had a nanny for most of the year but unfortunately one is recovering from a health condition and the other no longer has after school availability so we are now looking for a new nanny to join our family.
The kids are very loving / affectionate (although on occasion can also be moody?!) but do need assistance with reminding to help them stay on track with tasks / getting ready for activities / cross checking they have packed what they need.
If you are available x2 days after school for 3 - 3.5 hours each day (so 6 - 7 hours per week) and have experience with looking after school aged children we would love to chat to you further to find out if we are a good fit. Please get in touch! We'd love someone to start ASAP when school goes back next week.
In terms of pay, we were anticipating $30 per hour.
A bit about us...we are a blended family of 8. The older 3 children do not require care. We have recently moved from Essendon to kew. The children will spend the last term at their primary school (Pascoe Vale South and daycare in Essendon) before moving to Deepdene Primary (around the corner) next year. For the last term of school I require help with drop-off and pick up a few times each week. Preparing simple meals in the evening and playing with the kids. The kids ages are 8 (grade 2) 6 (grade 6) and 3 (daycare)
If the candidate is the right fit for our family we would intermittently require overnight stays whilst we travel for work.
Happy to provide more information.
