Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Waterways VIC

My husband is going away for the week and We need an after daycare baby sitter from the 25-28th may for a few hours while mumma bear is still at work :)
Our son is 2 years old and goes to daycare in aspendale gardens
It would include pick up from daycare, dinner, play, bath and then I would be home in time for bed

I’m currently looking for someone reliable and caring for school drop-offs 1–3 times a week, with the occasional weekend shift as well.

The hours would generally be around 6:15am–8:45am, although most mornings it’s mainly being at the house until just after 8 before walking my son to school depending on the weather. We’re based in Bonbeach and although I need to move within the next 5 weeks, I’ll definitely be staying locally in the area.

I’m a solo mum and work as a midwife, so reliability and consistency are really important for us. My little boy is 7 years old, and I’m hoping to find someone long term to help keep things stable and familiar for him. Our babysitter/nanny of the past 3 years has recently become a kindergarten teacher, so her availability is now very limited.

Would love to hear a bit about you and whether this kind of role might suit you.

Hi, I'm a solo mother of twin boys based in Beaumaris. I am looking for help with picking up (or taking) my children from school in Camberwell each day. This will be a couple of hours a day, at least 4 days each week during the school term, starting May 2026. However, it's important that you forge a strong relationship with my kids, so I would be interested in you starting sooner on a less frequent basis, if that's of interest.

The boys speak French and English. Ideally, if you speak French that would be a huge bonus.
Looking for someone who doesn't get overly stressed about typical kid stuff, and doesn't mind the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. You must have your own vehicle and be happy having booster seats in the car when you drive them. Most likely looking for your help in the afternoons, Monday through Thursday, potentially eventually Friday mornings, too.

Needing someone reliable - this is key. If you can't commit for the full 2026 academic year then please don't apply - my kids will become attached to you (and I will need your support).

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this far! Hope to hear from you. Rate negotiable depending upon experience.

Hello,

I am looking for a reliable and warm carer to help with my 9 year old son. He has autism but is high functioning. He is a beautiful sweet natured little boy and is in grade 3. My son is friendly and loves people and loves playing with trains, Harry Potter, titanic, boats and building lego.

My son finds attending Oosh (before and after school care at his school) overwhelming. Therefore I have received funding for someone to come Mon 730 to 9 am and 330 to 530 pm. Must drive and have own car as it would involve taking him to and from school. Given he is eligible for funding the person must have an early child care qualification eg cert 3 in early childcare or currently studying it. Competitive hourly rate

What the role involves
* School drop off and pick up (will compensate for petrol)
* My son is fairly independent with getting ready and will be ready for school by the time the person arrives at 7:30 am. I usually have lunches packed but on the odd occassion it may involve finishing lunch off.
* Playing with him in the morning
* After school helping with homework
* Reminding him to have a shower (he can shower himself)
* I do not expect any housework

Essential criteria
* Experience with children
* Refernces
* Current first Aide
* Own Car
* Studying or qualifications in early child care

Desirable criteria
* Previous experience with autistic children or a willingness to learn more about how to support autistic children

This role would suit someone local who is studying (early child care) or easing back into work.

If you have any questions please reach out

Hello 😊 We are looking for our next super helper to start at the end of April / early May.

We’re a busy family in Sandringham, Ollie (9), Harriet (6), Mum (Amy) and Dad (Andrew). We’re looking for help with drop off and pick up and some support to keep the house running smoothly! We’re walking distance from the kids school but have a car you can drive too. Mornings involve making lunchboxes, getting the kids ready and homework. Then after school it’s pick up, clubs on some days, dinner and getting ready for bed. You’d also be helping with general household jobs around the kids activities (vacuum, help with washing, dishwasher, post office etc).

4 or 5 days a week, 7:30-10am and 3-6pm

$32 / hour

We’ve had Nannys and au pairs for 10 years and they would all be happy to share a reference - most have stayed at least a year and some more than 3!

If this is something you’d be interested we'd love to hear from you

I am looking for someone to babysit on the 23, 29th and 30th April (please only apply if you can do all of these dates).
8am-4pm (approx).
You would need to drive my daughter to and from school in Parkdale, and hang out with my son all day (he is 9 but not in school at the moment).
Someone that enjoys drawing, games, kicking the soccer ball would be ideal.

Then there would likely be ad hoc baby sitting required on an ongoing basis.

Thanks,
Jodi
