Hi
I live in Brighton with my husband and 3 little kids. I have a 5yo girl, 3yo boy and 1.5 yo girl. Our last nanny/babysitter (who has been with us since our eldest was 1) has just moved home so we are currently looking for someone to help out with our family!
My husband works quite long hours and I am home full time the kids. I often need a bit of help throughout the week as he travels a lot!
So mostly looking for someone to come and play with them and keep them entertained - Eg going to the park, going for walks, playing at home, occasional cooking (kids meals), art and craft etc! The eldest two go to kindy on Tuesday Thursdays and Fridays so if available on either of those days it would just be looking after the youngest so I can duck out do some food shopping / errands etc.
We are also definitely looking for night time weekend work too
I’m very flexible as I’m not working at the moment so can do just a few hours, half days / longer days etc
Our nanny would also travel a lot with us to help out on holidays and or house sit while we go away if that is something you're interested in
Happy to answer any further questions!
I am looking for a nanny to help and pick up 2-3x a week (3-6pm). There would be some light household tasks as well eg. preparing dinner for the children, unpacking the dishwasher, folding washing. We have 2 children (girl who is 10.5 son who is 6 ). We are after someone who can keep to our routine, is very tidy and calm. We would like someone who is local (ie. within 5km of Hawthorn East). Having a licence and confidence driving is critical. Ability to help with homework and experience with neurodivergent children looked upon favourably.
We’re looking for a kind, reliable, and engaging nanny to support our family in Caulfield with aftercare for our two young daughters—Lara (5) who is in upper kindergarten and Mia (2 years, 10 months) who is in pre-kindergarten.
Days: Tuesdays & Thursdays
Hours: 4:30pm – 7:30pm (with potential to increase to 3 days/week)
Start Date: From 28th April onwards
About Us:
We’re a warm, easygoing family who value connection, calm, and consistency. Lara is bright, creative, and loves being involved in activities—she thrives on attention and enjoys being a little helper. Mia is sweet, affectionate, and a little more reserved; she’s happiest with a gentle presence nearby and a predictable routine. Please note Mia is still in nappies whilst Lara is fully toilet trained and goes independently.
Key Responsibilities:
• Possible pickup of Mia from childcare in Elsternwick
• Preparing simple, nutritious dinners for the girls
• Bath and bedtime routines (eg. Reading books)
• Engaging with the girls through play, reading, or quiet downtime activities
• Keeping the evening relaxed, positive, and structured
We’re looking for someone with a nurturing approach, who understands the needs of little ones, and can create a calm and enjoyable end to their day. Prior experience with young children and a driver’s license (if pick-up is needed) would be ideal.
We’d love to hear from you if this sounds like a fit!
We’re looking for a special person to care for our wonderful 4-year-old daughter, who has a physical disability and epilepsy. She is full of life, loves to play, chat, and engage with everyone.
Our amazing nanny is off to pursue a career in nursing, so we’re searching for someone equally great to take over. Ideally, we’d love a nursing or medical student who is confident, calm, and responsible—someone who can follow an emergency plan if a seizure occurs (though these are infrequent and mostly happen at night). She also requires physical assistance throughout the day.
We’re looking for care on Mondays (during the day) with potential for occasional extra hours on other days/evenings. We are based in Hawthorn East.
If this sounds like you (or someone you know), please reach out—I’d be happy to share more details.

How are you ?!
I am looking for a babysitter who can really engage with my kids who are 5 and 8.
They have vastly different personalities so you need to be able to speak with them and engage with them differently , creatively and compassionately and sometimes be a mediator ! It will really come down to how well you can interact with them and really how much they gravitate towards you.
Everything else that I would require is the standard police check , wwc , driving , responsibility and safety etc etc !
At the moment it is casual work moving into the holidays and then it’ll be regular !
Look forward to chatting if you’re free, available and willing to!
