Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Melbourne VIC

We are a kind and respectful family of four living in the Melbourne CBD looking for some help from April (Term 2) this year:
- kinder and school drop offs and pick-ups for our two children aged 3 and 10;
- supervising 10 year old to do reading, homework and musical instrument practice Mon-Thurs
- ad hoc evening babysitting on a week night or weekend if you are available

Hours would be around 6:45am to 9.15am and 3pm to 6.30pm Monday to Friday during school term. School holidays off. Open to a part-time, casual or contractor arrangement. The role involves commuting between the city, St Kilda and Essendon to drop off and collect the kids at different schools. We are open to someone using public transport (we live near Southern Cross station) or their own vehicle.

We are open to a live-in arrangement and on offer we have a bedroom available with a queen bed, TV, unlimited wifi and lots of streaming subscriptions, direct access to a bathroom shared with the kids and food provided (including evening meals with the family). A live in arrangement might suit an au pair from overseas or a local university student who might be looking for CBD accommodation. For a live out arrangement we are also open to splitting the role casually or part-time between two people. We currently have an au pair living with us who is great, and is finishing up at the start of April.

I'm looking for a part-time, casual or contractor babysitter for my active 7 year old. We're open to a couple of babysitters sharing the role

On my nightshift, pickup from after school care at 5pm and night routine until 7pm but can go to 10pm some days. Most weeks take to sporting activity and some Saturdays for extracurricular activities/ parties/playdates

If my shift falls on a Sunday daytime, then I would need 10am-7pm minding my 7-year-old at home and maybe playground trip. The hours below are the minimum hours required and more than likely extend to more hours if you are available

We are a family of 5, with 3 children ages 6, 11 and 15, looking for someone to replace our current after school nanny, whose new Uni schedule unfortunately now clashes with when we require help.
Parents both work full time (with some flexibility), so we are looking for some extra help in the after school hours until dinner time. Duties include: school pickup (South Melbourne) assistance with homework, transport of the 6 and 11 year old to after school activities (it is preferable that you have your own car) and very occasionally dropping or picking up the 15 year from after school activities or her own baby-sitting jobs.
Candidate must also be comfortable with a small (very friendly) 4 year old cavoodle.
Also, some very light housework and food/dinner prep may be required at times. Please reach out if you think you could be the right fit for this role :)

We have a cooperative and empathic 9yo who loves reading, drawing, origami and ice skating. We are looking for someone interested in casual babysitting - filling occasional gaps in our school drop-off and pick-off schedules +/- the an occasional evening, by mutual convenience.

We are two medical professionals who are looking for someone who is punctual, diligent, honest and vaccinated. Our LO would prefer someone who draws and likes arts/crafts. We value someone who prioritises safety while modelling respect and kindness. We'd also prefer someone local and who isn't allergic to cats.
No cooking or cleaning required. No driving required.

If you don't already have a First Aid certificate, we'll be happy to cover the cost of obtaining one if you're successful applicant.

Genuine interest/inquiries only please.

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 Fridays, also to collect them from childcare in the evening for 2 hours (6-8pm), and wash/change/feed them before bedtime.

We’re a young family based in South Yarra with our sweet two and a half -year-old son. I work from home and am looking for someone to spend quality, engaged time with him while I work in another room. He is a very happy little boy with a beautiful nature who loves playing, music, story time, being outdoors, staying active, and heading out for adventures like trips to the park or library.

We would ideally love someone who speaks fluent Italian so he can be exposed to and grow up around another language (my heritage is Italian). We would also appreciate help with light household tidying as needed — things like dishwasher loading/unloading, hanging washing, and small daily resets.

We are really hoping to find someone looking for a longer-term role, as building consistency and trust is very important to us. Our little one forms lovely bonds with the people around him, so we are hoping to find someone who is planning to be in Australia long-term to help avoid difficult goodbyes and provide him with stability and continuity.

We are a warm, relaxed and loving household and would love to welcome someone who is genuine, present and kind.

Please reach out if this sounds like you — we’d love to organise a proper chat!

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8 year old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in early 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

I am currently a single mum while living in Melbourne, and my daughter and I have recently relocated from New York. I grew up here, and am currently enrolled in university in the city. I am hoping to find someone kind, dependable, and consistent who can become an important part of our support system.

The position will begin on Thursday, February 19. It will involve getting my daughter ready for school, dropping her off at Fitzroy North Primary in the morning, and picking her up after school. This schedule must remain consistent for 12 weeks, finishing on Thursday, May 7. These days and times are essential, due to my classes, and that I anm unable to do school drop off or pickup myself on Thursdays. I would like to arrange a paid trial first to make sure it is a good fit for everyone.

Beyond this, I am also looking for someone who may be available at other times on various days during the week. This part of the role would be more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule. We can work out what suits both of us if it feels like the right fit.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there!
We live in Richmond, though it's more like Cremorne, and we have a baby who is 7 weeks old (as at December 21) and a son who is 3.5. I'm looking for someone to arrive early - 6am - on his daycare days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and help me get him ready for daycare and then walk him up to daycare. Depending on experience with babies, I'd also like it if you can hold the baby for me while I do jobs in the house or I could take my son to daycare instead some days while you hold the baby at home. Once my son is dropped at daycare, I'm hoping you can come back to our house and do an hour or two of housework including clothes washing or dish washing. The morning job would be about 6am - 10am.
In the evening, we're hoping someone can pick my son up from daycare, walk back to our house, and help me get dinner organised before bathing my son and prepping him for bed. The evening would be about 5pm - 7:30pm.
If interested, we could meet at our house and have a chat. Police check, working with children's check and first aid essential. Thank you! Alexis

We are looking for before and after school care for our three children (9, 7 and 2) - we are flexible on days but would like Tuesday and Wednesday at a minimum if possible. The older two are at primary school and only one requires pickup and the school is walking distance from our house. Our youngest is at childcare all day but would be looking for someone to pick her up so a drivers licence is helpful although not essential as daycare is 20mins walk away.
We are an easy going, friendly and busy household and hope to find someone to start quickly. We are looking for someone who can help with kids meals and afterschool activities. Hours are flexible and so can be discussed - preferably 3 hours in the afternoon and 2-3 hours in the morning.
We have a dog who is very friendly but being ok with pets is a must.
Look forward to hearing from you.
