Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Bentleigh East VIC

Hi!

We are a family of 4, with two boys aged 12 and 7.5.

We need after school care on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3 to 6:30 pm.

Duties include:
- school pickups (from 1 school 600m away, the other is 3.5 km away)
- snacks
- drop off and pick up from tennis (3 km away)
- tidying up
- dinner/meal prep
- helping kids to pack up clothes, shoes, unpack school bags will be appreciated.

Both kids are high energy and love tennis, enjoy 0.5 hour of video games (except no technology-day is Wednesdays), are diligent but need gentle reminder on school homework etc. one boy does swimming lessons on Fridays. Time management is a great skill to have, as the boys are almost always 'on the go' but need to be organised in terms of packing tennis bags, water bottles, solid/healthy snacks etc.

Those with ongoing careers in childcare (E.g., either diploma courses, or experience in childcare centres) will be preferred. We have strong preference for those who are reliable and professional and will arrive on time and not skip days once they commit to this role.

Many thanks and look forward to a chat!

We’re looking for a caring, reliable babysitter for our 8-month-old daughter on a casual basis. Duties include playtime, feeding, nappy changes, and settling for naps. Ideal candidate has experience with infants, is calm and confident, and holds a Working with Children Check. First aid preferred. Mainly weekdays; flexible timing.

If you’re warm, responsible, and love working with babies, we’d love to hear from you!

We're looking for a fun and energetic babysitter for our 3-year-old boy, who loves to stay active and explore. He’s full of curiosity and enjoys playing with cars, blocks and outdoor activities.

The ideal sitter will be someone that lives in the south-eastern suburbs, patient, playful, and experienced with toddlers, ready to keep up with his high energy and engage in creative play.

He is currently in childcare full time, but he used to go 3 days a week. So he misses a little that one on one time.

We are looking for someone that can help out after 5pm, the weekends/public holidays, in case he is sick and we cannot take time off work, or we go out at night. Also pick him up from childcare around 3pm once a week and do something fun, like going to the beach, park, library.

Tell me if that suits you, so we can arrange a meet & greet.
FYI we have a cat.

Cheers,

Connie

Hello!

Posting here in case there’s someone local who might be a great fit 💫

🧼 2 hours of light tidying/cleaning in the main living areas

Let’s just say… with three little ones, the house can turn into a tornado zone real fast 🤪

Hi there, my name is Pip and I am located in Sandringham. Our current au pair is leaving and we are looking for some additional help with our 2 girls ages - 2 and 4. We require someone to help care for our girls, drop them at kinder - which is walking distance and help with housework.

Looking for a reliable and trustworthy nanny to look after our 2 year old twin girls as our current nanny will be having a child of her own soon. We need someone who is available 4 days a week Tuesday to Friday as I'm back at work. Must have Working with Children's Check and First Aid. Preferably qualified in Certificate III Early Childhood Education & Care. Hourly rate from $35 depending on experience. If this interests you, send me a message and we can have a chat.

Babysitter needed on Thursdays Midday until 7pm.

We are a busy family with four young boys who need help on an Thursday. Our amazing Nanny of 2 years has had a change to her university hours and we are now looking for someone to take over her Thursday work. Currently she arrive at our house at midday, folds and puts away laundry, cooks dinner and does some general tidying or household errands. She then either picks the kids up from school if they are to be taken to sports or waits for them to get home on the bus and looks after them until I get home (between 5.30 and 7pm). If she is there later she will give the kids dinner. There is some variable driving depending on afterschool activities as well as helping with readers and homework. We are looking for someone who is happy to do this as an ongoing part time job. We are away at times during school holidays but often there is even more work available on the holidays as the kids are off school. We would like someone who is reliable and trustworthy and we would like references and to meet for interview prior to offering the position. We would like someone who is firm with the kids but also knows how to engage and have fun with them. Our youngest is 6 and our oldest 12yo.

Our vibrant family of five in Ashburton is on the lookout for a truly wonderful nanny to join our happy household! Meet our delightful trio: a charming 9-year-old girl, an energetic 8-year-old boy, and a playful 6-year-old boy.

We're seeking a special someone to provide before and after school care on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're really hoping to find a nanny who isn't just great with kids, but also a fantastic organiser who can help ensure our home and all the children's activities are seamlessly managed. This means a few flexible hours during school time dedicated to kid-related household tasks, like preparing healthy meals, keeping on top of laundry, and baking those all-important school snacks.

Let's break down the days:

Mornings (7:15 am - 9:15 am): Your role would be instrumental in getting our children ready for school and assisting with their drop-off. The best part? The school is a short, less than 5-minute walk away, so no driving is necessary! There may also be an opportunity to get ahead on some meal or after-school snack preparation.

Afternoons (3:00 pm - 6:30 pm): This segment involves gathering after-school snacks, picking up the children from school (at 3:30 pm), and safely transporting them to their activities in a car we provide (most activities are approximately a 10-minute drive from our home). Upon returning home, your assistance with showering the children and some dinner preparation would be incredibly valuable.

If you're an organised, proactive, and warm individual ready to become an integral part of our family's routine, we would absolutely love to hear from you.

We have an energetic, happy 3 year old girl and a smiley and curious 1 year old boy requiring care after daycare/kindergarten hours. My husband and I are healthcare workers and need someone reliable, nurturing and enthusiastic to help with after school hours care.
Duties will require picking our 3 year old daughter up from school and our son from daycare. Taking them to the park or engaging in play at home, preparing and serving dinner, general tidying up and commencing the bedtime routine each evening (if we aren't home in time from work to commence the bed time routine).
We also would be hoping to have occasional weekend cover too if possible
