Hello,
I am a mum of 2 boys aged 6 and 8. I am looking for casual babysitting on the odd occasion that I need my kids to be looked after in the evenings during the week. This is my first time searching for someone to mind my children outside of family, so it is really important for me to find the perfect babysitter to understand my children's needs.
Just a little about my boys...
My 6 year old boy is very kind and affectionate and is usually very easy to get along and communicate with.
My 8 year old boy has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. There are moments where he may get worked up with minor things and we are all learning how to manage our new lifestyle with this, but deep down he is a caring and aware boy :)
The role for this job will include dinner time and bedtime routine mainly and you are welcome to entertain the boys with things they enjoy which is reading, lego and colouring in and whatever else they might feel like doing on the night.
Bedtime routine is usually easy. Once they brush their teeth and wear their pyjamas they will be in bed around 8.30-9.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
We are looking for a vibrant, switched-on nanny to look after our two delightful children (aged 4 years and 2 years) in our home, two days per week. We need someone who can be on deck from 7.30am-6.30pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when we work in town. The kids nap for 1-2hours every day. You would be responsible for giving them breakfast, lunch and dinner on these days, playing with them at our house and taking them to do activities such as the pool, park, library and museum. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
I am looking for someone to help with the care of my 9 month old son, Harry. I am a solo mother and have recently returned to work 3 days per week. Harry is in childcare 4 days a week and I need someone to help with daycare pickups and afternoon/evening routine on the days I am working. The daycare is walking distance from my house. My hours can be quite variable and some days I may not be home until the evening. I also will need occasional help during the day (days may vary week to week), particularly if Harry is unwell and can't attend daycare. Harry does not attend daycare on Mondays so I am also looking for someone who can care for him for 3-4 hours on a Monday.
It would be great if I can find someone who can help with some general jobs in the house too etc. washing, cleaning, cooking for Harry.
I have 2 greyhounds at home too. They are very calm, quiet and friendly dogs. I live in a 2 storey house in Strathmore which is walking distance from the local shops and cafes on Napier St.

I am looking for a carer for my 11 year old son on Wednesdays and Thursdays for the whole of the second semester. He is recovering from chronic fatigue and is only physically attending school for a couple of hours on Thursday morning. He is enrolled in Virtual School Victoria and only requires minimal supervision as he follows his online school schedule with regular rest breaks. His sister will need to be taken to school both mornings, but their school is only a block away so it is a very brief walk. The day would start at 8am and finish around 4pm most days.

I am seeking a part time nanny to primarily care for my 7 month old daughter as I return to work. The position will also include occasionally caring for my 3 year old son on days he is home from kinder (school holidays, if he is sick, etc.).
On a typical week, I am seeking 3-4 hours on Tuesday morning and 3-4 hours on Wednesday morning (approx. 9 am - 1 pm). There is opportunity for hours to increase on weeks when my partner is away on work trips.
Must have parent reference, please.
Seeking a charismatic adult to be in the house at times when we are both at work to supervise our 2 boys, age 6 and 9. They are independent and fun and we are easygoing. Work is sporadic and will involve several hours at a time, usually afternoons but sometimes early mornings and occasionally an overnight stay or weekend days. We both know our rosters 12 months in advance so can book in advance, average at least 4 bookings per month. Role may include driving them to club sport sometimes after school.
My husband and I are looking for some help with our daughter in the ‘after school’ time period.
We live in Alphington. Our daughter is 1, and has a full time daycare spot, however I prefer her to be picked up from daycare by 5pm at the latest— which isn’t something my husband and I can always manage.
We also need a little extra help around the house.
What I have in mind is:
Come to our house at around 4pm on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday (if that works with your other commitments, noting that we do have some flexibility about the days). Empty the dishwasher for us, chuck on a 15 minute wash, and hang out the washing.
Leave our house on foot at around 4:30pm to pick up Eliza from daycare. (It’s a 10-15 minute walk).
Pick up our daughter and walk her home in the pram. Most likely she will then just want to play for a while, though she may also want food, in which case we will ask you to start the process of giving her dinner (which will just involve microwaving some food we keep in the freezer).
We will then be home at around 530-6, or 630 at the latest.
We are an Alphington based family who are currently seeking a wonderful nanny to support our 5 and 8 year old girls. We are looking for someone ideally Monday to Friday who can assist with laundry and light housework, school pick up, and basic meal preparation for the girls. We are looking for someone who can create a fun, caring and supportive environment that encourages learning and development. Pay is negotiable for the right candidate.
We have a beautiful 10 month old boy named Sonny. We’re after a regular nanny two-three times a week to begin (Tuesdays and Thursdays and fridays ) around 5-6 hours at a time, and on occasions for longer. Activities will involve taking him and our dog for walks, playing in the garden, reading, preparing food and feeding, etc, and bed time some times.
Must have experience with babies, CPR training, and baby led weaning and happy to do light duties.
