Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Docklands, VIC

Hi, We are two professionals seeking a nanny to help care for our bubbly 2 year old daughter 1-2 days a week, starting Late October. Looking for help on Fridays 8am-4pm with a possibility of expanding to include similar hours on another day. We’re moving to South Melbourne in the coming weeks. We are looking for an engaging, caring, calm and responsible individual who can help keep our bright and determined little one stimulated with play, reading and outings, whilst avoiding screen-time. We value respect, patience, manners and kindness and would like help instilling these values in our daughter. Your primary responsibility will, of course, be caring for our daughter’s well-being, but we would appreciate help with other light duties around the house when able (e.g. laundry / folding, unloading the dishwasher, accepting grocery deliveries, meal preparation for the little one). We welcome you taking initiative but would also appreciate someone open to guidance along the way. We are keen to find someone who can commit for the summer (except for a couple of weeks holiday), but hopefully the longer term if the right person comes along. I will be working from home for some of the time, so we hope to find someone who we can consider part of the family. There will be opportunity for casual baby-sitting in the evenings from time to time also. Our daughter has food allergies so first aid training is essential and you should be prepared to manage anaphylaxis, if necessary. Candidates must be immunised, including double-vaxxed against COVID-19 but the time they start. Previous experience and references essential, and experience with children of same age preferable. Remuneration will be dependent on experience and connection with our daughter. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our family is seeking a nanny, mainly for after school hours for our 5 year old daughter. We need someone near South Melbourne who is experienced, reliable and trustworthy, and available 2:30pm-6pm Mon-Fri. The role is for childcare, basic dinner preparation and light housework. Must be comfortable with a dog. Please apply if you think you'd be a good match for our family. All adult members of the family are fully vaccinated for COVID—19.

Hello! We are a Rainbow Family of 6 (four kids). Our children are aged 9, 6 and 3 year old twins. We also have a very cute kitten. Our kids are bright and bubbly, fun and sensitive. They love building, creating, nature, make-believe and stories. We would love a carer who is fabulously creative and energetic. You would have bucketloads of initiative and experience and be ready to get your hands dirty!! Due to our twins’ health conditions (born at 24 weeks gestation) we can only allow fully vaccinated people into our home. Ideally you will help us out with: Care of children, Children's meal prep, Developing creative play prompts, Keeping play spaces tidy, Cleaning up after kids dinner/lunch etc. One of us is generally home with you during the day, and we tend to do a divide and conquer arrangement during the day based on needs, medical appointments etc, so while sometimes you might take the four kids to the park, generally you will only have 2-3 kids in your care at one time!!
