Looking for a casual babysitter for our two boys aged 3 & 5. Usually this will be evening times but there could be occasional day time.

Hello, I’m looking for a regular nanny to help with kinder/school pick up on Mondays OR Tuesdays. Detail: 2.50pm-5.20pm Mondays; kids are 5 (boy), 7 (girl) and 11 (girl); our car will be provided for kinder/school pick up; potential for additional ad hoc babysitting if interested (e.g. evenings, school holidays).
My kids are pretty relaxed and enjoy low key activities like going to the park, doing craft, reading, imaginative play and jumping on the trampoline. I was a nanny when I was a uni student, and would welcome someone like my younger self! If you're keen to have a regular part time nanny job and get to know some fabulous kids, please get in touch.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic person to help our family and 1-2 afternoons per week 3:00–6/6:30pm. Flexible on days.

We are located in camberwell and looking for someone to help out with picking the girls up from school a few days per week and get them home and fed afternoon tea etc. Help with homework and take to after school activities if they have any.
The girls are 8 and 6.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi babysitters,

My name is Madeleine. I’m mum of two little girls aged 3 and 1. We are looking for someone to help our busy family out.

Our arrangement can be flexible but would look something like this:

Arrive 7:45 to help with girls’ morning routine. This may involve breakfast, getting them dressed, changing nappies, reading stories, packing schoolbags.

Then take the girls to daycare (1km away)

Then we would love you to return to the house for some light cleaning and organising. This would mean things like, picking up lego, cleaning up from breakfast, folding some laundry (if needed) and then helping to get our evening meal ready. That would mean chopping a few things up to make our evening smoother.

I would say the time would be 745-10:30ish. But we can work out whats needed.

As a family, we are very approachable, kind people and our girls are our absolute priority. We would love you to genuinely be interested in children and take pride in being an extension of our family. We are based in Hawthorn East.

Thanks,

Madeleine

Hello amazing nannies!

We are a family of four (plus two small, friendly dogs) looking for a warm, reliable and active nanny to care for our two energetic boys, who will be 4 and 2 years old by early 2027. Our beloved long-time nanny is sadly returning home to Scotland after several years with us. We are looking for a special person our boys can build that same, close connection with.

Because I am a Master's student, my roster changes slightly between semesters, so this role is perfect for someone who can be flexible and adjust to a dynamic schedule!

The Schedule:
- For the remainder of this year: casual evening babysitting (Fri/Sat) to get to know the boys and build familiarity.
- December: Some casual half-days (daytime care).
- Late Jan to Early March 2027: Official role starts at 2 full days per week (8:00 am – 3:30 pm).
- March - Mid-Year (Semester 1): Approx. 14–15 hours per week (e.g. 3 half-days from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm). Exact days/times confirmed mid-February once my timetable is finalised.
- University Semester Breaks: Returns to 2 full days per week (8:00 am – 3:30 pm)

Key Responsibilities:
- Keeping the boys active and engaged without screen time. Managing a transition to quiet play, drawing or reading with the 4yo while the 2yo takes his midday nap.
- Outings & Kinder Runs: Taking the boys to local parks and the library. Managing morning drop-offs for our 4-year-old at kindergarten using public transport (he attends 3 days a week).
- Preparing snacks and meals.
- Light Household Help: Folding the kids' clean laundry, unstacking the dishwasher and ensuring play areas are tidied up together after activities.

Our 4yo is anaphylactic to nuts and is currently outgrowing an egg allergy. It is essential that you feel confident and competent identifying reactions and administering an EpiPen if an emergency arises.

We are seeking a mature adult with experience who can commit to the full 2027 calendar year. It is important that you are reliable and arrive on time. This position requires someone who can confidently manage toddler boundaries and big emotions with a caring and gentle approach.

If this sounds like the perfect fit for you and your schedule, we would love to hear from you!
Please send through your experience, qualifications and a bit about yourself.

Ta! :)

Hi there,

We’re looking for a warm and reliable person(s) to help with a bit of childcare and housework.

One parent works long hours, the other is away for 2 weeks of the month for work (FIFO), so we’re looking to help with the workload.

We have a 3.5yo son, and a 10 year old dog (whippet).

Jobs:
The idea is to help with the afternoon and evening shift: come around in the afternoon and assist with some housework (see below), walk the dog, then bring our son home from childcare, prepare dinner, some playtime with our son and put him to bed.

The housework component will depend on what needs to be done on day and can include:
Cooking / meal prepping,
Meal planning,
Cleaning,
Dishes
Tidying up
Washing clothes, folding laundry.

We’ll provide a car for the childcare pickup.

Timing:
- 3 weekdays per week, flexible. We’re also happy to split this across multiple people, so don’t be afraid to get in touch if you can only do one day per week.
- 3pm - 9pm. Generally, the bedtime routine finishes at 9pm, so we’re after someone who can typically help at that time, however we’re open to discussing starting and finishing times.

We’re looking for someone who:
- Is reliable and trustworthy
- Warm, and likes working with children
- Has a working with children check certificate,
- Has a drivers licence
- Likes dogs (our dog is harmless, but excitable)
- Has initiative; can notice what needs doing without being asked

If this sounds like something that would suit you, get in touch! We’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!

*(It may take 3 - 5 days for us to respond to your application! Thanks!)
** I’ve put every day of the week into the profile to indicate our flexibility on the weekdays. To confirm, we are looking for 3 weekdays per week.

We’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy babysitter to help care for our 17-month-old son, on an ad hoc basis, sometimes with fairly short notice.

We’re relatively new to Melbourne and don’t have family support nearby, so we’d love to find someone local who we can build an ongoing relationship with and feel comfortable contacting when we need an extra pair of hands.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a current WWCC and Police Check
• Has experience with, or is very confident caring for, children around 17 months old
• Is reliable, responsible and genuinely comfortable with young children
• Lives in or close to Surrey Hills
• Is available during weekday working hours, generally between 9am–6pm
• Is comfortable being in a home with a cat - no pet care is required, he’ll simply be around!

The work would be casual/ad hoc rather than set weekly hours, and occasionally we may need someone at relatively short notice, so someone with a bit of flexibility would be ideal.

We’d really love to find someone warm, dependable and trustworthy who can become a familiar person for our little boy rather than having to find a different babysitter each time.

If you’re interested, please send me a message with a little bit about yourself, your experience with young children, your general availability and your hourly rate. 🤍

We are seeking an experienced babysitter to manage kinder & after school pick-ups.
Ongoing Tuesday & Thursday’s until 5:30/6pm.
Tuesday is school pick up for 6 & 10yo from Malvern Primary.
Thursday is school for 6 & 10yo plus kinder for 3yo. Dropping 10yo at basketball training
You will need your own car and WWC

💚 Experienced Nanny Wanted – Chadstone

We’re looking for a caring, reliable nanny for our happy, social 1-year-old boy on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, ideally 8:00am–11:30am, with some flexibility around the start time and occasional longer shifts.

Experience caring for children around his age is essential. We need someone confident with nappies, preparing age-appropriate meals and recognising everyday safety risks, who can take initiative and manage his morning routine without step-by-step guidance.

His usual routine includes:

• Waking around 8–9am, followed by a nappy change and milk
• Reading books and playing
• Preparing and feeding him breakfast—such as eggs, toast, avocado, prawns or meat
• Another nappy change, then more books and play

We’d also appreciate light tidying of the kitchen and lounge when he’s settled and it’s safe to do so.

We both work full-time with flexible schedules and would love to find someone we can trust to take the lead with his morning care.

Please message me with a little about yourself, your experience caring for 1-year-olds and your availability. 💚
