Hi Babysitters!
I'm looking for someone 4 mornings per week (Mon/Tue/ Wed/Fri) 7am(ish)-8.45am to come to my house in North Melbourne and help me get the boys (Alex 4yo, Chris 1yo) ready for daycare.

The job involves making the kids breakfast, getting them dressed and into the car. After driving to daycare, which is in Parkville, I'll walk to work and you can park the car in a nearby street.

There is also the opportunity to pick up Saturday morning work (roughly 9am -12pm. It's flexible!) and extra casual nighttime babysitting too.

Please get in touch if you’d like to know more,
Robyn

Hi there!

We’re looking for a wonderful and reliable nanny or babysitter to help with before school care on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 7am–9am.

We have three children aged 13, 7, and 5. Our 13-year-old is very independent and doesn’t require any care in the mornings, but we’re seeking someone to help get our two younger boys ready for school and kindergarten.

The role includes:
• Starting at 7am
• Assisting the boys with breakfast, getting dressed, and school prep
• Walking them to school and kinder (both are within a 20–25 minute walk from our home) (20 minutes is also at a slow pace)
• Taking our friendly dog along for the walk, if you’re comfortable with that – he loves joining the school run!

We’re a relaxed and friendly household, and this role would suit someone local who is looking for a few regular hours during the week.

There may also be opportunities for additional casual babysitting on weekends if you’re interested.

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!

Its very important to be talkative and engaging as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.

We live in Kew with our 3 children aged 6.5, 4.5 and 2.5; our daughter goes to Camberwell Primary while the other two do a mix of kinder (Hawthorn East) + childcare (Kew).

I am looking for someone who could help weekday afternoons from around 3-6pm - helping with school pick-ups and drop-offs to after-school activities for the oldest 2. We’d need help 1-2 days a week - regular Wednesdays + occasional Mondays / Tuesdays.

During school holidays or weeks when one parent is traveling for work, we may also ask for more hours - as possible.

Ideally, we would love to find someone who is:
* Mature and experienced - bringing confidence, comfort and good judgment around small kids - able to bring fun and playfulness yet maintain firm boundaries
* Warm and kind - creating strong positive attachments with our kids
* Engaged and development oriented - thoughtful about exposing the kids to activities and experiences that will help them learn and grow - i.e., talking and playing vs looking at phones + screens
*Trustworthy, responsible and prompt - shows up when and where promised - always acts with honesty and integrity - proactive in helping where needed
* Respectful - listens to and supports our intentions as parents - takes care to leave the space better than you found it
* Flexible - quick to adapt as needs evolve, willingly flexing tasks / timing to support where it’s most needed
* Has a drivers license, car and clean driving record - and willing and able to drive 2 kids

Bonus points would be someone who:
