Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Inner Melbourne, VIC

Hi!
We are a family of three, both parents returning to work in January. Looking for a friendly, reliable nanny to take care of our lovely 1 year-old daughter for two days during the week (daytimes Monday and Wednesday). Days are a lot of fun and include activities we would love you to be involved in (e.g. Gymbaroo, swimming, library story times, playgrounds, looking for ducks etc.).
Some other details:
-- We are ideally looking for someone who can commit to a 12-month arrangement with us
-- Start date is flexible in January
-- Support with basic household tasks would also be great (e.g. washing/folding clothes, dishes, basic meal prep)
-- If you speak French or Spanish, that is a bonus (but not essential)!
If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!

I am looking for someone who is available to drop off and pick up my son from kindergarten on a regular basis. The center is a short tram ride away and I would require you to be at our house at 645am so I can head to work.

After school care including school pick up for our 4 and 6 year old boys (4 year old goes to kinder on school site) 2:45-4:30pm. Our six year old has autism so needs a patient and kind person, ideally with experience with neurodiverse children. Ideally you would be available for school holiday care too.

School pick up could be by car or bus (so drivers licence would be good but not essential).

Babysitting for a one year old

Hey, we are looking for a carer for our ~ 6 month old daughter.

Still working through a return to work framework, so initially may be 2 x half days a week, or 3 full days depending on return to work timing.

Looking for someone experienced in childcare, development, nursing or paedeatrics.

We are looking for someone that is positive, calm and supportive, who is a very positive influence on our daughter’s development, and also help out the household.

I’m a single mum looking for a reliable, patient and attentive carer to be an extra pair of hands with my two kids (a 4-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl). Both are bright, hilarious little humans who are also neurospicy (ADHD/autistic traits) and sometimes struggle with emotional regulation, transitions and tired end-of-day feelings.

This is an ongoing arrangement, not a short-term role. I’m hoping to find someone who can commit for at least the next 4 months (ideally longer) and become a consistent, familiar face for the kids (and our hairless dog).

The kids are absolute sweethearts - they just need someone who “gets” them, can see past the tricky moments, and help them feel safe and regulated.

Your role:
• Collect from daycare (Fitzroy) & after school care (Clifton Hill)
• Drive kids home to Fitzroy
• Prepare simple kid-friendly meals
• Supervise showers, help with PJs, stories and settling into bed
• Provide calm, caring support with big feelings/meltdowns when they happen

Occasional Mondays may also include:
• Caring for my 4-year-old during the day
• Taking him to his swimming lesson and other appointments

Very occasional Saturdays might also pop up and could include:
• Hanging out with both kids while I’m at work (think parks, play, crafts)
• Taking the 6-year-old to their swimming lesson (Clifton Hill) while you chill on the sidelines with the 4-year-old
• Keeping them entertained, safe and fed through the day until I’m home from work

PLEASE NOTE **hours will vary week to week**

My work hours can be unpredictable, so I’m hoping to find someone who can be a bit flexible and is comfortable with a changing schedule (always with as much notice as I can give).

About you
• Genuinely enjoy kids and are warm, playful and kind
• Calm and patient, especially with emotional ups and downs
• Reliable, organised and good with routines
• Experience with autistic/ADHD or other neurodivergent kids is highly preferable
• Comfortable with basic cooking and light end-of-day kid chores

Requirements
• Own car
• Appropriate child seats (or willing to make an arrangement)
• WWCC (or willing to obtain)
• First Aid/CPR a big plus

**WAGE is negotiable depending on experience**

If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear a bit about your experience, availability and why you think you’d be a good fit for this spicy little crew.
