We live in a great house in Fitzroy and love spending time with our 7 year old son but sometimes weekend and evening work doesn't allow it.
So if you fancy having some fun with a really fun little lad we'd love to hear from you.

Hi! We are a busy family with 3 kids (boy 11, girl 9 and boy 7) and a 7 month old Labrador puppy needing help after school. Job will involve dog walking, school pick ups, dropping off at after school sports and meal prep (mainly assembly / reheating pre-cooked meals that we’ve made). Drivers licence is required and you’ll be driving our car, you’ll need to be comfortable driving as school picks require a car. Looking for assistance 4-5 days a week (flexible on days). Hours (again can be flexible) would be 2pm-7pm. Starting asap (although we can be flexible for the right person)! We require someone motivated, organised and proactive who has experience dealing with multiple kids and are looking for someone who can commit through to December. Thank you

Hi, I’m looking for help to watch my 18 month old daughter during business hours for four days at the end of July because my usual nanny will be on a holiday.

Ideally this person would have experience with children around this age range.

While you’re taking care of my daughter activities to expect are: encourage play time, read to her, go to the park, prepare snacks (lunch is always organized), and her laundry.

Next steps would be:
- meet and greet
- trial
- confirmation of four days

Also note that we have a dog so the candidate must be comfortable with having a dog around.

Looking for someone to join the family and become part of the kids lives, starting with two full days as i ease back into work,

We are needing an experienced nanny who is comfortable with a newborn. They will need/help feed, settle, bath & generally look after our little boy. Occasionally, two little boys.
In the downtime, we are wanting laundry, light house hold chores, overall housekeeping and preparation of dinners.

First aid a must.

We are looking for a reliable, honest and caring babysitter who would be available every FRIDAY afternoon to look after our 5 year old and 18 month old boys starting from Friday 3rd May, 2024.

We will need someone to pick up both kids from daycare and after-school care (all walking distance from house), make dinner/snacks (we can pre-prepare), and get kids ready for bed. Minimal cleaning and tidying after these tasks appreciated, but our main focus is that our kids are engaged with and happy.

Pay rate between $25 - $35 depending on experience.

We are flexible with timing, but were thinking 4:30/5pm - 8:30pm.

Applicants must be happy and willing to follow an asthma care plan for our 5 year old. This is not a common occurrence and refresh training can be provided.

Hello,
we are looking for a fun engaged nanny/babysitter who is able to spend time with our seven-year-old daughter some mornings before school and some afternoons after school.
Needs to be somebody who is able to set clear boundaries, likes spending time outside engaging in activities/ sports/ moving.
Chloe loves books, craft and singing:)

We’re looking for a friendly, committed and caring babysitter for a 17 month old girl. We’re after someone on a casual basis usually a few hours at a time, which could develop into a more regular arrangement. We're based in Southbank, a short walk from Flinders street station.

The sessions would mostly involve playing together at home, going out to explore outdoor playgrounds or finding other interesting activities, as well as providing meals. We’d like your time together to be an engaging, stimulating positive experience.

For example, if you enjoy baking, role-play, sensory-play, nature, visual art and crafts, play a musical instrument or have any other ideas of things to share or do, we’d be exited for you to introduce it to our daughter.

In our family we come from culturally diverse backgrounds and would be happy to welcome someone international as well. One of us is from Europe, so in case you’re from there or a native French speaker (it’s a language we’d like our girl to learn), it would be nice to meet you too.

We’re looking for more than one person so feel free to reach out. If you don’t have much on your profile, you’re welcome to introduce yourself or I’ll have a few questions to ask. Please also specify your hourly rate.

Thank you for reading :)

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello! We are looking for someone to help us out in June, July and August while our nanny goes travelling.
We have three children; the older two (8 and 6) go to Fairfield Primary and the younger (nearly 3) goes to day care very close to our house.
Specifically we would be looking for before school care (which would usually entail arriving 6.30am, sometimes later) including day care and school drop offs, and after school care for the older two plus day care pickup for the 3 year old, Monday-Wednedsay. We would also likely need some evening babysitting and occasional care on other days if you were available. So this would entail 6.30am-9am and 3.30-6.30pm Monday-Wednesday.
We'd prefer to operate on a flexible basis as our rosters mean that sometimes we can cover the morning or afternoon stint.
Our kids do some clubs locally on some of those days so ideally you'd have your own car, but if you can manage the pickups and drop-offs from our house to the school (1km walk, kids are fine with this) then we can work around the other stuff with help from family.
Our kids are not difficult to look after and we can be flexible with your commitments if you give us as much notice as possible.
It would be great if you were happy to help with dinner prep for the kids and occasional household tasks like hanging out or folding laundry, making lunchboxes etc.
While this is a short term assignment, it's highly likely that if we all got along we would continue to use you for babysitting or occasional childcare when our regular nanny is unavailable when she gets back.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Many thanks.

Looking for another me!! Someone willing to help out wherever is needed.
Including help with getting the kids to their after school activities, plus after school routine of cooking/meal preparation, homework help, putting kids to bed etc.
Also someone who is willing to help with the washing/folding, tidying, light housekeeping, general help around the house.
