Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Northern Middle Melbourne, VIC

Hi there,

We are looking for a Nanny to support my return from Maternity Leave next May, at which time our baby girl will be 10 months old. Given the important role you will play in our lives - and our daughter's life - we are looking for someone is experienced, trustworthy and that we can treat as part of our extended family. Hourly rate negotiable based on experience and duties.

About you:
We are looking for someone with experience Nannying a newborn/s and strong parent references who can manage the day to day care of our daughter at our home in Northcote (no car required) - managing feeding, play and naps.

We will also require support with simple food prep (for our baby's meals) and basic tidying eg packing up toys or activities from the day, dishes and unpacking dishwasher (if needed) however no other home duties required.

Essential:
- Paediatric first aid
- Previous experience Nannying young babies
- References
- WWCC and police check
- All vaccinations up to date
- Reliable and great communicator

At this stage we will need care 3-4 days/week. We hope to do some trials ahead of May start date, and have someone confirmed in the role by March next year.

About our daughter:
- Happy newborn with a content demeanour and in a good sleep and feeding routine
- All vaccines are up to date

About us:
My name is Sophie (44) and my husband is Jacob (35). We welcomed our daughter, Valerie, in July this year after a very lengthy and complex fertility journey. She has been the little miracle we were hoping for and she is a ray of sunshine in our lives. Jacob and I are both passionate about family and friends, travel, healthy living and we enjoy our respective careers. We both work in hybrid roles (3 days in office, 2 days at home) so one of us will often be home working from the front office on alternating days.

About our home:
Our home is a lovely light-filled and carefully curated space to spend the day, with a small back yard and lawn. Heating/cooling and well equipped kitchen for your use. Easy pram walks to plenty of local parks, cafes and ammenities nearby, too.

Hi there,
I am looking for a nanny to support out family on Thursday and Friday mornings, 7-9:30/10am in 2026.

We have two children, aged 4 and 1 and we are located in Northcote.

Tasks would include getting the children ready and dropping them off to kinder and childcare, both in walking distance from our house.

We would not require help during the school holidays.
If this is of interest to you, please contact me.

Thank you!
Kate

We are looking for a nanny to become part of our growing family. We currently have a 5 month old and are looking to have another baby next year.

Starting with Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am -2pm, but this can be flexible if needed. With some extra evenings and the potential to travel with us while we are on holiday, interstate and overseas.

We run our own business so are flexible with work, but would love someone to be in the home to help with childcare and other household tasks.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (18m). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Fridays (9am-12pm (3hrs) and/or 2-5pm (3hrs)) starting on a weekly basis from 16 Jan 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria), cleaning/housework.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am looking for a long term baby sitter / nanny for my son, Marcus, who is 2 years old and his cousin, Grace, who is also 2 years old. We need daytime care for 2 days a week, with a possibility of increasing to 3 in the future. We are located in Bundoora and Greensborough and wish to alternate between homes. The days of the week are flexible at this stage. We are looking to start care from January 2026 and hope to continue this for approximately 12 month with a chance of extending beyond this.
We would love someone who our children can connect with and grow to love.
We would love someone to spend time facilitating educational playtime and encouraging intuitive skills
We would love to chat some more so please don't hesitate to contact me for my number to discuss further

Hello lovely nannies!
Our current nanny is about to move away, so we are now looking for a new fun, loving and energetic nanny to care for our two kids. We are a friendly outgoing family of four and we both work in the Melbourne CBD. We love eating, heading out to the park, riding bikes and making each other laugh!
Our 11yo daughter is creative and crafty, while our 8yo son is active and loves a laugh. Both kids adore books and reading and really get into imaginative play.
We need help for four afternoons a week (Tuesday to Friday).
Proposed hours are 1.30pm to 6.30/7pm (we are flexible with start time, depending on your availability) to allow time to prepare the evening meal (happy for you to eat with the kids or take some home) and carry out some light household duties prior to the after-school pick-up. (The school is a short stroll away).
Although the primary focus is to care for and stimulate our kids, duties will include food preparation (afternoon tea, cooking a simple dinner for the family), supervision of homework, showers and some light housework (e.g., folding laundry, general tidying and a small amount of vacuuming).
