Hi there!
We are looking for a proven part-time babysitter. We are located in Caulfield North and have a 6-month-old girl and a 2.5-year-old boy. Both are very calm and easy-going kids. My husband works part-time, so he can be around to support where required.

The day/times we are looking at (though we can be flexible) are:
1. Monday - 08:30 to 12:30 - both kids.
2. Wednesday - 09:00 to 17:00 - only the baby girl.
3. Friday - 09:00 to 17:00 - both kids.

Alongside keeping the kids active and entertained, we’re looking for someone happy to help keep the day running smoothly with light cooking and basic tidying/folding while the kids nap or play.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, we'd love to chat and organise a meet-and-greet!

Warmly,
Lana

I’m currently looking for someone reliable and caring for school drop-offs 1–3 times a week, with the occasional weekend shift as well.

The hours would generally be around 6:15am–8:45am, although most mornings it’s mainly being at the house until just after 8 before walking my son to school depending on the weather. We’re based in Carrum at the river close to the beach.

I’m a solo mum and work as a midwife, so reliability and consistency are really important for us. My little boy is 7 years old, and I’m hoping to find someone long term to help keep things stable and familiar for him. Our babysitter/nanny of the past 3 years has recently become a kindergarten teacher, so her availability is now very limited.

Would love to hear a bit about you and whether this kind of role might suit you.
