Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Southern Melbourne, VIC

Hello! We are Marie & Will and are a half Dutch half Australian family with 2 girls (Pippa of 5 years and Zoë of 2 years). We relocated from Amsterdam to Melbourne (Elwood) last year.

We are looking for a casual babysitter to look after Pippa & Zoë occasionally in the evenings, mostly weekends.

They are generally quite easy and fun to be around, love to dance, sing and read books.

Hourly rate $ 25 for evenings, preferably someone who lives locally, Elwood or surrounding suburbs.

It would be great to find someone for Saturday the 9th of May but even if you are not available that date but interested to meet us, we’d love to hear from you!

My husband is going away for the week and We need an after daycare baby sitter from the 25-28th may for a few hours while mumma bear is still at work :)
Our son is 2 years old and goes to daycare in aspendale gardens
It would include pick up from daycare, dinner, play, bath and then I would be home in time for bed

Looking for someone reliable to collect 7 and 10 y o from school, walk them home and get snack, homework etc. Play some games and then do some simple cooking (usually just reheating!) for dinner. My 10 y o is autistic so need someone patient, experience with neurodiversity would be an advantage

My husband and I are looking for a nanny for Tuesdays and occasional Thursdays. We have a girl aged 10 and boy aged 7. They are pretty easy going. We live in Elsternwick.

We’d like someone who can collect them from school, drop-off/pick-up (car needed) from their extra-curricular activities and feed them snacks/heat up dinner.

If this sounds interesting, we look forward to speaking with you!

Hi! We are looking for an engaged and nurturing nanny for our 20-month-old son, two days per week (we are flexible on which days!).

What We’re Looking For:
Our son is very musical, bright, and observant. We are looking for someone who is warm, nurturing, and who genuinely loves being actively engaged with toddlers - helping them discover and learn about the world through play.

Someone who notices what he’s interested in (whether it’s letters, music, or figuring out how things work) and provides opportunities to keep his brain busy.

Someone comfortable navigating the big emotions of toddlerhood with patience and a calm presence.

We value a phone-free environment where the focus is on meaningful interaction, safety, and connection.

Hello 😊 We are looking for our next super helper to start at the end of April / early May.

We’re a busy family in Sandringham, Ollie (9), Harriet (6), Mum (Amy) and Dad (Andrew). We’re looking for help with drop off and pick up and some support to keep the house running smoothly! We’re walking distance from the kids school but have a car you can drive too. Mornings involve making lunchboxes, getting the kids ready and homework. Then after school it’s pick up, clubs on some days, dinner and getting ready for bed. You’d also be helping with general household jobs around the kids activities (vacuum, help with washing, dishwasher, post office etc).

4 or 5 days a week, 7:30-10am and 3-6pm

$32 / hour

We’ve had Nannys and au pairs for 10 years and they would all be happy to share a reference - most have stayed at least a year and some more than 3!

If this is something you’d be interested we'd love to hear from you

I am looking for a babysitter for my child. He has autism. Must have experience in working with kids with autism.

Must have a car & must drive
Must be willing to provide copy of driving license, police check & WWCH.

I am looking for someone to babysit on the 23, 29th and 30th April (please only apply if you can do all of these dates).
8am-4pm (approx).
You would need to drive my daughter to and from school in Parkdale, and hang out with my son all day (he is 9 but not in school at the moment).
Someone that enjoys drawing, games, kicking the soccer ball would be ideal.

Then there would likely be ad hoc baby sitting required on an ongoing basis.

Thanks,
Jodi

I’m looking for a regular babysitter to look after our two little adorable and fun loving boys called Hugo (3.5 years) and Henry (20months) I am looking for someone to look after the boys each week on either Wednesday’s from 8.30am - 5pm (I work from home this day) and Thursday’s from 8.30am - 5.30pm and occasionally on weekends in the evenings when my husband and I would love the occasional date night. We currently have a babysitter who the boys love, but she is going back to study full-time. I need someone who’s happy to play with the boys and take them to the park and for walks - they love being active and playing outside. I also need someone who’s happy prepare their meals and help clean up after them. We also have a golden retriever called Alfie so I need someone who’s happy to have a dog around at home - although he’s usually outside most of the day. If you’re interested I would love to hear from you.

We are a warm, loving, and welcoming family looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic nanny to help care for our two beautiful little girls (aged 1 and 3), who truly are the heart of our home.

Our home is calm, positive, and faith-filled. As practicing Catholics, our values gently guide our daily life, and we hope to find someone who feels comfortable and respectful within a home where faith, kindness, and love are important.

We’re an active, outdoorsy family who enjoy keeping busy and creating happy, healthy routines for our girls. Our eldest is strong-willed, chatty, and incredibly affectionate, while our baby is curious, content, and such a happy little soul. They both thrive with someone who is patient, nurturing, and genuinely enjoys engaging, playing, and being present with them.

I’ll be returning to work in June and will need ongoing support on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, with the potential for additional days as time goes on.

Over April and May, we’ll be trialling a few nannies to find the right person who feels like a natural fit for our family.

Ideally, you:

* Have a few years of nannying or childcare experience
* Are dependable, punctual, and trustworthy
* Bring a calm, positive, and caring presence
* Enjoy interactive play, outdoor time, and helping with light child-related tasks

We’re really looking for someone who will feel like an extension of our family — someone who will love and care for our girls as if they were their own. If you have a genuine passion for nurturing children and creating a warm, joyful environment, we would absolutely love to hear from you.

Hi, I am looking for someone who can help me with my daughter when i need to get my nails done, go to an appointment, possibly assist with getting her to sleep and caring for her in the evening if i want a girls night, date night etc. My husband isn't the best with this routine so he would be home during these occasions.

This is casual work on an as needed basis.i will need someone predominately during business hours.

My daughter is 10 months old and she's very cheeky but you'll love her. She's got the best big feisty and playfully personality and gosh her laugh will melt your heart.

I don't expect you to be available during all times mentioned above.

Hi, I'm a solo mother of twin boys based in Beaumaris. I am looking for help with picking up (or taking) my children from school in Camberwell each day. This will be a couple of hours a day, at least 4 days each week during the school term, starting May 2026. However, it's important that you forge a strong relationship with my kids, so I would be interested in you starting sooner on a less frequent basis, if that's of interest.

The boys speak French and English. Ideally, if you speak French that would be a huge bonus.
Looking for someone who doesn't get overly stressed about typical kid stuff, and doesn't mind the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. You must have your own vehicle and be happy having booster seats in the car when you drive them. Most likely looking for your help in the afternoons, Monday through Thursday, potentially eventually Friday mornings, too.

Needing someone reliable - this is key. If you can't commit for the full 2026 academic year then please don't apply - my kids will become attached to you (and I will need your support).

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this far! Hope to hear from you. Rate negotiable depending upon experience.
