Both kids are high energy and love tennis, enjoy 0.5 hour of video games (except no technology-day is Wednesdays), are diligent but need gentle reminder on school homework etc. boys do music lessons on Fridays and Mondays (but is not part of your job description, its just FYI).

If this trial in July goes well, we are looking to explore a LONGER SUPPORT PERIOD in October and November - 2 months.

Hi all,

I’m looking for someone to join my team as a support worker for a beautiful 10 year old boy with Norries Disease who is blind and has autism and an intellectual disability. He is supported after school 3pm-8pm, weekends and school holiday. One of his current support workers is going away later in the year and we are looking to start training someone to replace her starting end of june. Days are flexible with, wednesday and thursday after school available and fortnightly Sundays 3pm-8pm available. To start with we would be looking for 1-2 shifts per week with the potential to increase in the future. All training and ongoing support is provided by me so no need for prior experience but this is highly regarded. You would need to be mature, nurturing, and to have a passion for working with children and learning new skills as well as the ability to stay calm when child is dysregulated and adapt to ongoing training and feedback. Someone who is either working in or aspiring to work in behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech therapy or physio therapy would be perfect for this role as we work closely with these therapies and integrate goals into what we do with the children on a daily basis. Please note a drivers licence and access to a car is essential for the role. We are looking for someone who can make a long term commitment of at last 1 year and the role requires regular weekly work with the child to be able to work with him on the school holidays so I am not able to accept applicants who are looking for temporary or solely school holiday work. He also gets anxious around people with a heavy accent as he is very sensitiveq to sounds..Thank you!

We are in Elsternwick with one of the older child’s activities on Wednesday requiring you to drive to a nearby suburb. We have lovely playgrounds close by and live right next to Ripponlea estate and gardens, so lots to entertain them both.
We are looking for someone who has experience with both ages, can manage multiple young children, and has a full driving licence and their own transport.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

We’re a warm, down-to-earth family in Brighton East looking for a reliable and nurturing nanny to care for our six-month-old baby boy. He’s a happy, easy-going little guy who’s currently on a three-nap schedule and loves getting out and about.

We’re hoping to find someone who brings a kind, calm energy into our home and shares our values. We also have a very friendly French Bulldog, so being comfortable with dogs is a must.

The role will involve:
• Caring for our baby during the day while I work from home
• Taking him to a local activity group (must be a confident, safe driver — you’ll have use of our family car for outings like the library etc.)
• Supporting his learning and development through play and interaction
• Light household help during nap times (basic baby meal prep and tidying)

We’d love to find someone who shows initiative, is engaged with children’s development, and is looking to build a long-term relationship with our family. We’ll also be looking for occasional weekend babysitting when events pop up.

Details:
• Starting one day a week (Wednesdays), with plans to move to two days this and potentially three next year
• Flexible, supportive environment
• Located in Brighton East

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!

Hi Nannies!

We’re on the hunt for a new Mary Poppins to join our family and care for our three adorable little characters. Sadly, our much-loved nanny has had to leave due to a family emergency — so we’re hoping to find someone just as special.

A bit about us:
• Location: McKinnon/Bentleigh/Ormond (3204)
• Hours: Mostly between 9:30am–4:30/5pm, Monday to Friday
• No weekend, public holiday, or after-hours work
• Three little ones:
- Almost 5yo girl (at kinder 2 days a week – Mon & Wed, starting school next year)
- 3yo girl (starting kinder next year)
- 20-month-old boy (easy-going toddler with a big smile and growing into his own adorable personality)

We think they’re hilarious and delightful little monsters — you’ve been warned!

Our vibe:
The kids are creative, curious and full of energy. They love:
• Arts and crafts, painting, pay dough, dress-ups
• Roleplaying mums & dads, café, etc.
• Parks, playgrounds, pram walks, bike rides, scooting, picnics, collecting leaves and sticks (which stay outside!)
• Puzzles, games, music, dancing and sensory play
• Cars, blocks, magnetic tiles, footy or throwing a ball and dancing!
• We’ve also got two friendly, fluff balls who are part of the family — they’ll want pats too!

Dad works full-time mostly in the office, and I (Mum) mostly work from home — I’ll be around but busy working, available to check in or help when needed.

What we’re looking for in our dream nanny is:
• Not responding to this with an AI generated response (we can tell)
• Warm, fun, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with little ones. Be engaging enough to get the kids comfortable pretty quickly.
• Experienced with multiple children at once
• Experienced with girls e.g. can do girls’ hair, can play pretend makeup, draw, be creative with crafts, etc.
• Professional, punctual, organised, clean, responsible and easy-going (I’m quite OCD with toys being put away in their place and things cleaned properly)
• Confident in the kitchen for preparing kids’ meals/snacks (at a minimum you can scramble eggs, make omelettes, French toast, if not, I’ll be teaching you)
• Able to work around naps (2 kids still nap consistently in the middle of the day)
• Proactive with light household help: e.g., folding laundry, tidying kids’ spaces, unpacking groceries
• Engaged and educational – helping our older two with early literacy, counting, days of the week, etc. and our little one with learning words (no TV plonking)
• Active and hands-on — walks, babycino outings, playgrounds, books, crafts, cubby house builds, etc.
• Skilled with bathtime routines: drying hair, moisturising, managing post-bath chaos!
• Comfortable around friendly dogs

Must-haves:
• WWCC
• Police Check
• First Aid (current)
• Driver’s licence & reliable transport (comfortable driving a larger car to kinder/swimming/etc.)
• Willingness to care for sick kids from time to time
• Generally be awesome with them/don’t turn out to be a psycho kidnapper.

Rate:
Rate is negotiable based on experience. We've been through a few nannies and can now definitely tell when someone clicks with our family.

If you’ve made it this far and found yourself nodding along — we’d love to hear from you!
Please comment with your age, experience, and expected rate, and we’ll be in touch with suitable candidates for next steps.
Looking forward to finding our next superstar!

Hi everyone! My husband Rob and toddler Louis have just moved from Camberwell to Sandringham for a lovely sea change.
Louis has been in occasional care since he was 6 months old for a few days a week. This will come to an end on Wednesday and he will be at home with me for the remainder of the year until he starts kindergarten 2026 in Sandringham. He’s a lovely boyo, shy at first but once he’s familiar with you he’s a lot of fun (and a vey good sleeper)
I will need some help with appointments/classes that I can’t take Louis to (he’s 3 1/2). I have a regular Pilates class and would like to increase that if possible to twice a week (Nail appts/hair cuts/big supermarket shops etc) I’m looking for someone who I can liaise with (with lots of pre-warning) for things that pop up in my diary - even some date nights for my husband and I. Some jobs may be 3 hours required and some possibly 6 hour care. Please let me know if it sounds like something that interests you. We are very flexible and happy to pay cash if you’d prefer :)

Hi,

We’re looking for someone to help with the kids drop off / pick up at school and childcare.

We have a golden retriever so pet friendly would be preferred.

Would be great if you could help with some light housework as well.

Look forward to meeting you.

Thanks.
