Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Balmoral QLD

Looking for someone to help out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon with school pick ups, driving to after school activities, bath and dinner. Hours are 2.30pm (ish) - 6pm Monday to Wednesday. It is for three children aged 13, 11 and 6, however most of the time spent with the 11 and 6 year old as the 13 year old will be commuting to high school and likely only need train station pick ups. Work will be during school term with some possible hours (not as frequent) during school holidays. Also possibility of extra time on other days if there is availability some weeks, but not essential to be right for the job. Applicants should have a car to drive kids around in (we will supply the car seat for the 6 year old). Will include some light housework like laundry also. We also have a puppy (around 14 months) so you will need to be OK with dogs (but no requirement to do anything with the dog).

We're an active, outdoorsy, and close-knit family looking for a warm, dependable nanny who's as excited about child development and exploration as we are! Our two little ones - a curious and extroverted 4-year-old and a happy, busy 1-year-old - thrive in an environment full of movement, learning, and new experiences. We're seeking someone who will be a true partner in helping them grow, learn, and discover the world around them.

Mum and Dad both have professional careers in the CBD. We occasionally work from home if required but are generally based in our respective offices during business hours.

We're looking for someone who is naturally warm, imaginative, and full of energy - someone who isn't afraid to get a little silly, dress up as a pirate, or host a pretend tea party when our 4-year-old is deep in a world of make-believe (given this, fluent English is a must). At the same time, it's important that you bring a calm, confident presence and can provide the structure and consistency young kids thrive on. You'll know how to balance fun with clear boundaries, and help guide our children with patience, empathy, and respect. A great sense of humor, a big heart, and a genuine love for early childhood are all must-haves.

*Creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for both children
*Planning stimulating age-appropriate activities (think crafts, park trips, play groups, library outings, and sensory play)
- Encouraging curiosity and supporting developmental milestones
*Preparing healthy snacks and meals for the children
*Managing naps, nappy changes, and daily routines
*Light tidying and laundry related to the kids
*Kindy or activity drop-offs/pick-ups

Days are flexible! We are looking for someone to help out with our 12 month old while we spend three months in Brisbane on a work trip for Mum. Dad is a stay at home parent, but we would love some extra support a couple times a week for a few hours at a time to help watch our son so Dad can get some other things done. It would also be great if you are able to occasionally help out with some meal prep! A bit about us: we're a creative family of artists, we believe in community, and we're trying to raise our son to be curious, communicative and really good at telling jokes. Let's chat and see if we could be a good fit!

I am looking for a babysitter for my 2 year old.
Location: Rochedale
Time: Monday-Friday from 8:00 am until 3:00 pm.
Kindly let me know if interested, thanks.

Hey ladies! My mother in law in our son (Hamish’s) regular carer and we really need someone to fill in when she’s unavailable. We’re keen to kick off just a few hours but would be a full 8 hours if we can find someone free for when this comes up in future.
Hamish is a lovely little guy who LOVES the outdoors. There’s stacks of parks around our house so take him to one and you’ll fill the time fast! He’s a sweet little cuddle bug but at 20 months juuust starting to test the boundaries a bit, still pretty keen to please for the most part though.
We have a big friendly dog calls Boz, so you need to be ok with big dogs as he will want to be your best friend.
Any other questions we’re happy to answer!

AGENCY ROLE
We are looking for an educator to look after a 4.5 year old boy.
Thursday 8am to 4pm
Must have qualifications in child care (Cert III or Diploma in Early Childhood Ed & Care or enrolled to study)
$35/hour

Hi, I'm a solo-mum by choice to an 8 mth old boy. I am a social worker and counsellor and am lucky to have some family who can occasionally be with him while I work from home roughly 2 days a week - however I'm in need of some back-up caregivers to help keep him safe and contented while I'm working with my clients and my family aren't available.
More often than not he's a happy little guy. He is crawling, getting into cupboards, walking himself along the furniture and taste-testing anything he can get his hands on so needs some good supervision! He truly is a delight and super cute (I might be biased). He loves singing, playing, books, baby-time at the library and time outside. He is breastfed and is enjoying exploring some foods.
Sometimes I may need only 2hrs help - other times closer to a full day. When I have more than 2 back to back appointments I make sure to schedule breaks so I can come and feed him/spend time with him in between. Where possible, I will do nappies.
Kindness, empathy and joy in being with babies are what I'm looking for - experience with babies too. Bonus points if you have knowledge of Circle of Security Parenting :) I'd love someone who could work with us regularly so he can be familiar with you. If the work coincides with a nap for bub, I'd appreciate some light housework (tidying toys/folding washing), but priority will always be baby :) Let me know why you want to work with babies, how you see your role as a babysitter, and whatever you think is important for me to know about you. Then, let's talk and see whether we might be a good fit. Thank you!
