We are a friendly Hawthorn family who needs some extra help with kids and housework over the next few months as mum returns to work. We have 3 gorgeous kids - a very happy and clever almost 5 year old girl who loves dressing up, dancing and using her imagination; an independent almost 3 year old boy who loves ball sports and all things construction and farms; and an almost 1 year old boy who adores his older brother and sister!
Looking for someone mainly Wednesday and fridays afternoons, thursday and friday mornings to help with kinder/childcare drop offs/pick ups of the older 2 kids on foot, dinner, bathe kids, get them ready for bed and attend to light housework. We can be flexible for applicants who cannot work all shifts we require.
Looking for a daytime babysitter/nanny for my 13 months old daughter on the need basis. Both parents work from home so we will be there to support. Require some one who can provide care during the days our daughter is not going to childcare. This week she is home so we need from Tomorrow. Thanks.
After-school pick ups Tues/Wed/Thurs (3 - 6pm T&W and 3 - 6:30pm Th), for 11yo G and 8yo B - two bubbly children who are seeking someone engaging and present who has 4+ years experience, WWCC, full driver’s licence - must be off P plates - parent references and is reliable and able to commit for a minimum of 6 months.
3:00-6:00/6:30pm $35/hr

Nanny duties include: Pick up kids from school/bus stop (car provided) - one pick up at 3:30pm and the other pick up at 3:45pm.

Light house duties of folding of washing (if a basket is done) and putting away clothes, and cooking dinners for the kids - guidance provided on this unless you happen to be a whiz in the kitchen and don't need any guidance on meals! :-)
Looking for someone that is reliable and can commit to the hours. Someone that is patient, present and genuinely enjoys kids but can also set boundaries when required. Someone that has the ability to be able to see the little things also that might help a working parent out and can clean up after themselves and have the house tidy 😊

I am a mum of 2 (5 year old son and 2.5 year old daughter), both of my kids are quite easy going and loves books, LEGO and trains!
We are looking for a babysitter for 4 days a week, Monday to Thursday, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM (you will start with 2 days a week and will extend to 4 days if it is a mutual fit and the children are happy with you). We would require you to play with the kids, read them books and give them snacks and food; also do slight tidying up around the house like keeping toys in order, loading the dishwasher, etc. I work from home most days, so I will be around if you need any help.
We live in Canterbury (close to East Camberwell and Canterbury train stations).
Our amazing nanny Lucy is headed back home to Scotland in June, and while we’ll miss her hugely, we’re looking for someone just as kind, capable, and down-to-earth to join our family long-term.
We’ve got three awesome, active kids and a busy household, and we’re looking for a nanny/house keeper who’s practical, warm, and great with kids.
The Role – What We Need Help With:
Monday to Thursday, 2.30pm–7.30/8pm
Occasional Fridays during the day
Extra hours/full days during school holidays
You’ll be supporting us during the after-school stretch and helping keep the house ticking along. That includes:
School pickups (you’ll need a full licence – we can provide the car)
Hanging with the kids after school – playing, helping with homework, and taking them to activities
Helping getting dinner sorted and school lunches packed - need to be competent in the kitchen.
Light household duties – tidying kids’ rooms, laundry, changing bed sheets, grocery shopping and keeping them pantry full
> (We’ve got a cleaner – so this is more about keeping the kids' stuff under control than doing deep cleans.)
You’ll be great for this role if you:
Genuinely enjoy being around kids and know how to connect with them
Speak fluent English – so you can help with homework and have easy chats with the kids
Are confident behind the wheel – driving is a must
Have some nanny or childcare experience, and can step into the flow of a family home
Why Us?
We’re a friendly, down-to-earth family who will treat you with respect and kindness. You’ll be part of the family – we’ve had great experiences with our nannies, and we want this to be a positive and enjoyable role for you too.
If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch and tell us a bit about yourself and your experience.
Hi babysitters! We're looking for someone to help out for a few hours regularly on the weekends with our 2 girls aged 4 and 1. We can be flexible with day and time. My husband and I are both around, we just need an extra pair of hands so we can get a few things done!
Our last beautiful babysitter was with us for 3 years while she completed her degree and she really became like part of the family, so we're hoping to find someone reliable who can commit to regular hours each week and will be with us long-term. There will be opportunities for extra hours on school holidays, again we can be pretty flexible with days and times and are happy to work around uni and other job commitments.
The position will initially be mostly helping out with our 4-year-old - she loves to do arts and crafts, read, board games and puzzles and play outside. We have a great backyard and several parks within walking/scooting distance. As our 1-year-old gets a bit older there is also the potential for additional hours helping out with her during the week. We're looking for someone who is fun, kind, patient, helpful and reliable who wants to build a genuine connection with our girls. If this sounds like you or you have any questions we'd love to hear from you 😊
