Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Avondale Heights VIC

I’d like to find a mother’s helper for 1-2 days per week for my five month old.
Mostly I would like somebody to look after the baby for a few hours while I nap, workout, or cook.

I’m looking for a kind and reliable sitter for my 13-year-old son during the school holidays and some evenings while I’m at work. I’m hoping to find someone he can genuinely connect with and feel comfortable around.

Ideally, you would have a full drivers licence and a valid Working With Children Check. We are located in Tullamarine.

I’m looking for around 3 days per week, roughly 10:30am–4:00pm. The role would include taking him to activities such as bowling, Timezone, Luna Park, the movies, Bounce, or alternatively keeping him entertained at home. He enjoys board games, gaming, drawing and arts.

He also loves being active—shooting hoops, kicking a soccer ball, going for a bike ride—so someone who enjoys sport or being outdoors would be wonderful.

Depending on how he connects with the right person, there may be ongoing weekly hours after the holidays.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in, I’d truly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much 🙏💙

Our lovely baby sitter is moving, so we’re seeking a reliable babysitter to assist with daycare and school pickup during the week. We live in Pascoe Vale and have two Swaussie (Swedish/Aussie) girls, aged 3 and 6. They enjoy going to the park, animals (we have an elderly dog and a cat), arts and crafts, reading books, and dancing. They’re very entertaining and enjoyable to be around, though they do have occasional meltdowns when it’s time to leave the park. We’re always happy to help if that happens if you struggle. :)

The role involves picking them up at 3 pm from daycare or school two days a week (we can be flexible with it being Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday!). You’ll most likely take them to the park for a hour before we arrive home around 5 pm. They enjoy outdoor activities, but we only have a small yard, so visiting the park would be ideal.

We’re looking for a 20+ female who is confident, creative, playful, honest, safety-minded, reliable, and positive. A personal car is necessary for this role, as the school is about a 10-minute drive from our house. We’ll provide the car seats, but ideally, you’d be comfortable having them in most weeks (we’re happy to reinstall them every once in a while.

We want our kids to get the most out of their childhood, especially through play, and hope to find someone who can help facilitate that. We’ll pay a casual rate and you’ll need insurance. You’ll need to keep phone use to a minimum when you’re with the kids. Besides than that we’re pretty flexible and easy going. We’d hope you could commit to about a year if we’re a good fit. Our current babysitter is happy to be a reference for us.

We are flexible on days and times at this stage so it could be a good opportunity for you to let us know your ideal availability and we can hopefully work something out. ideally we are looking for support for 4 hour shifts, on 1-2 times a week during the morning or day time.
Pay rate is $50 / hour. When responding please message me info on your previous experiences and how that worked, where you are located and your ideal availability times. Thanks!

Babysitting for a one year old

Looking for somebody to watch my 8-year-old daughter for 13 weeks, definitely on Thursday mornings from 7AM-9AM getting her up and ready for school. As well, as picking her up from school on that same day, being Thursday, for 13 weeks, and entertaining her (park, library, dinner, home, museum etc) till 7pm.

I will also need help on other days and time open to negotiation. I am happy to work with your availability, for at least another 15 hours potentially more during each week.

This is a fluid situation, however Thursday is 100% needed as I am in university and must be on class that day.
I also need to take an internship volunteering so will need babysitting on those days as well.

I am a single mother while in Melbourne, and relocating with my daughter from New York.

I have always found wonderful babysitters on this site, when visiting, but this is a little different as my daughter will be attending school.

We land in Melbourne, middle of January and have a house in Fitzroy. Would like to have somebody organised by the time we land.

Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing back from you. Libby

Hi! I’m a single dad with two daughters (5 & 8) who are with me 50% of the time. They’re both very creative and energetic, and I’m looking for a reliable, practical person to help keep the house running smoothly so I can be more present with them.

I’m after someone on a casual, ongoing basis to help with a weekly “house reset”. This would usually be 1–2 hours per week to start, with flexibility either side.

Tasks might include:
• Tidying up and putting things back in their place
• Washing dishes or unpacking the dishwasher
• Folding or putting away clean laundry
• Light room resets and general organisation
• Occasional personal assistant–type errands, like picking up birthday presents or small items

There may also be occasional ad-hoc babysitting, if you’re open to it, but the core of the role is household help rather than childcare.

The role will likely start regularly from late January, as my current helper is moving interstate, though there may be a few opportunities before then.

I’m looking for someone who’s organised, trustworthy, and happy to work independently once shown the ropes. If you enjoy creating calm, tidy spaces and helping a family function a little more smoothly, I’d love to hear from you and see if it’s a good fit 🙂

Our two children are nearly six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking for a long-term nanny to become a new part of our family and help provide stability and security. Starting wage is $35, higher for specific experience/qualifications.

We need:

- Afternoons, 2-7pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Mum and Dad arrive home just before 7pm)
- School pick-up (10 min drive, booster seats provided)
- Dinner preparation (reheat or simple preps), tidying, dishes
- Supervision of music practice and homework
- Extended hours are available for a household manager to support with other house cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping


Our kids are energetic and bright, and love reading, crafting, puzzles and games. Our family enjoys learning about languages, cultures and the natural world. We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). We use structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Our ideal nanny has high emotional intelligence, is calm, patient, caring and understanding with children, particularly during times of high emotions. They value children’s voices and opinions and can support them with co-regulation when needed. They see themselves as more than a babysitter, take pride in their important position in the lives of children and have open communication with parents. Certificate III or higher in childcare would be desirable.

We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.
