Looking for a regular/ad-hoc babysitter - Toorak

We are looking for a semi regular babysitter ( date nights & occasional extra support) who can build a relationship with our 2 kids.

The kids are 16 months and 3. They both attend childcare and are used to nanny's so are good with being away from us, we just want someone who’s willing to do some short sessions with them to build rapport before falling into a regular pattern.

Must have all the usual requirements (WWC, first aid etc).

We are looking for a kind, reliable and energetic babysitter/nanny to help care for our three children (ages 10, 8 and 6) after school in Brighton.

The role is approximately 3 hours per afternoon, Monday to Friday, and would suit someone who enjoys spending time with school-aged children. Duties include school pick-up, taking the children to after-school activities, helping with homework/readers when needed, preparing a simple afternoon snack or meal, and keeping the children’s spaces tidy.

We are looking for someone responsible, engaging and organised who can become a trusted part of our family’s routine. A driver’s licence and reliable car are required.

Experience with children is preferred, but the most important qualities are reliability, warmth and a genuine enjoyment of caring for kids.

Nanny wanted — Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 9am–5pm — starting early February 2027.

We’re a young family in Brighton looking for a warm, reliable nanny to join us three days a week from the start of February.

You’d mainly be caring for our one-year-old — a happy, easygoing little one who’s a genuine delight to be around. Our three-year-old may also be home one day (subject to daycare availability), so at times it’d be both of them together.

These three days line up with the days one of us works part-time; the other works full-time. On most of them, one of us will be home working from home — so there’s a hand nearby if it’s ever truly needed.

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. There may be some flexibility for the right person.

Rate: $30 (happy to pay cash)

Driving: Licence required but not expected to pick up any kids from daycare etc

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear a bit about you and have a chat. Thanks!
