Hi,

I'm looking for someone to do school drop offs and pick ups mid July to August for my 2 boys (Moorabbin to Highett) with view to extend if it suits and more flexibility with days/times for the right person beyond August.

Currently I need Wednesday mornings and afternoons and Thursday mornings and afternoons. I leave at 7.45 and the boys need to be at school at 8.30. Pick up is at 3.05 and a parent is usually home between 3.30 and 3.45 (4pm at the latest).

There is the opportunity to extend this if it suits you and long term we can definitely look up mixing days/times ie Wed pick up, Thursday both, Friday drop off, as I have some flexibility with my roster.

Please let me know either way if interested.

Cheers

We are looking for some part-time help with our two children: a 4-year-old boy (who is in kinder) and a 5-month-old baby girl. We also have a 6-year-old Cavoodle - technically our first child!

What we are looking for:
- Current needs: A regular Thursday afternoon/evening shift (approx. 3:00 PM onwards) to help with kinder pickup and the bedtime routine, plus occasional ad-hoc babysitting.
- Future needs: Increased hours from next year when I return to work from parental leave.

Ideally, you would be experienced with:
- Caring for a child and a baby at the same time
- Managing the evening routine (dinner, bath, book, bed) and caring for an infant (settling, bottles, nappies)
- Driving our family car (equipped with child seats) for the kinder pickup.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we would love to arrange a quick meet-and-greet!

Before getting started, we do just require a current Working with Children Check (WWCC), references, and an up-to-date whooping cough

Hi 😊

I’m looking for a part-time babysitter to help care for my 20-month-old daughter.
I’m hoping to find someone who is caring, responsible, and comfortable with toddler care. Previous experience with young children is preferred, but most importantly, I’m looking for someone who can provide a safe, warm, and loving environment.

Duties include basic childcare such as feeding, playing indoors and outdoors, and diaper changes if needed.

We also have a fully house-trained Labrador retriever, so someone who is comfortable around dogs would be preferred.

If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out. Thank you!

Hi. We are a family of 5 living in Sandringham. We are exploring options for support with drop offs and collections on Mondays and Thursdays.

This will primarily be for our two school age children, but may occasionally also include our 4year old, who is at kinder locally.

Most sessions this will include taking them home (via activities) and preparing dinner for them.

It is important that you have your own car and ideally have allergy/anaphylaxis training.

Whilst we are looking for regular support we do also sometimes need a little flexibility, as there may be times due to special occasions, end of term, sickness etc. that we prefer to collect the girls ourselves.

If this could be of interest to you then we would love to discuss in more detail. Equally if you may be interested but need more details, please reach out. Thanks. We look forward to hearing from you.

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!

I'm looking for a reliable and caring person to help with my two children, aged 7 and 9.

I'm currently seeking someone to pick them up from Glen Iris Primary School at 3:15 pm on Tuesdays, drive them home, and stay with them until I return from work at around 7:00 pm.

During that time, I'd like someone to supervise them while they complete their homework, prepare a light afternoon snack (such as sliced fruit), and generally keep them company and engaged until I get home.
