Hello, my son turns 5 in April 2026. He is energetic. He starts primary school in Monbulk. We require a carer to pick him up from school (3pm) 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday), take him to Karate (Kilsyth) and or Dance (Ferntree Gully) and then mind him until either myself or wife are home from work (7pm) otherwise care for him at home. There will be the opportunity for casual babysitting from time to time, with notice at sitters discretion.
We're looking for a carer for our daughter who is 14 months old. Business hours on Wednesdays (approx. 8:30am - 5:30pm.) This is an ongoing position - we're looking for consistent care.
The ideal person will be measured and patient, but mostly just has a love for spending time with children and is willing to invest that time developing a connection with our girl, so she feels secure.
We enjoy spending time outdoors, going to story time at the local library or attending other local community activities and it would be great if our carer was willing to do similar things on a Wednesday too.
Experience not necessarily required, we're just looking for the right person. References necessary - your family, friends or previous employers know you and that is important to us.

Hi,
We are looking for a babysitter for after school pickups Monday-Thursday, including taking the kids to and from activities on some days.
We live in Surrey Hills and have 3 kids, going into grades 2, 4 and year 7. Babysitting will be primarily for our primary school aged boys, who do basketball and swimming, and we’re also looking for the evening meal to be prepared (and served to the kids if needed, depending on the time) - these won’t be gourmet and we’ll leave instructions!
Generally hours would be from school pickup to about 6/6.30pm, but where needed we can flex as hopefully could you.
If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch, I’d be happy to have a chat and answer any questions.
Thanks very much,
Stephanie

Hello
My husband, Nick, and I are looking for someone to join our little family to help caring for our 7 month old 5 days a week and our 2.5 year old on one of those days. We are looking for someone to care for baby Wilfred from around 8am to 4/4.30pm. On Thursdays, our lovely 2.5 year old, Max, is home from childcare so you will be looking after both kids that day. We are looking for someone to start in late February.
We are a fun loving family. We had a nanny just leave us to return back to her home - she spent 18months with us and we love her. We are looking for our next nanny to join our family. Our requirements are that you must have experience with young babies, first aid training and working with children’s check.
Hi babysitters!
My name is Sally. I’m searching for a babysitter who can pick up my 5y/o and 9y/o girls from school on ad hoc Wednesday afternoons. The hours would be from around 3.30-5.30pm. We are based in East Malvern (near Chadstone). If you’re interested please get in touch and tell me a bit about yourself, your babysitting experience and rates. Thanks! 😊
We are offering a role that that involves wraparound care (Mon- Fri, mainly school pickup and activities in the afternoon) and Sat mornings approx 9:30am-1:30pm. We expect the chosen candidate to work approx 8-12 h/week.
Our daughter Tessa is 6yo and starting Year 1. She is extremely energetic, loves dancing, singing, swimming, skateboarding and pretending to be an adult. Our nanny needs to be a bit sporty to keep up with her (eg excursions to the zoo, swimming pool, roller blading, ice skating etc). Our son Harry is 7yo and on the Autism spectrum. He is funny, imaginative and attends mainstream school (where he is very cooperative and well-liked) but can be highly inflexible and controlling at home. He likes video games, Harry Potter and haunted / scary themes.
We are seeking a reliable nanny who brings high energy, creativity and patience. A drivers licence and car is required. We LOVE students in early / primary education or allied health!
We do not expect you to care for both children alone for extended periods and will provide appropriate training and support. Due to Harry's tendency to control Tessa, our aim in having a babysitter is to separate the kids on different excursions or supervise specific activities. We need someone who understands that sometimes we agree to unreasonable to demands from Harry at home because he has put in a huge effort to fit in at school. Although we can get extremely frustrated, there is no place for old-fashioned discipline in our house (we try to use a collaborative approach).
We are looking for some extra help with our kids. We need someone to drop and pick up our kids to and from school. Our daughter needs to be dropped off at Grimwade house in Caulfield(7.30am ish) and our son at Melbourne Grammar south Yarra (before 8.30am).
Our son to be picked up at 3.30pm and daughter anytime after 3.30pm (she can go into aftercare if needed).
The job days are roughly one-two weeks a month and maybe some adhoc days if needed.
I am returning to study and will be away from these duties for 1 week at a time and need the extra help. We live in Malvern east .
Is this something you can undertake and help us out?
I’m looking for someone to join my team as a support worker for a beautiful 11 year old boy with Norries Disease who is blind and has autism and an intellectual disability. He is supported after school 3pm-8pm and on weekends and school holidays. Looking for someone who has availability on at least one of the listed weekdays and/or Sundays 10am-3pm or 3pm-8pm. The hours have potential to increase if desired by early next year as one of his current team members will be finishing her degree and moving on. All training and ongoing support is provided by me so no need for prior experience in support work but this is highly regarded. You would need to be mature, nurturing, and to have a passion for working with children and learning new skills as well as the ability to stay calm when child is dysregulated and adapt to ongoing training and feedback. Someone who is either working in or aspiring to work in behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech therapy or physio therapy would be perfect for this role as we work closely with these therapies and integrate goals into what we do with the children on a daily basis. Please note a drivers licence and access to a car is essential for the role. We are looking for someone who can make a long term commitment of at last 1 year and the role requires regular weekly work with the child to be able to work with him on the school holidays so I am not able to accept applicants who are looking for temporary or solely school holiday work. Thank you!
We are seeking a reliable and caring individual to assist with childcare for our youngest child, with some support for our older child once she returns home from childcare.
Details:
• Days: Tuesday
• Hours: Approximately 6 hour per day
• Children:
• Primary care for an 11-month-old
• Occasional assistance with a 2-year-old once she is home from childcare
Requirements:
• All relevant Working With Children checks (mandatory)
• Previous experience in childcare, early learning, or a similar role (preferred)
• Warm, patient, and attentive approach to caring for young children
• Reliable and punctual
Responsibilities:
• Providing attentive care for the 11-month-old

If you have experience with young children and are available on Tuesday, we would love to hear from you.
We are looking for a new regular babysitter/nanny to help support our busy family (two boys aged 5 and 8 - almost 6 and 9).
Across February, we need help on Wednesday's specifically as our youngest will not be attending school as part of prep transition - these dates will be 4th, 18th and 25th. Then after February - we will be looking for someone to assist with drop offs either on a Wednesday or Thursday (depends on my work but happy to commit to a regular day for the right candidate). These hours would be from 6:45am and responsibilities would include helping get boys ready for school including helping with breakfast, walking to school and a bit of a cleanup eg. stacking dishwasher etc after drop off. We'd pay for the full 3 hours but realistically you would be done by 9:30am. We are walking distance from the school so it is a nice and easy drop off. Beyond this commitment, we have weekends pop up pretty regularly as well.
We have a fairly relaxed routine and really are just looking for someone to connect with the boys and make the mornings fun. On the Wednesdays with our youngest, we expect he will be pretty exhausted starting prep, so it might be a quiet day at home with games and puzzles or potentially a visit to the park. You will have access to our car if required, a lot is within walking distance.
We've found some beautiful babysitters that have become really important part of our family so hoping to find someone else fabulous and local that can help our family navigate the juggle.
