Casual Babysitter Needed – Tuesdays to Fridays (Daytime)
Location: Knoxfield
Hi! I’m looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to help me a few hours a day while I work from home.
Days: Tuesday to Friday

Kids:
2-year-old (naps during most of this time)

My 4-year-old is only home on Wednesdays and Fridays
This is a pretty relaxed role – most of the time you’ll be caring for one or two sleeping children. I’ll be home working, or at the office just 5 mins away so just need someone to be a calm and loving presence in the house while I get a few hours in.
Ideally if I can find someone for a permanent day and then adhoc for other days for me
Perfect for someone local, responsible, and great with little ones.
Please get in touch if this sounds like a good fit!

Currently she arrive at our house at midday, folds and puts away laundry, cooks dinner and does some general tidying or household errands. She then either picks the kids up from school if they are to be taken to sports or waits for them to get home on the bus and looks after them until I get home (between 5.30 and 7pm). If she is there later she will give the kids dinner. There is some variable driving depending on afterschool activities as well as helping with readers and homework. We are looking for someone who is happy to do this as an ongoing part time job. We are away at times during school holidays but often there is even more work available on the holidays as the kids are off school. We would like someone who is reliable and trustworthy and we would like references and to meet for interview prior to offering the position. We would like someone who is firm with the kids but also knows how to engage and have fun with them. Our youngest is 6 and our oldest 12yo.

Hi everyone! My husband Rob and toddler Louis have just moved from Camberwell to Sandringham for a lovely sea change.
Louis has been in occasional care since he was 6 months old for a few days a week. This will come to an end on Wednesday and he will be at home with me for the remainder of the year until he starts kindergarten 2026 in Sandringham. He’s a lovely boyo, shy at first but once he’s familiar with you he’s a lot of fun (and a vey good sleeper)
I will need some help with appointments/classes that I can’t take Louis to (he’s 3 1/2). I have a regular Pilates class and would like to increase that if possible to twice a week (Nail appts/hair cuts/big supermarket shops etc) I’m looking for someone who I can liaise with (with lots of pre-warning) for things that pop up in my diary - even some date nights for my husband and I. Some jobs may be 3 hours required and some possibly 6 hour care. Please let me know if it sounds like something that interests you. We are very flexible and happy to pay cash if you’d prefer :)
