Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Brunswick East VIC

We’re looking for a fun-loving, responsible and highly reliable baby-sitter to look after our sweet little son who is almost 8 months old. The hours we’re seeking are all day Monday and some casual hours on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday).

My husband and I live in a comfortable, welcoming home located in a convenient and central part of Brunswick.

Hello, my name is Courtney and I'm looking to hire a local babysitter for my son, who is 7 years old.
I am about to start a new job which has slightly longer hours than we’re used to, so we’re looking for someone to help out 2-3 afternoons/evenings per week. We are located in Northcote, near Johnston Park.
Responsibilities will include picking him up from school/after school care and bringing him home - we live a 5 minute walk away from school. From there, it will just be hanging out with him until I get home - light afternoon snack duties but NO dinner prep or other errands required.
Hours would be approximately 3.30pm-6.30pm, 2-3 times a week. Exact hours and days can be worked around the right candidate’s schedule.
Happy to answer any questions if required, look forward to hearing from you!

We're after a nanny/babysitter for our kids on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays evenings 3pm to 7pm for pick-ups, extra-curricular activities, homework help and getting dinner started.

Our kids are 14, 11 and 7, and they're all at different schools at the moment, so the logistics are a big part of where we need help.

Hello!

We’ve recently relocated from the Surf Coast to Melbourne and are looking for a wonderful part-time nanny to become part of our family and help care for our two daughters, aged 4 and 7.

Tuesdays | 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Our eldest will need to be dropped off at school in the morning, after which you'll spend the day with our youngest. We'd love someone who enjoys creating fun, engaging days—whether that's arts and crafts at home, trips to the museum or library, playground adventures, or other age-appropriate activities.

In the afternoon, you'll collect our eldest from school, prepare dinner for the girls, and finish around 5:00 pm.

Thursdays | 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
You'll begin by giving the house a light tidy and preparing dinner for the girls. Once we bring them home from sport, we'd love you to help with dinner, bath time, and the bedtime routine. Thursday is our regular date night, so we'll be home by around 8:00 pm.

We're also likely to offer extra hours to assist with our social schedules on weekend every now and then

We're a friendly family in Coburg looking for a warm, energetic nanny to care for our two children, Henry (5) and Sofia (2) on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:30am–3:30pm, starting 3 August.

We're looking for someone who loves getting out and about and creating fun, active days. We'd love our kids to spend their days exploring playgrounds, museums, the zoo, libraries, bike rides, nature walks and other local adventures. On rainy days, we'd love someone who can keep them entertained with arts and crafts, sensory play, baking, games and imaginative play.

Henry is a curious and creative five-year-old who loves dinosaurs, arts and crafts, riding his bike and discovering new things. Sofia is our little firecracker. She is full of personality, always on the go, and happiest making everyone pretend coffees in her play kitchen.

Sofia still usually has a nap around midday. She doesn't nap well when out, so on most days we'd like her to be home around lunchtime (12-1pm) for her sleep. Occasionally, we're happy for her to skip her nap if there's a special outing planned.

We're looking for someone who is:

* Warm, kind and reliable.
* Active and happy spending lots of time outdoors.
* Confident taking young children on outings.
* Creative and able to keep children engaged at home when the weather isn't great.
* Comfortable preparing simple meals and tidying up after the kids throughout the day.
* Help out with light chores, especially never-ending piles of laundry 😅

We live close to plenty of parks, train station and family-friendly attractions, making it easy to plan fun days out.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!

Hello! We are looking for an experienced nanny to help care for our four children - 2 year old boy/girl twins and 8 year old girl and 10 year old girl.

The role includes dropping and picking up the older two kids off at school in nearby Moonee Ponds, then spending the day with our twins doing whatever keeps you and them entertained!

Kids get up around 0730. Twins have a nap at 12pm for 90mins and go to bed at 1900 (just put them in their cots and they go to sleep), older two girls will just need breakfast and dinner and a reminder to brush their teeth! We're in walking distance of Melbourne Zoo, Brunswick Sydney Road and about 3 parks and a few coffee shops!

The standard day will be 0630 - 1830. We're shift workers so there will often be weeks that you won't be needed for the entire day - we'll pay you fixed hours each week so don't worry you won't lose out. We have a car with all the car seats ready to go and for your use both days and we'll provide food in the fridge for you and the kids. We'll provide a roster 3 months in advance so we can all be organised!

If you'd prefer a wrap around role - 0630 - 0900 / 1530 - 1900 - we can do that too, just reach out and we can have a chat.

If you are able to provide a housekeeper role - let me know!

I'm after a regular sitter for my son, 11. One or two afternoons a week (flexible on which days), about 3.30 to 6.30 or 7pm, plus the occasional weekend.

He's auADHD but he's pretty independent, so it's an easy gig. He's a smart, funny kid who loves gaming and fun facts, and he has a special interest that changes week to week. Chess for a while, then golf, then table tennis, rock climbing, boxing ...you get the picture. You'd want to be someone who's happy to join in on whatever the current thing is.

If you're into gaming or full of random facts yourself, or have a special interest activity you two will get along.

He's been having his afternoons to himself lately and quite likes it, so part of the job is getting him off screens and doing stuff together. He'd game all afternoon if nobody stopped him.

Day to day it's pretty simple: hang out with him, make him some dinner, tidy the kitchen after.

If you've spent time around neurodivergent kids through work, family or your own experience, that's a big plus. He also has NDIS community participation funding, so if you're a qualified support worker or have an ABN activities and outings can be billed at support rates.

I'm a solo parent looking for someone ongoing and reliable, ideally a familiar face he ends up looking forward to.

If that sounds like you, tell me a bit about yourself and what days you're free.

Hello

We are a family in Alphington with 3 children, a 10-year-old girl and two boys, aged 8 and 5. We are looking for a warm, fun and calm nanny to help get our 3 children to school and kinder.

The role is for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7.30-9.30am. Finishing time can be slightly earlier if this impedes other commitments.

If time allows after drop off, some light tidying of the kitchen or hanging out of the washing would be very much appreciated but not expected.

Both school and kinder are a short walk/very short drive from our home.
