Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Brunswick West VIC

I’m a single mother with a lively two and a half year old and an energetic 6 year old. I’m looking for some help on school/work mornings to help us get dressed, eat breakie and out the door etc. !

We are on the hunt for a wonderful nanny to help our growing family.
We are in Coburg and have 2 girls - Iris will be 2 next month and Lola is 3 months. We are looking for an ongoing nanny for Tuesdays immediate start, casual days and nights, and potential of increased days next year and beyond.

I’m looking for a warm, reliable and experienced part-time nanny for my two boys, aged 7 and 4, in Fitzroy North.

My older son has autism and ADHD, so I’m particularly keen to find someone with genuine hands-on experience supporting neurodivergent children. It would be wonderful to find someone who understands sensory needs, emotional regulation and transitions, and can provide calm, consistent and positive support.

The role involves caring for both boys, with additional support for my older son, and helping create a settled, enjoyable routine for the children. I’m hoping to find someone who would like to become a trusted, long-term part of our family. It would start with weekend work and hopefully move to after school and school holiday care from term 1 next year.

I’m open to a nanny with a background in early childhood education, disability support or professional nannying, provided they have relevant experience and a warm, neurodiversity-affirming approach.

We have an approximate budget of $35–$45 per hour, depending on experience and the arrangement.

Looking for a fun, reliable, creative, hardworking and honest babysitter for afternoon school pick ups, to engage and play with our 9 year old daughter or take to specialist classes - Ballet, Basketball, Swimming.

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8-year-old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

Looking for somebody to start ASAP, which can involve picking daughter up from Fitzroy North Primary or her extracurricular classes, when she finishes and watching her during the evening. Looking for somebody to begin next week, and for afternoons/evenings concentrated from mid Oct through Nov 5th. This role is more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live. Pls respond with availability. Happy to arrange a paid trial first.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

🌴 Job Opportunity: Native English or Spanish Teacher – One Year in Florianópolis, Brazil
Imagine spending a year living by the beach on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, while making a real difference in the lives of two wonderful children.
The role:
We’re looking for a native English or Spanish speaker to provide bilingual home-based education for our two children, ages 5 and 6. They are sweet, curious, and exceptionally bright. We’d love someone who blends teaching with warmth, bringing the language to life through play, stories, music, nature, and everyday activities.
What we offer
∙ Free accommodation in a newly renovated studio on the beach, close to our home
∙ A competitive salary, to be discussed

About Florianópolis
Known as the “Ilha da Magia” (Island of Magic), Florianópolis is the capital of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. The island has more than 40 beaches, from calm turquoise bays to world-class surf spots. You’ll also find lagoons, sand dunes, Atlantic Forest trails, and charming fishing villages with Azorean heritage.
It consistently ranks among Brazil’s cities with the highest quality of life. It is safe by Brazilian standards and has a thriving international community of digital nomads, surfers, and expats. The food scene is fantastic, especially the oysters, which are among the best in the country. From June to November, southern right whales visit the coast.
Why a year in Brazil?
Living abroad for a year is about more than adding a line to your CV. It’s a life-changing experience. Brazil is warm, joyful, and full of life, with music, festivals, football, and a culture built around connection and hospitality. You’ll become fluent in Portuguese, form lasting friendships, and see the world, and yourself, through a new lens. Employers and universities increasingly value this kind of intercultural experience, adaptability, and independence.
