Handling baby
General house help
I am after more of a helping hand rather than Babysitting however you will need to be confident to handle a 7 week old baby.

Interested in after school care for 2 primary school boys - to assist with pick up from school (less than 500m from home) and some assistance with reading/home work (roughly 2 to 3 hours each day, two to 3 days a week with some occasional extra days). Also include taking one of the boys to the guitar lessons one day a week (nearby but will require driving). Hours and rate negotiable (e.g. quality of care etc).

Hi nannies and babysitters!

Looking for someone to look after our 13 month old son, Teddy, for 1 day per week (7 hours) from our home in Kingsville. I work from home.

Any day of the week would suit - when you reach out, indicate what day of the week you'd prefer to work.
Start date is also flexible but we'd prefer to have someone by the end of the year.

Your responsibilities:
- Keep Teddy safe, fed, clean (enough), and entertained. Put him down for naps. Prepare some food for him and yourself.
- Go on walks to local parks or playgrounds, do activities like music or art or baking, reading books etc.

About you:
- You're calm, curious, responsible and responsive to Teddy's needs.

About us:
- We both work for non-profits and spend a lot of time thinking about how Australians can contribute to the world's most pressing problems.
- We like the Montessori-style parenting but don't take it too seriously.
- I was once an au-pair in Italy... so I understand what the babysitter/nanny life is like 😄
- 1 cute, independent cat in the household
- Mostly plant-based diet

Hi. We are based in Melton South and looking for a reliable and experienced nanny for our 3 year old boy, 3 days a week preferably Wednesday to Friday, from 3pm to 6pm.

We would like someone who is comfortable organising activities, assist with mealtimes, tidy afterwards, visit to park and help with light housekeeping such as tidying playroom and kid’s laundry

Hi There,

We are a family of 4 (plus a small Shiba Inu) in Altona North looking to find a reliable babysitter nearby who has a car, and can look after our two children (Harper and Wolf)

Harper is 7 and in Grade 2, and Wolf is in daycare Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I work full-time from home, and my partner Jasmin does full-time work at ANZ on changing shifts (sometimes 9-6, 10 - 7, 11-8 etc) and I need to travel for work sporadically, or there are times we simply need to be able to get out for a night.

We are looking to find someone who is able to look after them flexibly - i.e. if I need to go away for a week to the US to look after them 6am - 9:30am and get them to school / daycare, or look after Wolf through the days and pick up Harper and look after them until Jasmin returns home at the end of the day.

We are hoping that someone would be available next week:

Monday 10th - 11th of October

Arrive 6am both days

Drop kids at school / daycare at 9/9:30

Pick up Kids 3:15/3:30

Look after them 3:30 - 8/9:00pm

Will likely change depending on Jasmin’s availability

Can provide car set for Wolf

Will store and provide food for kids for dinner in addition to anything else

If this works out, we would be looking at a week later in October and to start sporadic planning as required.

Feel free to give me a call on 0480 346 330 - would be good to arrange a meeting with Jasmin prior to us approving and let us know if this is something you can do.

Many thanks,

Karl

I am a single mum that works full time who is in need of help with school/daycare drop offs, some mornings when I have to leave early for work.

We are a family with 3 boys aged 2, 5 and 6 based in Eltham North looking for help two or three days a weeks for school drop offs and pick ups as well as caring for our 2 year old during the day and 5 and 6 year old after school.

Nos deux enfants, Isidore (7 ans) et Artémis (4 ans), sont des enfants australiens bilingues. Ce sont des enfants assez sages qui adorent lire, dessiner, et qui regardent très peu les écrans. Ils ont fait 6 mois d’école en France en 2024, et nous habitons actuellement à Fitzroy.

Nous cherchons une babysitteuse française ou francophone qui peut garder les enfants lundi, mardi et/ou mercredi de 15h à 18h, c'est à dire:
- chercher les enfants a l'école et kindergarten (à North Fitzroy et pas loin loin de l'autre)
- déposer les enfants à des activités (judo et cours de piano, à Abbotsford et chez nous à Fitzroy)
- cuisiner un repas simple du soir certains jours

Les voyages se feront idéalement en utilisant votre propre voiture. Nous n'avons pas de voiture - par contre nous avons un vélo cargo electrique qui peut etre utilisé si la babysitteuse est très expérimentée avec les vélos.

En tout cas nous cherchons quelqu'un qui peut aider les enfants à continuer de parler et lire en français. Ça serait idéale pour quelqu’un qui aime les langages et les livres.

Merci et n’hésitez pas à nous contacter par la messagerie ici si vous etes disponibles pour une, deux, ou trois apres-midis par semaine

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for taking a look at our job! We have three children aged 11, 9, and 4, and we’re looking for someone to help one evening a week, a few hours during the day on another day, and occasionally on weekends.

Our wonderful previous babysitter has just started a full-time job, so we’re hoping to find someone new to join our family routine. We’ve had such lovely experiences with babysitters and au pairs over the years and really value the warmth and care they bring into our home.

It would be great if you could also help with some light household chores or cooking, especially if that’s something you enjoy.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Franziska

Hello!

We are on the hunt for a nanny/babysitter to assist our family of 4 (+ Gus our Hungarian Vizsla) in Albert Park, to commence in a few weeks. We would like this to be ongoing/permanent for the next 6-12 months (with a break for around a month at Christmas time).

The days/hours we are looking for:
Thursdays 8-12
Fridays 8-12

Occasionally these days may change and/ or we would love to give additional hours during the week/weekend when required.

We are super keen to have somebody the kids have become familiar with that we can call upon other than family when needed.

We have Ned (22 month old) and Pippa (8 weeks old).

Care would mainly be for our newborn Pippa and would for the most part be feeding, settling, napping, changing, floor time etc.
Occasionally care for both Ned and Pippa.

This will allow me to drop Ned to daycare/attend appointments/catch up on work etc, so I would be in and out of the house during these hours.

During nap times some light house duties (tidying up, washing bottles etc) would be expected.

Midwife, nursing or childcare background highly regarded.

Drop off and or pick up child from school

We are a family in Preston with a 3yo boy and 9yo girl. My wife and I are looking for mainly help with pickups and dropoffs from childcare and before/after school care, core days Wednesday and Thursday but most weeks will need additional days esp Tuesday. Drop offs approx 7.30-8.30, pickups 4.30-6.30. Please let me know if you are available and we can discuss further.

We’re looking for a warm and reliable babysitter to help me with our three children (aged 4, 2 and a newborn) during the busy dinner, bath, and bedtime period.

The role also includes light household support such as tidying up after meals / help cleaning up.

The role will be casual/ad hoc at first (to cover when my husband is working late or travelling), with the idea to develop into regular part-time hours once things settle into routine.

If you’re experienced with young children, confident managing the evening juggle, and happy to help out with some household tasks, we would love to hear from you.

📍 Location: Abbotsford
⏰ Hours: Afternoons/evenings (approx. 3-7pm or 4.8pm), ad hoc to start
👶 Ages: 4, 2 & newborn (2 girls and one newborn tbc!)
