Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Cairnlea VIC

Hi!

We’re a warm, easy-going family in Burnside Heights looking for a caring, reliable nanny to become an important part of our daughter’s life.

Our daughter will celebrate her first birthday in February, and we’re hoping to find someone who will become a trusted part of her world as she grows through these precious early years.

The Role
Location: Burnside Heights
Day: Preferably Friday, although there is some flexibility as we’re currently finalising our work schedules.
Hours: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (10 guaranteed paid hours)

I’m planning to return to work one day per week from November, and we’d love to arrange a few casual sessions throughout October so everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other before regular care begins.

What our days look like

We love spending time:
* Library story time
* Local playgroups
* Parks and nature walks
* Reading books
* Music and singing
* Sensory and creative play
* Learning through everyday experiences

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being present with children, following their interests and creating a fun, nurturing day.

Your role

* Providing warm, responsive care for our daughter
* Preparing and serving her meals and snacks
* Following her sleep routine
* Drying and putting away her clothes
* If you’re comfortable with dogs, taking our friendly Cavoodle for a short walk with the pram

There is no general housework expected. We simply ask that our daughter’s needs come first and that you enjoy spending quality time together.

About us
We’re a warm, mixed ethnicity Etheiopian-Welsh family. Mum is a Maternal & Child Health Nurse and Dad is a Physiotherapist, and we both have a strong interest in children’s health, development and wellbeing.

We value responsive, relationship-based care and see this as a partnership. We’d love to find someone who feels comfortable in our home and genuinely enjoys becoming part of our daughter’s world.

Please make yourself at home while you’re here. Help yourself to tea, coffee and lunch, and if you’re out enjoying story time, the park or a local café with our daughter, we’d love you to grab a coffee or a little treat while you’re out together, our shout.

Although the role is until 6:00 pm, we’ll often be home between 5:15-5:45pm, and if we’re home early, you’re welcome to finish then while still being paid until 6:00 pm.

What we’re looking for
* Warm, kind and patient
* Reliable and trustworthy
* Genuinely passionate about working with young children
* Great communication skills
* Current Working With Children Check
* Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
* Driver’s licence

Pay
* $28–30 per hour, depending on experience
* 10 guaranteed paid hours each week
* Regular pay reviews as the role develops

We’re not simply looking for someone to watch our daughter while we’re at work. We’re hoping to find a kind, dependable person who becomes a trusted part of her world—someone she feels excited to see each week, and someone who genuinely enjoys watching her learn, grow and discover the world.

If this sounds like the kind of role you’d love, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your experience, your current work or study, and what draws you to working with young children.

We look forward to meeting you!

She needs personal support with her everyday activities like eating, dressing, toileting and getting around the community.

Hi all, we are looking for a special someone to help us out after school every day. We are a family of 5 (with a dog) living in Flemington. We have two sons (13 and 11) and a daughter that is 8. They will all be at school in the city and so we would like someone to collect our daughter from school and bring them home or to their after school activities- currently netball and football. We’d also like you to help them with their homework and prepare dinner for the five of us. Also to clean their rooms and prepare school lunches. And have a lot of fun with them! We would also like you to do occasional extra work (weekends) if you were available.

Babysitter needed to watch 1 year old daughter for a couple days a week. Located in deanside. One parent will be home to help out with anything baby related.

Take care of my toddler Penelope (birthday 31/07/24) on any 3-4 weekdays per week for a limited period of time - 10 August until 11 September. Start and end times up for discussion, but preferred candidates will be available from 8:30am until 7pm. At our Moonee Ponds house.

Must like dogs - we have a cavoodle.

Penelope's middle-of-day nap is usually 2 hours-long. Household chores during this time eg vacuum/mop, laundry, cleaning up after meals, getting Penelope's next meal ready.

Flexibility is key because I may need more support (longer/extra days) if my husband is working late. Also flexibility in terms of juggling new baby and Penelope with me.

Must have an updated vaccination for whooping cough (pertussis).

If you are interested, please respond to this ad and include the following: whether you are available for at least 3-4 days per week, a little about yourself and your experiences in nanny positions, where in Melbourne you live and your phone number. I would love to give you a call and chat to 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!

Looking for someone reliable, experienced with young children who is nurturing, attentive, and enjoys engaging in play, walks, and supporting development.

One parent will be working from home, so someone comfortable with that setup is important.

We are looking for before and after school care for our three children (9, 7 and 2) - we are flexible on days but would like Tuesday and Wednesday at a minimum if possible.

Pick up is of our eldest ftom school then our youngest from daycare - both walking distance from our home. We have two little girls, our eldest is 6 years old and our youngest is 3.
