Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Cairnlea VIC

We are a family that lives in St Albans and are looking for a babysitter/nanny to help care for our children. We have two boys aged nearly 3, and 5, with limited family support. They are beautiful energetic little beings, very active and fun to be around. Our older boy is very sensitive and likely neurodiverse, and can struggle to be separate from us (his parents), and to regulate his emotions, which often shows up as jealousy towards his younger brother, which can be hard to manage at times.
We try to spend as much connected 1:1 time with each of them and together as a family, but often neglect domestic tasks and life admin, which is becoming a problem.
Our hope is to introduce a regular babysitter/nanny to them, who can build a trusting relationship, and get to know them, initially at home, to allow us to attend to other tasks/ chores, and in time, to go out with them.
They love being outdoors (we have a big garden) and we spend as much time in nature as we can- they love playgrounds and the skate park. We try to minimise screen time, and they enjoy books, puzzles, jigsaws, as well as bikes, scooters, trampolines etc.
We are hoping for a babysitter/ nanny on a Saturday or Sunday, every fortnight for 3-4 hours. We would love the odd evening out together, and next year our older boy starts school, and will likely need a babysitter/nanny to pick him up from school (local) and care for him between 3pm- 5pm a few days a week. So flexibility is a bonus.
If this sounds like a family you would be interested in working with, please get in touch.
We are flexible, reasonable people, and anything is negotiable for the right person.

8.30am- 11am
Light cleaning duties
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.

We are looking for someone friendly, reliable and responsible who genuinely enjoys helping a busy household stay organised & loves kids 💛
Long term on going role, includes school pick ups, errands, household duties etc.

We’re looking for a fun, caring and energetic nanny to look after our little boy, Levi (2 years old), one day a week from 8am–4pm. Tuesday preferred.

We’d love someone who:
• Enjoys spending time with toddlers
• Can plan fun and engaging activities
• Is warm, patient and reliable
• Has a Working With Children Check and First Aid Certificate

I work from home, so I’ll be around if you ever need a hand, but Levi will be your main focus during the day.

If you love little ones and enjoy creating a playful, caring environment, we’d love to hear from you! 💛

Please send me a quick message with a bit about yourself and your experience.

We could also have more hours and days added as the role evolves. Eg helping out in evenings, weekend babysitting etc as we also have a 4 year old

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 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

We’re looking for a kind, reliable, and proactive nanny/PA to support our family and small business.

The role will be a blend of childcare, light household help, errands, admin tasks, and some studio support.

We’re hoping for around 10 hours per week to start, with potential to grow over time.

Our baby is 20 weeks old, and care will mostly involve play, simple developmental activities, short local outings, and helping with naps. I’ll usually be nearby working from home or workplace.

We’re based between Bellfield and Brunswick, and the role will sometimes be at our home and other times at my work.

We’re looking for someone who is warm, organised, and enjoys working around both children and a creative, community-oriented environment.

Baby sitter for 8 month baby based in point cook

Hi! We are looking for a regular babysitter for our 5 year old daughter between the hours of 12 and 4pm once or twice a week on Monday, Wednesday and/or Thursday. You will be assisted by our West Highland White Terrier, Mabel. Our daughter has recently been diagnosed with level 2 autism and persistent demand avoidance (PDA). Experience working with neurodiverse children is a must. Thanks Brett & Stephanie

I have a 10 week old and a 2.9 year old. With my baby’s nap schedule I feel like I am not providing full enrichment to my 2.9year old. I am looking for someone to take my daughter (2.9) out of the house for activities on Monday (1.30- 4.00) and Saturday (2.00-4.00).

My daughter is active and outgoing. She loves music, going to the park, library and museum, and riding her scooter.

We are currently located in Brunswick East, but once our renovations are complete we will be in Carlton.

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

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 (8-4 from Feb 2026)
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 (12 weeks old).

Care would mainly be for 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.

We live in Albert Park (near the village) and I need ongoing help with mornings and/or afternoons for my three boys: 7yr old twins and a 3 yr old.
Here are the options:
Mornings 730am - 10am: Getting the boys ready, breakfast, walking to school / daycare
Afternoons 3pm - 7pm : Picking up from school / daycare and taking them to local activities (lessons). Helping with homework and preparing for dinner / showers.
Thursdays - hanging out with my 4yo then picking up the twins from school

Preferred days are: Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays

The ideal candidate should be engaging, energised, organised, calm, disciplined and patient. Whilst drivers license preferred, not necessary as everything is walking distance.

Bonus points if you can help with homework (reading books), play kids games, telling stories and play or understand music.

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’re looking for a caring and reliable nanny to join our family on an ongoing, part-time basis from January 2026. You’ll be looking after our 15-month-old daughter at our home in Thornbury. She’s a cheeky, bubbly little girl whose smile can brighten anyone’s day!

We’re after someone who loves spending time with toddlers and is happy to help create a fun, safe and nurturing environment.

Hours:
• Option 1: Wednesdays and Thursdays, 7:30am – 12:30pm (two 5-hour shifts), or
• Option 2: Thursdays, 7:30am – 4:30pm (one longer shift).
We can be flexible for the right person.

If you think you’d be a great fit, we’d love to hear from you!

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
