I have a two-year-old boy and a seven month old daughter, my daughter is breast-fed so you’d be mainly helping with my son. I work from home and I’m finding it increasingly difficult to do so while looking after my kids. I’m looking for someone to help me on Mondays from around 9 AM until the afternoon, around two or 3 PM. I am on the fence about whether I need help for Wednesday as well, I was thinking of having someone start on Monday and if my workload is enough I could increase it to Wednesday as well!
We have a Labrador and two cats as well, so you would have to be ok with animals too!
My son is very energetic, I am looking for someone who can match his energy and run and play with him, he really enjoys imaginative play, playing in his sandpit and colouring in too. He still has a day time nap, and requires someone to lie down with him for him to go to sleep. My daughter has just started crawling and eating solids, and loves interaction with people.
If you think we would be a great match please get in touch!
Thanks, Georgia.

NEW! Looking for our next Mary Poppins

Mckinnon, VIC | 4 km

Start Date: 07 Jul 25
Applications Close: 14 Jul 25

Posted by Julia 4 days ago

Job Details: Full-time

$30 per hour

Hi Nannies!

We’re on the hunt for a new Mary Poppins to join our family and care for our three adorable little characters. Sadly, our much-loved nanny has had to leave due to a family emergency — so we’re hoping to find someone just as special.

A bit about us:
• Location: McKinnon/Bentleigh/Ormond (3204)
• Hours: Mostly between 9:30am–4:30/5pm, Monday to Friday
• No weekend, public holiday, or after-hours work
• Three little ones:
- Almost 5yo girl (at kinder 2 days a week – Mon & Wed, starting school next year)
- 3yo girl (starting kinder next year)
- 20-month-old boy (easy-going toddler with a big smile and growing into his own adorable personality)

We think they’re hilarious and delightful little monsters — you’ve been warned!

Our vibe:
The kids are creative, curious and full of energy. They love:
• Arts and crafts, painting, pay dough, dress-ups
• Roleplaying mums & dads, café, etc.
• Parks, playgrounds, pram walks, bike rides, scooting, picnics, collecting leaves and sticks (which stay outside!)
• Puzzles, games, music, dancing and sensory play
• Cars, blocks, magnetic tiles, footy or throwing a ball and dancing!
• We’ve also got two friendly, fluff balls who are part of the family — they’ll want pats too!

Dad works full-time mostly in the office, and I (Mum) mostly work from home — I’ll be around but busy working, available to check in or help when needed.

What we’re looking for in our dream nanny is:
• Not responding to this with an AI generated response (we can tell)
• Warm, fun, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with little ones. Be engaging enough to get the kids comfortable pretty quickly.
• Experienced with multiple children at once
• Experienced with girls e.g. can do girls’ hair, can play pretend makeup, draw, be creative with crafts, etc.
• Professional, punctual, organised, clean, responsible and easy-going (I’m quite OCD with toys being put away in their place and things cleaned properly)
• Confident in the kitchen for preparing kids’ meals/snacks (at a minimum you can scramble eggs, make omelettes, French toast, if not, I’ll be teaching you)
• Able to work around naps (2 kids still nap consistently in the middle of the day)
• Proactive with light household help: e.g., folding laundry, tidying kids’ spaces, unpacking groceries
• Engaged and educational – helping our older two with early literacy, counting, days of the week, etc. and our little one with learning words (no TV plonking)
• Active and hands-on — walks, babycino outings, playgrounds, books, crafts, cubby house builds, etc.
• Skilled with bathtime routines: drying hair, moisturising, managing post-bath chaos!
• Comfortable around friendly dogs

Must-haves:
• WWCC
• Police Check
• First Aid (current)
• Driver’s licence & reliable transport (comfortable driving a larger car to kinder/swimming/etc.)
• Willingness to care for sick kids from time to time
• Generally be awesome with them/don’t turn out to be a psycho kidnapper.

Rate:
Rate is negotiable based on experience. We've been through a few nannies and can now definitely tell when someone clicks with our family.

If you’ve made it this far and found yourself nodding along — we’d love to hear from you!
Please comment with your age, experience, and expected rate, and we’ll be in touch with suitable candidates for next steps.
Looking forward to finding our next superstar!

Hello!

My name is Olivia and I am looking for a nanny to look after our 7 month old twin boys 2 days a week, 8am- 2pm. We are somewhat flexible with days (but ideally it would be Mondays and Wednesdays).

We also have a 2 year old daughter called Sienna and I would be mostly taking her out with me for some one-on-one time while you help with the boys at home.

Your nannying would involve feeding the boys, playing with them and putting them to sleep. I’m looking for someone who is warm, loves kids and is open to learn. I will properly train you before leaving you with the twins as I know not many people have experience with young babies!

The boys are absolutely adorable and we hope to find someone who would be able to help us for some time going forward (and to help with some occasional evening nannying).

I am a local girl, went to St Leonards myself and we live in Brighton and would love someone local too.

Please let me know if you’re interested.
Thank you!!
