Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Cheltenham VIC

Hands-On Father’s Helper / Afternoon & Morning Caregiver Needed for Two Young Girls

I am a newly separated dad looking for an energetic, reliable, and nurturing caregiver to team up with me as I transition into solo parenting. I have two beautiful, young daughters (3 years old and 16 months old).
This is a collaborative role—I will be there and fully involved. I am not looking to hand the kids over and walk away; I need someone trusted to help me with the busiest parts of our day so both girls get the attention they need.
Key Responsibilities:
• The Afternoon/Night Routine: Helping navigate the "witching hour," dinner prep, bath time, and splitting bedtime duties (e.g., settling the toddler while I put the baby down, or vice versa).
• The Morning Routine: Arriving early to help get both girls fed, dressed, and packed up ready for daycare.
• Outings & Activities: Accompanying us on weekend or afternoon trips to the park, play centres, or activities to make managing two under three much smoother.
• Light Help: Basic tidying up after meals or clearing up toys with the girls.
Hours & Flexibility:
• Part-time: Up to 3 days per week (flexible on which days, but will include some weekdays and potentially a weekend day).
• Split Shifts/Hours: Ideally looking for someone who can do an afternoon/evening block (e.g., 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM) and/or an early morning block (e.g., 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM).
• On-Call / Flexibility: High preference for someone with a flexible schedule who is open to occasional on-call help or schedule adjustments as we find our rhythm.
Ideal Candidate:
• Experienced with toddlers and babies (experience with multiple young children at once is a huge plus).
• Calm under pressure, proactive, and happy to work collaboratively alongside a parent.
• Must have a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) and First Aid/CPR training.
• Reliable transport is essential.
If you are a warm, capable person who loves working with young kids and wants to help a dad build a smooth, happy routine for his girls, please get in touch!

We’re looking for a lovely, reliable nanny to help with our 3-year-old daughter two evenings per week.

📍 Location: Currently Black Rock, moving to Cheltenham
🕔 Hours: 5pm–7pm, 2 days per week
📅 Start: Flexible

The role would involve picking our daughter up from daycare at around 5pm, bringing her home and looking after her until around 7pm.

Once home, it would mainly involve playing with her, helping with dinner, bath time and getting her ready for bed.

She’s a happy, chatty 3-year-old who loves books, singing and playing.

We’re looking for someone warm, caring and reliable who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children. Previous experience with toddlers/preschoolers is important, and references would be preferred.

As daycare pickup is involved, you’ll need a driver’s licence and reliable car.

There may also be opportunities for additional babysitting from time to time.

Please send me a message with a little about yourself, your experience, availability and hourly rate if you’re interested. 😊

We are looking for a fun, engaging caregiver to come over around 3pm, prepare dinner, pick up Archie (2) and Aria (6 months) from daycare in Beaumaris, bring them home, feed them and help with their evening routine. Archie’s bedtime is 7pm. Both children are happy and easy-going. Archie loves being outdoors, riding his bike, kicking the ball and playing golf. We live just a 5-minute walk from daycare.

Hi, I’m a solo mum of twin 6-year-old boys based in Beaumaris. I’m looking for some regular help with after-school pick-ups from Camberwell Primary School and bringing the boys home to Beaumaris, ideally a couple of afternoons each week during the school term.

I’m looking for someone warm, relaxed and confident with kids who would enjoy getting to know the boys and becoming a regular part of their routine. They’re energetic, funny and affectionate, and speak both French and English, so French would be a huge bonus (but definitely not essential).

You’ll need your own reliable car and to be comfortable with the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. I can provide booster seats.

Reliability and consistency are important, as I plan my work commitments around the school pick-ups. I’m ideally looking for someone who can commit on an ongoing basis rather than just for a few weeks.

There may also be opportunities for additional babysitting or extra hours from time to time if you’re interested.

Rate is negotiable depending on experience. Please get in touch if this sounds like it might suit you — I’d love to have a chat.

References from other families are required. We looking forward to hearing from you!
