Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Curlewis VIC

Hi! I’m Claire, a single mum based in Ocean Grove. I work in mental health education at Barwon Health and travel regularly to Melbourne, which means I’m juggling a lot — and I’d love to find someone special to help make our little world run a bit smoother.
Isla is 7 — she’s creative, beach-obsessed, and always on the go. Fox is 4 turning 5, full of energy, laughs, and adventure. And then there’s Peaches and Bowie, our two cavalier King Charles spaniels who think they’re part of every activity!
We’re looking for someone warm, bubbly, and reliable to help with school runs Mon–Fri, with full days on Tuesdays and possibly Mondays too. There are also regular opportunities for overnights and late evenings when I’m travelling for work. We’re also happy to consider live-in arrangements — whether that’s 4, 5, or 7 days per week, or set hours that work for both of us.
More than anything, we want someone who feels like part of the family — someone who loves getting out and about, heading to the park or the beach, and is happy to just be present and engaged with the kids. No cleaning expected, just encouraging the kids to pick up after themselves. Cooking skills are a bonus but not a must.
Happy to negotiate a great rate for the right fit — we just want someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids and brings good energy into our home. 😊

Hi there -
My husband and I are looking for a nanny/babysitter who can predominantly care for our 7 month old on Wednesday mornings from approx 8:30am to 11am.

We also have a 2 year old and would love to develop a trusting relationship with a babysitter to be able to call on at times of need, given we have no family local to our area.

On our desired Wednesdays, some light housework would be ideal but not essential. Our 7month old is likely to have a nap during this time and therefore some general tidying would be greatly appreciated.

References desirable and previous experience essential.

Agreed rate negotiable dependent on experience, qualifications and willingness to complete light housework.

Thank you!

We are a family of 5, with 3 lively preschool-aged children who keep us on our toes! Our family is looking for a caring and experienced babysitter or nanny who can provide a nurturing environment for our creative, friendly, and curious little ones two days a week. We'd love someone who is comfortable with cooking, doing light chores, and assisting with homework. As a multilingual household, we'd appreciate if you speak both Chinese, Japanese and English. Please feel free to reach out if you have the skills and availability to join our vibrant family!
