We are looking for someone reliable and kind to do the school drop and pick up 4 days per week from term 2 (mid April).

We are in Ferny Creek (near one tree hill picnic grounds) and Kids are 13M at Fairhills in Ferntree Gully and 9F at Rowville Primary.

They are both sweet and well behaved kids who love to feel connected to their carers.

Please reach out to discuss more details if this is of interest.

Hi there,

I’m a single mum of three beautiful kids, currently looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to help with my two youngest daughters (aged 2.5 and 1.5) a couple of evenings each week.

This role is really about supporting our little family so I can spend some one-on-one time with my 7-year-old son, taking him to his footy training and being present for him during this new chapter.

Hours required:

* Tuesdays: 5:30pm – 7:30pm
* Thursdays: 4:30pm – 7:30pm
* Optional: Occasional Saturday (every second weekend) while I play a footy match

What the role involves:

* Assisting with dinner for the girls
* Bath time
* Putting them to bed (they’re usually down by 6pm 😊)
* Relaxing at the house until I return

Once the girls are asleep, it’s a very cruisy role—perfect for someone who enjoys a calm evening environment.

A little about us:
We’ve recently moved to the area, and my son has just started at a new primary school. We’re really focused on building strong community connections through school and sport. He currently plays for Upper Ferntree Gully, and these evenings are important for his confidence and sense of belonging.

I’d also love to return to playing in a women’s footy team myself, but at the moment, I need the right support in place for my girls to make that possible.

Who would suit this role:

* Someone warm, patient, and genuinely enjoys young children
* Confident managing a simple bedtime routine
* Reliable and consistent
* Bonus if you have experience with toddlers

This role would suit a uni student, nanny, or someone local looking for a consistent, low-stress evening position.

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks so much,
Sam

We are looking for somebody to help with morning drop-off (arrive 7:20am - drop to school, 8.50am) every weekday and afternoon pick-up (collect 3.20- we arrive home between 5/6pm) on Tues-Thursday starting on Monday 18th May until the end of term as our current nanny will be travelling overseas. We have two primary school aged girls (10 and 8) travelling between our home on the Warranwood edge of Ringwood and their school in North Ringwood. Our older daughter is 13 and makes her own way to and from school. Preparing school lunches in the morning and some light dinner prep would be helpful. We pay $32 an hour.

Hi Carers. I’m looking for someone to help out with my 8 year old for a few weeks while I recover from surgery.

M-F (or flexible if 2 carers)
8-9am Morning organisation and run to school (15 mins)
3.30-6/7 After school pick up, sports (Mon&Wed) and light household help

I won’t be able to do much, particularly for the first 10 days so will need help with light household duties. Estimating 3-5 hours per day. Can provide car if necessary. I’m open to more than one carer if you can only do certain days. My son is bright and chatty, and ideally we’d like someone interactive and fun, who can also juggle a few chores

We are a conscious family of 4, Mum, Dad and 2 boys. I am about to have another baby in the next few weeks and we are looking for some extra hands to help us during this time. We currently already have an Au Pair so this role would be in addition to other help.
We are looking for help primarily for nighttime routines 4-7pm and Saturday morning swimming class with our 2 boys. We are a little flexible with times and while we can give hours many days a week our affordability is $25 per hour.
Ideally we would have someone with a drivers license (no car required). Some experience would be much appreciated but not essential. We would also want to meet you and introduce you to the kids before we finalise a longer term arrangement.
We are a non smoking household.
Thank you!

Hi, I’m Manoj (dad). We’re a friendly family of four — mum and dad, a 12‑year‑old daughter, and an 8‑year‑old son. I travel frequently for work, and my wife works part‑time on Thursdays and Fridays, so we’re looking for a caring babysitter specifically for those two days.
The role would involve coming to our home around 6:30 am, spending about two hours with the kids, and then dropping our son off at school by 8:30 am (it’s only a 5‑minute drive).
On average, I travel for about two weeks each month, so this won’t be every week — it’s a casual but longer‑term arrangement. We’re happy to pay $35–$40 per hour.
Cheers,
Manoj

We are a friendly family based in Glen Waverley looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to look after our two young children (aged 4 years old girl and 1 year old boy).

This is a regular weekly role on Sundays for 2–3 hours (approximately 2:00–5:00pm). Duties include supervising playtime, engaging the children in age-appropriate activities, and assisting with feeding, as well as ensuring their overall safety and comfort during the session, tidying up, and cleaning after play and eating.

We are looking for someone who is warm, patient, and experienced with young children. Ideally, you will be confident managing both a toddler and a preschooler.

Once the children become comfortable with you, there is potential for additional babysitting sessions during the week or evenings.

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you!

Experienced Nanny/babysitter required to provide care at times for our kids. Mainly the toddlers. We do have a helpful 8 year old that may or may not be there during shifts. Looking for a talented individual to make these sessions fun and magical.

No nappy changing or toilet duties involved. No baths/showers.

We are big on teaching kids consent so please be mindful of personal space.
This is a pet free/smoke free household that is English speaking.
No shoes indoors.

We are after someone to look after our 3 month daughter for an hour or two 3 times a week. Monday , Wednesday and Fridays whilst my wife attends an appointment.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (2). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Monday and Wednesday (10am-1pm (3hrs) starting on a weekly basis from 5 May 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, and making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria). We are currently toilet training her, so you would be expected to help her in this process.

Aria’s naps may be unpredictable, so we are looking for someone also willing to help with basic cleaning/housework if she falls asleep between 10am-1pm.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!
