Looking for an English-speaking nanny for my 9-year-old son.

My son is Russian and has just started school in Melbourne. He speaks very little English, so I’m looking for someone to help him learn to understand and speak English through everyday communication.

After school, spend time with him: go for walks, play, talk, read, do simple activities, or cook together.

He is an active, kind boy who loves soccer, badminton, running, climbing, cooking, and helping in the kitchen.

If you have experience with children and enjoy spending time with them, please send me a message.



Thanks, Anya!

We’re a warm, caring family looking for a nanny to join our weekly routine. We have two young children — an energetic and curious 2-year-old and a newborn.

The role will mainly focus on caring for our toddler, who loves trips to the playground, attending classes (e.g. Gymbaroo), and hands-on activities such as crafts and cooking. Our toddler attends weekly physio and OT sessions for mild cerebral palsy, so we’re looking for someone patient, supportive, and encouraging as he builds his skills and confidence.

Mum will usually be home caring for the newborn, and occasionally you may help with the baby so Mum can take the toddler to appointments.

Hours:
Part-time, Monday to Thursday, 7:30am–2:30pm

What we’re looking for:
A warm, reliable, and proactive nanny who enjoys spending time with toddlers and keeping them engaged through fun, stimulating activities. Someone who is happy getting out of the house as well as being creative with play at home (e.g. arts & craft, cooking together etc.). Experience with young children is important; experience with newborns or additional needs is a bonus but not essential.

Duties include:
- Caring for and engaging our toddler
- Preparing and serving breakfast, lunch, and snacks
- Planning fun, age-appropriate activities (crafts, cooking, play-based learning)
- Taking our toddler to parks, playgrounds, and classes
- Supporting development through play
- Helping with the newborn when needed

Light household tasks:
- Laundry (washing and folding)
- Dishes and general kitchen tidy-up
- Cleaning up after meals, meal prepping
- Tidying play areas

We’re looking for someone who takes initiative, keeps our toddler active and engaged, and helps our home run smoothly during the day.

Hi,
We are looking for a babysitter for after school pickups Mondays and Thursdays, including taking the kids to and from activities.
We live in Surrey Hills and have 3 kids, in grades 2, 4 and year 7. Babysitting will be primarily for our primary school aged boys, who do basketball and swimming, and we’re also looking for the evening meal to be prepared (and served to the kids if needed, depending on the time) - these won’t be gourmet and we’ll leave instructions!
Generally hours would be from school pickup to about 6/6.30pm, but where needed we can flex as hopefully could you.
If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch, I’d be happy to have a chat and answer any questions.
Thanks very much,
Stephanie

I'm looking for someone to look after my two boys every Monday, in our home, 8:30-5 or could be a bit flexible shifting the time around to suit. They are currently at daycare/kinder. There would be the option to add some hours from time to time on a Thursday/Friday. The Monday will be needed until end of year. In 2027 Hugos kinder days would change so the full day needed will probably change to a Wednesday (ok if this role only suits you this year).

Arlo is 19 months and Hugo recently turned 4. Coming into the warmer months will be lots of fun. Arlo sleeps 1-1.5 hours and is a very happy boy, easily settled. We have a play room and basketball court so there's heaps of space for activities. I'm looking for someone that wants to play with the boys. They are well mannered, love to sing, dance, read books, draw and most of all be outside. Hugo will be on his bike a lot if he can, and is a great communicator.

Please reach out, would love to chat and see if we can make this the right fit. Start date flexible, and of course can work around your holidays, uni commitments etc.
