Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Donvale VIC

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 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 looking for a casual babysitter for our sons aged 2.5yrs and 9mths. Initially looking for support during the evening dinner/bath/bed time but in the future require looking after both boys while both parents are out. Friday evening availability is crucial.

We are looking for someone patient and kind but willing to be firm as necessary with our toddler. We enjoy being silly and playing on the floor with our kids so are looking for someone who would be happy to do the same.

You must be okay with dogs. Ideally you will have a car/license or able to arrange your own transport to/from our place.

Rate negotiable- $30-$35

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

Hello

I am reposting my advertisement again :). I have been searching for a nanny for a month now but each one that agrees to help then pulls out so this has been an exhaustive process so far :(.

I have put my spiel below about what I’m looking for and if possible please only reach out if you are looking for longer term and not likely to get another job on a Friday (I appreciate this is not full time work so this could happen) but just a low likelihood would be great. If you reached out before and you still are interested please message me again so I know :)

I am looking for a nanny to help look after my 1 year old daughter on Fridays whilst I work from home. I am looking for this on an ongoing basis and the hours would be 9am-3/4pm.


My daughter is a fun easy going toddler that just wants to play and laugh and looking for someone who is caring and nurturing to have fun and care for her.

If this suits you please reach out.

I am looking for a reliable and responsible part-time babysitter for a weekday school pick-up role.
Start: As soon as possible
Days: Monday to Friday
Time: Between 3:00–4:00 pm

Duties:
Pick up one child from Canterbury Secondary College

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

Permanent Nanny 2 days/wk - Wednesday and Friday (potential to do just Wednesday)
8am - 5pm
8 month old twin girls +/- 2.5 yr old girl

I am looking for a reliable, trustworthy and experienced nanny to look after my three daughters when I go back to work. My twins will be 8 months and eldest 2.5 yrs at this time. My oldest daughter currently attends daycare but I would be looking for her to be home on one of these days.

All my girls are really lovely and would be great company. The twins are really easygoing and tend to follow me around with my oldest. They are sleep trained so the days are quite routine.

During their naps I would expect you to help with light household duties such as folding laundry, washing bottles, loading the dishwasher and tidying up. I would usually have food options pre-prepared but would expect you can put together an easy meal.

Requirements:
- Experience looking after multiple children/babies at once - including changing nappies, feeding bottles and meals.
- WWC, First Aid/CPR, Police Check
- Driving licence optional

$35-45ph negotiable pending on experience and ability to look after 3 children at once.

Please get in touch to discuss further.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic person to help our family 2–3 afternoons per week 3:00–6/6:30pm. Flexible on days.

We are located in camberwell and looking for someone to help out with picking the girls up from school a few days per week and get them home and fed afternoon tea etc. Help with homework and take to after school activities if they have any.
The girls are 8 and 6.
Afternoons but could also do some mornings if available.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Looking for nanny to start mid June for one day a week (8am- 4pm, can discuss flexibility around the day) as an ongoing arrangement which will potentially increase in the future. I have one daughter currently who will be 12 months old in July and I am looking for child care support as well as organisational and household support (cleaning, cooking, washing, tidying).
We are looking for an energetic, organised and engaged individual who appreciates the importance of creative and outdoor play, no screens and a healthy and active lifestyle.
We would love to develop a close relationship with a nanny who could be a wonderful positive supporter of our family over the years to come.

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!

NOTE: Apologies if you have already messaged me and I have not responded: I have reset my membership and unfortunately no longer have access to your message! Please feel free to reach out again!
