Hi all,

I’m looking for someone to join my team as a support worker for a beautiful 11 year old boy with Norries Disease who is blind and has autism and an intellectual disability. He is supported after school 3pm-8pm and on weekends and school holidays. Looking for someone who has availability on at least one of the listed weekdays and/or Sundays 10am-3pm or 3pm-8pm. The hours have potential to increase if desired by early next year as one of his current team members will be finishing her degree and moving on. All training and ongoing support is provided by me so no need for prior experience in support work but this is highly regarded. You would need to be mature, nurturing, and to have a passion for working with children and learning new skills as well as the ability to stay calm when child is dysregulated and adapt to ongoing training and feedback. Someone who is either working in or aspiring to work in behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech therapy or physio therapy would be perfect for this role as we work closely with these therapies and integrate goals into what we do with the children on a daily basis. Please note a drivers licence and access to a car is essential for the role. We are looking for someone who can make a long term commitment of at last 1 year and the role requires regular weekly work with the child to be able to work with him on the school holidays so I am not able to accept applicants who are looking for temporary or solely school holiday work. Thank you!

Hello,
I’m seeking a reliable, very calm, and organised nanny to assist with care for my three children on a light, rotating schedule. I’ve attached a one-page calendar example (February–April) to illustrate the typical pattern and assist with availability checks.

Overview
• Children: 3.5 years (daycare), 7 years and 9 years (primary school)
• Locations:
o Residence: East Bentleigh
o School and daycare: Malvern East (close proximity)
• Full driver’s licence required
• A fully insured family vehicle is available for use if preferred, fitted with compliant child restraints

Core Requirement (Non-negotiable)
• Thursday afternoon, 3:00–6:00 pm (once every four weeks)

Duties include:
• Collecting the 3.5-year-old from daycare
• Collecting the 7- and 9-year-old from school (staffed pick-up area)
• Caring for the children at home until 6:00 pm

Hi, I'm a solo mother of twin boys based in Beaumaris. I am looking for help with picking up (or taking) my children from school in Camberwell each day. This will be a couple of hours a day, at least 4 days each week during the school term, starting March 2026. However, it's important that you forge a strong relationship with my kids, so I would be interested in you starting sooner on a less frequent basis, if that's of interest.

The boys speak French and English. Ideally, if you speak French that would be a huge bonus.
Looking for someone who doesn't get overly stressed about typical kid stuff, and doesn't mind the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. You must have your own vehicle and be happy having booster seats in the car when you drive them. Most likely looking for your help in the afternoons, Monday through Thursday, potentially eventually Friday mornings, too.

Needing someone reliable - this is key. If you can't commit for the full 2026 academic year then please don't apply - my kids will become attached to you (and I will need your support).

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this far! Hope to hear from you. Rate negotiable depending upon experience.

Looking for a nanny/ babysitter on Friday afternoons to look after our 3.5 yr old plus occasional evening babysitting.

I am due to have another baby soon and need assistance with our 3.5 yr old child, looking after and entertaining her. She is an energetic girl and afternoons would be spent taking her to the park, playing games, baking with her etc. Mainly doing the fun stuff but still a bit of light cleaning up after meal times and tidying toys etc. (Maybe occasional folding and loading/ unloading dishwasher).

We also have a 2 year old Golden Retriever so must love dogs!

We would also require someone who could do occasional evening or weekend daytime babysitting.

On top of this, (although we don’t have a holiday currently booked due to our pending arrival of baby #2), our family loves to travel so we would be looking for someone who could accompany us on (mainly) overseas holidays to look after the kids and be a spare set of hands. We would discuss how these trips would work in further detail in person.

Overall, we are seeking someone responsible, reliable, energetic, who takes initiative, is proactive and adaptable.

As well as this, you will have experience working with young children, current WWC and first aid training.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there 😊
My name is Sarah and I’m a mum to three lovely girls aged 9, 10 and 13. I work casually as a nurse and pathology collector and I’m currently looking for a local babysitter/carer who is responsible, reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

The main care I’m seeking is before-school care, which would involve:
• Arriving at our home by 6:40am
• Morning supervision and light routine support
• Leaving the house at 8:25am
• Completing a school drop-off at 8:45am

This would be required on Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings.

In addition, I’m also looking for availability on Sundays, which would be a longer shift (approximately 6:45am–2:45pm). This day would be capped at an agreed flat rate, rather than paid hourly.

I’m ideally looking for someone who is:
• dependable and punctual
• calm, positive and patient
• confident with school-aged children
• interested in building an ongoing, consistent arrangement

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to hear from you and chat further.
