I am looking for a reliable, long-term nanny for my four-year-old daughter. She needs to be picked up four afternoons a week. We live in an apartment with on-street parking available, and I’m looking for someone with a car who is comfortable doing pickups and driving her home, for one hour with the flexibility to stay up to three hours if required.

I’m hoping to find someone warm, dependable and experienced who can become a consistent part of her routine.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.

Hello, our names are Anna and Mike, and we live in Fitzroy North. We have two young daughters — Evie (3½) and Juliet (just over one). We are looking for a part‑time nanny to care for them two full days per week while we are working in the city.

The role includes caring for the girls, taking them on local adventures (parks, museums, play activities), preparing their meals, and creating a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment. We’re hoping to find someone who is energetic, kind, and an all‑round legend — someone the girls will genuinely enjoy spending time with.

We would also appreciate some light household assistance, such as tidying up at the end of the day or helping with dinner prep before we get home. Anything that helps keep the household running smoothly is a huge bonus.

The typical workday would be from 8:00am to 5:30/6:00pm, with some flexibility. We can be flexible with days, but ideally we’re looking for Monday and Wednesday, or Monday and Friday. We would also love additional help over the school holidays, when the girls are home more and we may need extra support.

Essentials:

Location: Fitzroy North

Hours: 8:00am – 5:30/6:00pm (flexible)

Requirements: Valid driver’s licence, Working With Children Check, and references

Looking for a nanny for my 2 year old daughter. She doesn’t have any special needs or allergy. I am a stay-at-home mum and looking for someone for 5 hours per day, 2 days a week so I can have some time to myself. I am flexible with the days.

We have a tram stop right in front of our apartment for those taking public transport. We also have secure free parking if you prefer driving. There are lots of outdoor and indoor toddler friendly activities that are within walking distance. Also, our apartment has lots of space and a play room so there will be lots to do on a cold rainy day.

My daughter is very social, curious and creative. She loves exploring outdoor and nature. She loves dancing, reading, colouring, building activities, riding her bike, listening to music and lots of imaginative play.

I am seeking a part-time nanny to care for my two children, a 20 month old girl and 4.5 year old boy. Depending on the day, you may be caring for one or both children.

On a typical week, I'm seeking approx. 8 hours of care. A typical week would be:
- Either Monday or Wednesday: 9:30 am - 12:30 pm (until nap time)
- Thursday: 10 am - 3 pm.
I am flexible with the times if needed and there are opportunities for hours to increase during busy periods, school holidays, etc.
