Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Elsternwick VIC

We have two children, Ria who is 2 and Petros who is 1.

We are seeking a nanny who speaks fluent Greek. Ria, will also be starting half day kinder in January, 3 days per week, so your time will sometimes be with one child, and other times with both of them. The kids are both in a very good routine with their meals and naps, so our primary objective is for our nanny to maintain their routine and engage in meaningful play.

Some cooking and folding washing is terrific too, wherever possible.

We look forward to hearing from you!

We have had a nanny for 10 years now and so we are experienced and committed employers. We are looking for someone who can commit to a longer term role and become part of our family.

While quality childcare is obviously still the priority, as the kids get older we are finding the nanny role involves a mix of childcare and helping us with the kids’ school/kinder/sport logistics and general house keeping.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Looking to interview (either over the phone or in person) in the second half of January.

Thanks very much in advance!

We are looking for a long term nanny (at least a year, although would consider 6 months if you had a lot of flexibility) for a 3 and 5 year old. They will both attend kinder and school next year 8:30-3:15 so the job involves before and after school care on different days. This would be three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon on different days: Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Date nights and weekend shifts always available although we wouldn’t expect it.

Looking for someone who is kind and energetic, and who has initiative. Experience with, and a genuine love of, children is essential. We’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable, and who will engage with our children. We approach this like a team and have had excellent relationships with our last two Nannies.

Both children are active and happy little people who love socialising. It's important that you're comfortable driving (you'll drive our car) as there is drop off and pick up and a few activities (eg gymnastics, Prahran market, etc). Some are within walking distance but otherwise you'll likely use the car at least once a day (to do kinder pick up).

The role involves some house keeping before or after drop off (clothes washing and folding, unloading groceries) and food preparation.
We have a cleaner so the role doesn't require any deep cleaning - just keeping the house tidy and cleaning up as you go.

If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!

Hello,

We are a busy family of 4 and are looking for someone to help us out a few days a week (might vary depending on availability). We have 2 gorgeous girls, one in Primary school and one about to start Senior school, whilst both my husband and I run different businesses.

We'd love a little help getting our family organised. In terms of the girls, it would be getting them from school (& possibly to) and co-ordinating some of the logistics around their after school activities. We would love sometime on a longer term basis, to spend some time with them whether it's homework help, playing on the trampoline, shooting hoops or recreating tik tok dances!

We'd love help of around 10-12hrs per week if possible but someone with some flexibility. Additional hours would be available when we travel or need a night out.

Our ideal scenario for now would be;
- Tuesday from 9-5pm (would involve some drop offs, pick ups and school pick ups) with some light house work, errands and possible dog walking in between.
- Wednesday afternoons 3-6pm

- Depending on availability a fortnightly scheduled date night would be a bonus

We have 2 busy daughters aged 9yrs & 12yrs with lots of scheduled activities to keep them busy (gymnastics, netball, swimming, acting classes).

We had a long term Nanny but these days we don't need quite as much help. We’d love to have the same person to call on so the girls can build a relationship and to also help put with the occasional babysitting for weekday date nights or weekends.

Must have a safe and reliable car and driving record for pick ups and drop offs. Must love dogs (we only have one, she's a big teddy bear).

We'd love you to get in touch and meet the girls.
