Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Essendon North VIC

Take care of my toddler Penelope (birthday 31/07/24) on any 3-4 weekdays per week for a limited period of time - 10 August until 11 September. Start and end times up for discussion, but preferred candidates will be available from 8:30am until 7pm. At our Moonee Ponds house.

Must like dogs - we have a cavoodle.

Penelope's middle-of-day nap is usually 2 hours-long. Household chores during this time eg vacuum/mop, laundry, cleaning up after meals, getting Penelope's next meal ready.

Flexibility is key because I may need more support (longer/extra days) if my husband is working late. Also flexibility in terms of juggling new baby and Penelope with me.

Must have an updated vaccination for whooping cough (pertussis).

If you are interested, please respond to this ad and include the following: whether you are available for at least 3-4 days per week, a little about yourself and your experiences in nanny positions, where in Melbourne you live and your phone number. I would love to give you a call and chat to you :)

We are looking for an ongoing nanny on 1-day per week (including school holidays )

Sadly our nanny we had for 18-months has finished up with us to help with her elderly parents.

We are a family of 4 including a 5-month old puppy located in South Kingsville.

We have a 6 year old in prep and a 2 year old.

Ideally we would love someone who can assist with school drop offs and pick ups and then look after our 2 year old during the day.

Looking for someone reliable, experienced with young children who is nurturing, attentive, and enjoys engaging in play, walks, and supporting development.
Light home duties would be appreciated (e.g. tidying play areas, child-related cleaning, occasional laundry).
One parent will be working from home, so someone comfortable with that setup is important.

We are looking for before and after school care for our three children (9, 7 and 2) - we are flexible on days but would like Tuesday and Wednesday at a minimum if possible. The older two are at primary school and only one requires pickup and the school is walking distance from our house. Our youngest is at childcare all day but would be looking for someone to pick her up so a drivers licence is helpful although not essential as daycare is 20mins walk away.
We are an easy going, friendly and busy household and hope to find someone to start quickly. We are looking for someone who can help with kids meals and afterschool activities. Hours are flexible and so can be discussed - preferably 3 hours in the afternoon and 2-3 hours in the morning.
We have a dog who is very friendly but being ok with pets is a must.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi!

We’re a warm, easy-going family in Burnside Heights looking for a caring, reliable nanny to become an important part of our daughter’s life.

Our daughter will celebrate her first birthday in February, and we’re hoping to find someone who will become a trusted part of her world as she grows through these precious early years.

The Role
Location: Burnside Heights
Day: Preferably Friday, although there is some flexibility as we’re currently finalising our work schedules.
Hours: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (10 guaranteed paid hours)

I’m planning to return to work one day per week from November, and we’d love to arrange a few casual sessions throughout October so everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other before regular care begins.

What our days look like

We love spending time:
* Library story time
* Local playgroups
* Parks and nature walks
* Reading books
* Music and singing
* Sensory and creative play
* Learning through everyday experiences

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being present with children, following their interests and creating a fun, nurturing day.

Your role

* Providing warm, responsive care for our daughter
* Preparing and serving her meals and snacks
* Following her sleep routine
* Drying and putting away her clothes
* If you’re comfortable with dogs, taking our friendly Cavoodle for a short walk with the pram

There is no general housework expected. We simply ask that our daughter’s needs come first and that you enjoy spending quality time together.

About us
We’re a warm, mixed ethnicity Etheiopian-Welsh family. Mum is a Maternal & Child Health Nurse and Dad is a Physiotherapist, and we both have a strong interest in children’s health, development and wellbeing.

We value responsive, relationship-based care and see this as a partnership. We’d love to find someone who feels comfortable in our home and genuinely enjoys becoming part of our daughter’s world.

Please make yourself at home while you’re here. Help yourself to tea, coffee and lunch, and if you’re out enjoying story time, the park or a local café with our daughter, we’d love you to grab a coffee or a little treat while you’re out together, our shout.

Although the role is until 6:00 pm, we’ll often be home between 5:15-5:45pm, and if we’re home early, you’re welcome to finish then while still being paid until 6:00 pm.

What we’re looking for
* Warm, kind and patient
* Reliable and trustworthy
* Genuinely passionate about working with young children
* Great communication skills
* Current Working With Children Check
* Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
* Driver’s licence

Pay
* $28–30 per hour, depending on experience
* 10 guaranteed paid hours each week
* Regular pay reviews as the role develops

We’re not simply looking for someone to watch our daughter while we’re at work. We’re hoping to find a kind, dependable person who becomes a trusted part of her world—someone she feels excited to see each week, and someone who genuinely enjoys watching her learn, grow and discover the world.

If this sounds like the kind of role you’d love, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your experience, your current work or study, and what draws you to working with young children.

We look forward to meeting you!
