Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Essendon West VIC

I’m looking for a kind and reliable sitter for my 13-year-old son during the school holidays and some evenings while I’m at work. I’m hoping to find someone he can genuinely connect with and feel comfortable around.

Ideally, you would have a full drivers licence and a valid Working With Children Check. We are located in Tullamarine.

I’m looking for around 3 days per week, roughly 10:30am–4:00pm. The role would include taking him to activities such as bowling, Timezone, Luna Park, the movies, Bounce, or alternatively keeping him entertained at home. He enjoys board games, gaming, drawing and arts.

He also loves being active—shooting hoops, kicking a soccer ball, going for a bike ride—so someone who enjoys sport or being outdoors would be wonderful.

Depending on how he connects with the right person, there may be ongoing weekly hours after the holidays.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in, I’d truly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much 🙏💙

We both work in hybrid roles (3 days in office, 2 days at home) so one of us will often be home working from the front office on alternating days.

Our home is a lovely light-filled and carefully curated space to spend the day, with a small back yard and lawn. Heating/cooling and well equipped kitchen for your use. Easy pram walks to plenty of local parks, cafes and ammenities nearby, too.

I am looking for someone who is available to drop off and pick up my son from kindergarten 3 times a week, on a regular basis. The center is a short tram ride away and I would require you to be at our house at 645am so I can head to work.

Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.

Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essential—finding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.

Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and we’re looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.

What we’re hoping for -
We’re looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays

Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.

We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, we’re hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.
