Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Fitzroy VIC

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, kind and energetic part time nanny to care for our 18 month old, 3 days per week (Mon-Wed). We would love our nanny to be an extension of the family and to be able to help with light duties around the house including cooking/meal prep for the family.

We are looking for someone who is reliable, fun and kind to do school pick up and drop off to extra curricular activities for our almost 9 yo girl. Our girl is quite independent and very easy to hang out with.
Duties including school pick up (her school is located in Moonee Ponds and we live in Parkville) snack preparation, play and entertaining, sometimes a little bit of homework, pick up & drop off to activities and general tidy up. No household duty is expected.

I’m looking for a warm, reliable and experienced part-time nanny for my two boys, aged 7 and 4, in Fitzroy North.

My older son has autism and ADHD, so I’m particularly keen to find someone with genuine hands-on experience supporting neurodivergent children. It would be wonderful to find someone who understands sensory needs, emotional regulation and transitions, and can provide calm, consistent and positive support.

The role involves caring for both boys, with additional support for my older son, and helping create a settled, enjoyable routine for the children. I’m hoping to find someone who would like to become a trusted, long-term part of our family. It would start with weekend work and hopefully move to after school and school holiday care from term 1 next year.

I’m open to a nanny with a background in early childhood education, disability support or professional nannying, provided they have relevant experience and a warm, neurodiversity-affirming approach.

We have an approximate budget of $35–$45 per hour, depending on experience and the arrangement.

🌴 Job Opportunity: Native English or Spanish Teacher – One Year in Florianópolis, Brazil
Imagine spending a year living by the beach on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, while making a real difference in the lives of two wonderful children.
The role:
We’re looking for a native English or Spanish speaker to provide bilingual home-based education for our two children, ages 5 and 6. They are sweet, curious, and exceptionally bright. We’d love someone who blends teaching with warmth, bringing the language to life through play, stories, music, nature, and everyday activities.
What we offer
∙ Free accommodation in a newly renovated studio on the beach, close to our home
∙ A competitive salary, to be discussed
∙ A genuine cultural immersion, with the support of a welcoming family
About Florianópolis
Known as the “Ilha da Magia” (Island of Magic), Florianópolis is the capital of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. The island has more than 40 beaches, from calm turquoise bays to world-class surf spots. You’ll also find lagoons, sand dunes, Atlantic Forest trails, and charming fishing villages with Azorean heritage.
It consistently ranks among Brazil’s cities with the highest quality of life. It is safe by Brazilian standards and has a thriving international community of digital nomads, surfers, and expats. The food scene is fantastic, especially the oysters, which are among the best in the country. From June to November, southern right whales visit the coast.
Why a year in Brazil?
Living abroad for a year is about more than adding a line to your CV. It’s a life-changing experience. Brazil is warm, joyful, and full of life, with music, festivals, football, and a culture built around connection and hospitality. You’ll become fluent in Portuguese, form lasting friendships, and see the world, and yourself, through a new lens. Employers and universities increasingly value this kind of intercultural experience, adaptability, and independence.

∙ Native English or Spanish speaker
∙ Experience with early childhood education (preferred)
∙ Patient, creative, responsible, and loves children

I am looking for a caring and reliable babysitter for my 8-year-old daughter, who has travelled the world, and is very sophisticated for her age. She is also at times very strong headed. So, a babysitter in 20’s range, in my opinion, always works best for her, as she relates better to this age group.

Looking for somebody to start ASAP, which can involve picking daughter up from Fitzroy North Primary or her extracurricular classes, when she finishes and watching her during the evening. Looking for somebody to begin next week, and for afternoons/evenings concentrated from mid Oct through Nov 5th. This role is more flexible rather than on a fixed schedule.

Must have experience, and references that can be provided, and preferably close by to Fitzroy where we currently live. Pls respond with availability. Happy to arrange a paid trial first.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

We have been fortunate to have wonderful, long-term relationships with our nannies and really value having people in our children’s lives who become trusted and familiar members of our family. With one of our current nannies finishing with us in December, we are starting our search now for the right people to join us longer term.

While the permanent roster will commence from December 2026, there is plenty of opportunity to start sooner. We have availability from late Oct ongoing. This means there will be opportunities over the coming months to work with our family, get to know the children and see whether we are a good fit for each other before moving into a regular long-term arrangement.

We are looking to cover afternoon shifts across Tuesday and Wednesday and a full day Thursday

School/daycare pick-ups, play or activities, dinner, baths and helping with the evening routine.

We are looking for someone who is:

* Experienced and confident caring for toddlers and young children
* Warm, patient and genuinely engaged with children
* Calm and emotionally attuned, particularly around big feelings, boundaries and age-appropriate challenging behaviour
* Reliable and punctual
* Independent and able to take initiative without needing constant direction
* Organised, clean and respectful of our home

* Flexible where possible, while also communicating clearly about their own availability

In return, we are looking for the same level of care, reliability and respect for our family.

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear a little about you, your nannying/childcare experience and understand your current availability.

Looking for a wonderful Nanny to join our family. Our children are fun and bright (aged 5 and 10) and looking for someone who is responsible and kind to look after them and bring a sense of fun and adventure. This role does require you to have a car as we will need your help with school pick-ups.

Hi! We are looking for a lovely, reliable babysitter for our nearly 5-month-old daughter, Eloise.

We’d love to find someone who can build an ongoing relationship with Eloise so she gets to know you and feels comfortable in your care as she gets older.

Babysitting will mainly be evenings and weekends, as I’m home with Eloise during the week. We’d start with a couple of hours and gradually build up to longer shifts, with plenty of notice wherever possible.

We’re looking for someone who is comfortable with young babies, including bottles and solids, bathing and bedtime. Nursing, midwifery, mothercraft or other medical experience with babies would be preferred, given Eloise’s age, although strong infant childcare experience is also welcome.

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear a little about you and your experience 😊

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.
Thanks,
Ilan
