Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Gardenvale VIC

We are looking for some part-time help with our two children: a 4-year-old boy (who is in kinder) and a 5-month-old baby girl. We also have a 6-year-old Cavoodle - technically our first child!

What we are looking for:
- Current needs: A regular Thursday afternoon/evening shift (approx. 3:00 PM onwards) to help with kinder pickup and the bedtime routine, plus occasional ad-hoc babysitting.
- Future needs: Increased hours from next year when I return to work from parental leave.

Ideally, you would be experienced with:
- Caring for a child and a baby at the same time
- Managing the evening routine (dinner, bath, book, bed) and caring for an infant (settling, bottles, nappies)
- Driving our family car (equipped with child seats) for the kinder pickup.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we would love to arrange a quick meet-and-greet!

Before getting started, we do just require a current Working with Children Check (WWCC), references, and an up-to-date whooping cough

Hi 😊

I’m looking for a part-time babysitter to help care for my 20-month-old daughter.
I’m hoping to find someone who is caring, responsible, and comfortable with toddler care. Previous experience with young children is preferred, but most importantly, I’m looking for someone who can provide a safe, warm, and loving environment.

Duties include basic childcare such as feeding, playing indoors and outdoors, and diaper changes if needed.

We also have a fully house-trained Labrador retriever, so someone who is comfortable around dogs would be preferred.

If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out. Thank you!

We are looking for a kind, reliable and energetic babysitter/nanny to help care for our three children (ages 10, 8 and 6) after school in Brighton.

The role is approximately 3 hours per afternoon, Monday to Friday, and would suit someone who enjoys spending time with school-aged children. Duties include school pick-up, taking the children to after-school activities, helping with homework/readers when needed, preparing a simple afternoon snack or meal, and keeping the children’s spaces tidy.

We are looking for someone responsible, engaging and organised who can become a trusted part of our family’s routine. A driver’s licence and reliable car are required.

Experience with children is preferred, but the most important qualities are reliability, warmth and a genuine enjoyment of caring for kids.

Nanny wanted — Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 9am–5pm — starting early February 2027.

We’re a young family in Brighton looking for a warm, reliable nanny to join us three days a week from the start of February.

You’d mainly be caring for our one-year-old — a happy, easygoing little one who’s a genuine delight to be around. Our three-year-old may also be home one day (subject to daycare availability), so at times it’d be both of them together.

These three days line up with the days one of us works part-time; the other works full-time. On most of them, one of us will be home working from home — so there’s a hand nearby if it’s ever truly needed.

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. There may be some flexibility for the right person.

Rate: $30 (happy to pay cash)

Driving: Licence required but not expected to pick up any kids from daycare etc

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear a bit about you and have a chat. Thanks!
