Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Gisborne VIC

Hello,
I am a mum of 2 boys aged 6 and 8. I am looking for casual babysitting on the odd occasion that I need my kids to be looked after in the evenings during the week. This is my first time searching for someone to mind my children outside of family, so it is really important for me to find the perfect babysitter to understand my children's needs.

Just a little about my boys...
My 6 year old boy is very kind and affectionate and is usually very easy to get along and communicate with.

My 8 year old boy has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. There are moments where he may get worked up with minor things and we are all learning how to manage our new lifestyle with this, but deep down he is a caring and aware boy :)

The role for this job will include dinner time and bedtime routine mainly and you are welcome to entertain the boys with things they enjoy which is reading, lego and colouring in and whatever else they might feel like doing on the night.

Bedtime routine is usually easy. Once they brush their teeth and wear their pyjamas they will be in bed around 8.30-9.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Seeking someone to pick up two kids (prep and grade 2) from school and look after them for three hours, about three days per week (but can be flexible with this). School is walking distance from our house.

Very easy, well behaved kids. Our 8 year old son is ASD/ADHD/dyslexic so looking for someone who is comfortable in a positive and affirming neurodivergent household. Our 5 year old daughter is sassy and full of energy, loves imaginative play.

Looking for someone who will build a longer term relationship with them, with occasional evening and weekend sessions very much a possibility. Must be comfortable around dogs with a large lazy dog in the house.

Hourly rate negotiable depending on experience.

Looking for a daytime babysitter/nanny for my 13 months old daughter on the need basis. Both parents work from home so we will be there to support. Require some one who can provide care during the days our daughter is not going to childcare. This week she is home so we need from Tomorrow. Thanks.

Require overnight care each week on Tuesday night through to Wednesday morning 10am (parent leaves for work very early in the AM) and every second Friday night through to Saturday 10am. On some occasions day time care as well on an adhoc basis if you are available. A loving 3yo who we would like to connect with someone on a permanent basis so he is comfortable and gets to know the same person. Parent is there to put child to bed each night and carer can come at anytime prior to 9pm in the evening. Can speak to current nanny for any questions!

I am looking for someone to help with the care of my 9 month old son, Harry. I am a solo mother and have recently returned to work 3 days per week. Harry is in childcare 4 days a week and I need someone to help with daycare pickups and afternoon/evening routine on the days I am working. The daycare is walking distance from my house. My hours can be quite variable and some days I may not be home until the evening. I also will need occasional help during the day (days may vary week to week), particularly if Harry is unwell and can't attend daycare. Harry does not attend daycare on Mondays so I am also looking for someone who can care for him for 3-4 hours on a Monday.
It would be great if I can find someone who can help with some general jobs in the house too etc. washing, cleaning, cooking for Harry.
I have 2 greyhounds at home too. They are very calm, quiet and friendly dogs. I live in a 2 storey house in Strathmore which is walking distance from the local shops and cafes on Napier St.
