Hi there! We’ve just moved to Elsternwick from the other side of town, and our kids are in Prep and Grade 2, and have settled in beautifully at their new school.
We’re looking for a friendly, reliable babysitter to help us out one afternoon a week (likely Wednesdays if that works) — picking the kids up from school at 3:30 pm and hanging out with them until about 6:30 pm (timing negotiable).
We live about a 5–10 minute drive from the school. The job involves collecting the kids, playing, preparing simple snacks or dinner, and a bit of light tidying of kid-related chaos.
Some weeks, we might ask if you’re free for an extra afternoon or an occasional date night, but that’s totally optional.
We’ve been lucky to have wonderful babysitters in the past who’ve become part of our family over the years - we’d love to find another lovely local fit! We’re a warm, inclusive household (and have a very friendly cat!), so we’d love to find someone who’s LGBTQI+ friendly and comfortable with pets.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch - we’d love to chat.
Looking for a reliable helper/driver Hi everyone! I’m after someone to help with my sons’ sports drop-offs and pick-ups every second week (Tues–Fri). Both boys are 12 and pretty independent.
We’re in the Bayside area. You’d need to be safe, punctual, and good with kids.
If you’re after a few extra hours, we can chat about some light house duties or ironing too.
Would love to meet in person if you’re interested and available 😊

Hi - Im Jono , a solo parent in balaclava with a 12 year old boy called Noah in grade 6.
My parents in Caulfield often help out with Noah every now and then but i need some additional help to look after Noah.
I run a succesful business which requires regular interstate travel including overnight trips. I have a fair bit of travel coming up late October, early november and then some on going ad hoc times and require regulwr and consistent help with Noah including some overnight stays.
Noahs a great kid and lives with me permanently. He loves soccer, aviation and has regular kung fu classes in south melbourne and swimming in caulfield.
He catches the train to school each day to South yarra.
Niah is very independent, smart and witty and lots of fun.
We’re looking for a warm, committed nanny to become a trusted part of our family and ideally stay with us until our youngest starts kinder in a few years. This role is perfect for someone seeking a long-term position rather than something short-term. Reliability and initiative are essential, as is solid experience caring for young children, especially toddlers and one-year-olds. Our ideal caregiver is joyful, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with kids, bringing creativity and a sense of fun to each day. A strong appreciation for early childhood development and the ability to engage our children in meaningful play and learning are very important to us.
I am a chill, friendly full time working mum with 3 very well-behaving school aged children.
We would like someone permanent who can come and assist us with school runs and basic house chores. We live in Armadale.
Ideal candidate should be happy to assist with driving the children to classes and school. Optional - assisting with some light housework will be an added bonus for us :)
I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English fluently, I look forward to hearing from you!
I am looking for someone who is available to drop off and pick up my son from kindergarten 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.
Hi babysitters, we have three boys aged 4 months, 3 and 5, and are looking for someone to join our village and help us out on some weekends/evenings! Our gorgeous 3 year old has a disability - his motor development is not delayed but cognitively he is at a 12 month level, so he is always climbing and running but doesn't understand risks/safety - he is a hilarious and joyful handful!! Our 5 year old is a big help with him though and they all go to bed very easily. You wouldn't be on your own with the 3 of them awake - it would just be helping me out at home or taking one of them to the park, those sorts of things! Basically we don't have any family close by and just need a bit of support :) let me know if this interests you! We also have a dog and a cat so if you have allergies we are not the house for you unfortunately!
