I'm looking for a reliable and caring person to help with my two children, aged 7 and 9.

I'm currently seeking someone to pick them up from Glen Iris Primary School at 3:15 pm on Tuesdays, drive them home, and stay with them until I return from work at around 7:00 pm.

During that time, I'd like someone to supervise them while they complete their homework, prepare a light afternoon snack (such as sliced fruit), and generally keep them company and engaged until I get home.

Initially, I'm looking for help on Tuesdays only, but there may be an opportunity to expand this to additional afternoons in the future, and potentially assist with morning school drop-offs as well.

My name is Sarah and I live with my partner and 2 boys in Hawthorn East (3yo and 4mo). I am looking for care for my 4 month old, primarily on Wednesday afternoons, but with the potential for more work in future, as I slowly return to work post maternity leave. I would love to organise a meeting if this type of work is of interest. Cheers, Sarah

The role is from October through to the end of the year. Our family’s requirements are expected to change in 2027, so we’re currently recruiting for this period, although there may be an opportunity to discuss ongoing arrangements if our needs align.

We have two young daughters – a 4-month-old baby who will be at home during the day and a 2.5-year-old who attends daycare. The role primarily involves caring for our baby during the day, preparing our toddler’s dinner before daycare pick-up, and then managing the evening routine for both children.

* Quiet play, books and winding down before bed (we are typically home for bed time)

Our car is generally available for daycare pick-up, or the daycare is approximately a 5–10 minute walk from our home.

Household management

An important part of this role is helping us keep the household organised and tidy while the children are settled.

We have a regular cleaner but we would love someone who is happy to assist with the day-to-day tasks that help a busy household run smoothly, including:

* Laundry
* Loading and unloading the dishwasher, and keeping the kitchen tidy
* General tidying and resetting the house at the end of each day including children rooms and play areas, and unpacking / repacking daycare bag

We’re looking for someone who is:

* Warm, caring and patient
* Highly reliable and punctual
* Experienced caring for babies and young children
* Able to provide references from previous families, with prior infant experience strongly preferred
* Comfortable working independently while confidently managing both childcare and light household duties

We offer a competitive hourly rate to be discussed depending on your experience and qualifications.
