Hi,
We are looking for a babysitter for after school pickups Mondays and Thursdays, including taking the kids to and from activities.
We live in Surrey Hills and have 3 kids, going into grades 2, 4 and year 7. Babysitting will be primarily for our primary school aged boys, who do basketball and swimming, and we’re also looking for the evening meal to be prepared (and served to the kids if needed, depending on the time) - these won’t be gourmet and we’ll leave instructions!
Generally hours would be from school pickup to about 6/6.30pm, but where needed we can flex as hopefully could you.
If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch, I’d be happy to have a chat and answer any questions.
Thanks very much,
Stephanie

Hello,
My name is Chris, and I wanted to introduce myself and our family. We’re based in Surrey Hills and are currently looking for a babysitter for our daughter, Jazz, who is 5 months old. We also have a 9 year old, Lia but we would be looking after her and dropping at school etc.

Hello, I’m looking for a regular nanny to help with kinder/school pick up on Mondays - mainly collecting and hanging out with my 4 yo, as my older kids finish school late that day. Detail: 2.45pm-5pm Mondays; kids are 4 (boy), 6 (girl) and 10 (girl); our car will be provided for kinder/school pick up; potential for additional ad hoc babysitting if interested (e.g. evenings, school holidays).
My kids are pretty relaxed and enjoy low key activities like going to the park, doing craft, reading, imaginative play and jumping on the trampoline. I was a nanny when I was a uni student, and would welcome someone like my younger self! If you're keen to have a regular part time nanny job and get to know some fabulous kids, please get in touch.
I’m Pia, mum of 3 bubbly children looking for someone to help with school/kindy drop offs in the mornings and then pick ups from 3pm in Glen Iris, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. It would be split shifts, about 1.5-2 hours in the morning and then 3 hours in the afternoon.
I have a 4yr old boy at kindy, 7yr old girl in grade 2 and 10yr old boy, both at the same school. They have after school activities, so the role would involve getting them ready and driving them to these activities and looking after the remaining kids etc..
We’ve been fortunate to have a wonderful nanny the past 3 years and have loved seeing the kids form valuable connections.
We are offering a role that that involves wraparound care (Mon- Fri, mainly school pickup and activities in the afternoon) and Sat mornings approx 9:30am-1:30pm. We expect the chosen candidate to work approx 8-12 h/week.
Our daughter Tessa is 6yo and starting Year 1. She is extremely energetic, loves dancing, singing, swimming, skateboarding and pretending to be an adult. Our nanny needs to be a bit sporty to keep up with her (eg excursions to the zoo, swimming pool, roller blading, ice skating etc). Our son Harry is 7yo and on the Autism spectrum. He is funny, imaginative and attends mainstream school (where he is very cooperative and well-liked) but can be highly inflexible and controlling at home. He likes video games, Harry Potter and haunted / scary themes.
We are seeking a reliable nanny who brings high energy, creativity and patience. A drivers licence and car is required. We LOVE students in early / primary education or allied health!
We do not expect you to care for both children alone for extended periods and will provide appropriate training and support. Due to Harry's tendency to control Tessa, our aim in having a babysitter is to separate the kids on different excursions or supervise specific activities. We need someone who understands that sometimes we agree to unreasonable to demands from Harry at home because he has put in a huge effort to fit in at school. Although we can get extremely frustrated, there is no place for old-fashioned discipline in our house (we try to use a collaborative approach).
Looking for a part time nanny/babysitter to look after my 9 and 11 year old sons before school a couple of days per week, and one day after school including driving to basketball practice.

Mum does the school run in the morning and picks the girls up after school to take them to swimming lessons. Some help with dishes/laundry appreciated. Food prep for kids and relevant clean up required. We often need extra help on other weekdays, weekends, or in the evenings for date nights etc :)
Please be able to provide information regarding:

- Vaccination status (whooping cough, covid etc)
- Any relevant training qualifications and/or experience
Start - as soon as possible. Latest start February 11th.
