About Our Family
Our two children are six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking someone to become a new part of our family. We value the important role of a nanny and the connection that is built with the children. This is a sole charge nanny/manager position, for someone comfortable with occasions where one or both parents are working from home.

Our kids are energetic and bright, and love reading, crafting, puzzles and games. Our family enjoys learning about languages, science and the natural world. We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). Our household uses structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.

Hello lovely nannies! We are looking for an experienced, friendly and reliable nanny to look after two beautifully behaved children - 6yo boy and 8yo girl. Both are attending school in the same direction (off Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn and Kew) and will require pick up (own car and car license required) from 3:15pm Mon/Wed/Fri. Finish time approx. 6:30pm. Tasks include helping kids complete simple school homework, prepare simple dinner for kids and simple house tidying/laundry. Hours during school holiday periods will be Mon/Wed/Fri 8am-6:30pm. Please DM me if interested, thank you!

Hello Nannies,

I’m looking for someone to help with afternoons/evenings for my two kids (9YO girl and 14YO boy) on Weds and Thursday.
Includes school pick up (mostly for the 9YO as the 14YO can often walk home or has activities), taking them to activities, organise dinner, put away kids washing, tidy toy room, make lunches for the kids the next day. At this stage, weds is netball training and Thursday swimming lessons for the 9YO. However it might also include picking up my son after school sport (still confirming the schedule).
If you can walk the dog before school pick up that’s also welcomed but would mean a start time of 230 instead of 330. Finish time will usually be around 7.

Note: We did have two wonderful nannies for 18 months but both managed to get internships. A friend of one of those nannies is doing Mon/Tues, so need someone to do the other days. I found having two nannies worked well where things came up and they could also fill in for each other.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Thankyou,
Emma

Applicants with experience supporting the changing needs of a medical/executive family a plus. Applicants must have current Police Check and Working With Children. First Aid training ideal.

ABOUT THE FAMILY

Family of four with two girls (4.5 years old and 8 years old) are looking for a nanny to care for their two girls. The right person will have some experience caring for children, but the family is open to hiring someone who is new in their caregiving journey. First and foremost, the family is looking for someone with integrity, family values, someone who is trustworthy and someone who is reliable.

The family will need additional support during school holidays.

ABOUT THE NANNY

The ideal candidate must be comfortable caring for the girls together and competent in keeping a clean and organised home. You must be energetic and prepared to facilitate age-appropriate activities with the two girls, such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, cooking, hide and seek etc. These girls do not have iPads and screen time (i.e. watching movies) is kept to a minimum.

The parents are both working parents but occasionally work from home and are very present in the children's lives.


DUTIES
• First and foremost, look after the girls. Imaginative play, being outdoors, reading books, cooking, arts and crafts.
• Light laundry duties (putting clothing in washer and dryer). No ironing required.
• Grocery shopping before school pick up.
• Picking up the girls from school on a Tuesday.
• Helping to keep house tidy (e.g. general errands, accepting packages, unpacking dishwasher, etc).
• Occasional availability to baby sit for date night.
• Return home to tidy state at end of each day.

We are looking for a reliable babysitter, non smoker with own car, WCC, with parent references to pick up 2 boys (age 10 and 12 years) from school in Toorak and drive them home (5 minutes drive from school). Minimal hours 2.30-4.30 pm each Wednesday. Optional school holiday care as well. You would guide my boys to unpack their school bags and supervise their homework (making sure that if they are on their laptops they are actually doing homework and not slacking off). Wash their lunchboxes. Make them some arvo tea. You may need to drive one of the boys to a fitness class nearby at 4.30pm. We are quite an introverted family so someone with a bubbly personality who likes a chat especially about Minecraft and Star Wars would be great! Am looking for someone to start 4 Feb.

Hello,

We are a young family in Kew and we are looking for a lovely nanny to look after our two daughters and manage the house (4yrs and 8yrs).

On days when I can pick up the girls, housekeeping help is needed including light cleaning, laundry, shopping and walking the dog.

We are looking for someone energetic, friendly, reliable and used to looking after little kids. Drivers license, police check and WWC check a must.

We also have a friendly little pug and old cat at our house.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an energetic and extroverted nanny starting in February for Monday/Thurs/Fri hours during the week and 10-4pm on Sat and Sunday. Its very important to be talkative and playful as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check and references. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

We are looking for a fun and lively person who can connect with our 3 children aged 9 (Max) and 13 (Noah) with their own car, references and WWCC. We also have another daughter Naomi (15) in Year 10 and is always at afterschool sport and is completely independent.

This job will be to pick up my 9 year old from school in Kew, sometimes my 13 year old from the high school campus and back home to Toorak, prepare after school snacks, and taking them to their after school activities, heat up dinner & folding laundry. There will be dinner preparation on the Wednesday before school pick up as well.


We value the work that a nanny does to ensure our children feel cared for. You will need a driving license and own car. There are always extra hours during the school holidays.
School term Hours: Tues 3-7pm. Wed 3-7pm, Friday 7-9pm

Hi all,

We are looking for someone who can help us provide a few hours of childcare daily (generally for 1 child) to supplement kinder on the upcoming few weeks of part-time / transition days.

In particular, days / times we need help over the coming weeks:
* Mon 2nd Feb - 10am-5:15pm with our youngest (3 years old)
* Tue 3rd Feb - 12-4:30pm with our middle child (5 years old)
* Thu 5th Feb - 12-5:15pm with our middle child (5 years old)
* Fri 6th Feb - 12-4:30pm with our middle child (5 years old)
* Mon 9th Feb - 12-5pm with our youngest (3 years old)
* Tue 10th Feb - 3-4:30pm with our middle child (5 years old)
* Thu 12th Feb - 3-5:15pm with our middle child (5 years old)

We do have some flexibility if your schedule is not a perfect fit for the above hours; we may also have some additional hours on offer over the coming weeks if that's of interest - let's chat!

On each day, we'd need you to pick up our child up from kinder (in Hawthorn East) and transport them to our home in Kew, entertaining / feeding them as needed. We have a local park around the corner and plenty of toys. We'd ask for no screen time.

A car that can accommodate at least one car seat and a clean driving record are required, in addition to the typical WWCC etc.

Let me know if interested and feel free to ask any questions!

Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.

Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essential—finding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.

Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and we’re looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.

What we’re hoping for -
We’re looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays

Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.

We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, we’re hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.
