Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Hawthorn VIC

We’re a busy family with three young boys and both parents working full time. We’re looking for someone experienced, organised and proactive to take the lead on Tuesdays and Fridays, caring for our two younger boys, aged 3 and 5, while also helping keep the household running smoothly during the day.

Tuesday: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Friday: 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, with occasional 5:00 pm finishes
Rate: $35 to $40 per hour, depending on experience
Location: Hawthorn

The boys love getting out and about, including trips to the local library, Bounce, playgrounds, museums, the zoo and other activities. We both work from home, so having someone who can confidently take ownership of the day, plan activities and get the boys out of the house has worked really well for us.

There are no school or kinder pick-ups required.

You’ll need your own car and a full driver’s licence. We provide the car seats.

We also have a friendly family Groodle, so you’ll need to be comfortable around dogs, but there is no dog walking or pet care involved.

Alongside caring for the boys, we’re looking for someone who is happy to help keep things ticking over at home, including resetting the boys’ bedrooms, kitchen and living area, keeping on top of their things and preparing food for them during the day. We have a cleaner, so this is more about keeping the house organised and reset rather than heavy cleaning.

We’d love someone who naturally sees what needs doing, is confident taking initiative and can help make those two days run smoothly for the whole family.

Previous nanny or childcare experience is important, and we’re looking for someone who can commit to the role for a minimum of 6 months.

Our current nanny, who we found through this site, is moving to regional Victoria and will be finishing up with us shortly. She is very happy to provide a reference about the role and our family.

If you’re interested, please send me a message with a little about yourself and your experience.

Full-Time Nanny Position, Richmond

We're a busy, organised family with three children in Richmond looking for an experienced, full-time nanny to join our household. We've had a full-time nanny since our eldest was 3 months old, and this is a genuinely valued role in our family.

The children

- Two girls, aged 8 and 6, who attend the local primary school (7 minutes' walk from home)
- One boy, aged 3, who will attend kinder locally in 2027.
- They enjoy cycling, soccer, swimming, reading, dancing, crafting and outdoor play. No special needs.

The role

- Full-time position, commencing Thursday 5 November, with two days' handover alongside our outgoing nanny before her last day on Friday 6 November
- School drop-off and kinder drop-off, both on foot. No car or driving is required for the role, though a parking permit is available if you'd prefer to drive to work.
- During term time in 2027, all three children will be out of the house on Mondays and Wednesdays (kinder 8.30am to 1.00pm, school 9.00am to 3.30pm). We'll generally roster a later start on these two days
- Light housekeeping (eg laundry, children's bed linen changes) and basic children's meal prep (snack preparation) will form part of the role, to bring the position up to full-time hours during these gaps
- Full-time employment with a proper contract, WorkCover cover, payslips and annual leave

What we're looking for

- Prior nannying experience highly desired
- Someone who's reliable, warm with children, and comfortable being part of a busy family routine
- Ability to walk for 25 minutes to and from kindergarten with a pram (and a 3 year old on the return journey) twice a week during term time

How to apply

- We'll be interviewing from October. Please send your CV to jilliantomlinson@gmail.com along with any details about you that would be helpful for us to know.

We are looking for an experienced, reliable, kind, fun and easy-going nanny who can help out with our 3 gorgeous girls (7, 5 and 4 years old)

We are looking for someone that can help on Monday and Tuesday after school hours (3 to 6:30-7.00pm).

The 3 girls are at the same school, which is walking distance or a short drive from our house.

The role would primarily be helping with:
- school pick-ups
- taking to after school activities nearby
- bringing home and helping with dinner/ bath

Please note, we do require you have your license. Our car can be used for pickups..

We are after Mon and Tues after school.

If this is something that you may be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

We are a friendly family of four (mum, dad, two boys – 10 and 13 years old) based in Richmond.

We're seeking someone kind and engaging to help with after school pick-up and care for our two funny and kind-hearted boys, ideally two to three days per week. You would need to be a responsible driver so that you can pick up our 10 year old from school in Camberwell (ok to use our car) and possibly drop the boys at afternoon / evening sport.

Additional tasks for someone seeking more hours could include other home help (grocery shopping, cooking dinner, cleaning or organising). We work in our own business so can be flexible with days and hours and will always try to work with you to find the best fit.

An example would be:
– Two to three days per week (eg Monday/Wednesday/Thursday)
– approx 3pm–7pm (incl school pick up from Camberwell) or earlier start/later finish with other household tasks included
– possibility of morning shifts (with school drop off/tidying/coooking)

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys, tidying house and walking our dog Frankie.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.
Thanks,
Ilan

We're after someone for 3 days per week, approximately 8.30am - 5pm on an ongoing basis. We are flexible on which days of the week and also flexible on start date.

A little about us:
My husband and I both work full-time, often working from home. Our 11 month old is a happy, funny, curious little boy. He's a great eater, and goes to sleep easily when he's tired. There is nothing we love more than playing with him and making him laugh!

We are looking for a warm, experienced nanny to complement our family and hopefully be with us for the long term. If you're a nanny looking for a new family, or know someone amazing who might be interested, please reach out!

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 5yr old boy at kindy, 8yr 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 and from these activities and looking after the remaining kids etc..
We’ve been fortunate to have a wonderful nanny the past 3 years and our current nanny is busy with uni commitments next term. We have loved seeing the kids form valuable connections.

Please contact me if you are interested.

The usual tasks we would ask of you are:
- fun educational activities that encourage learning through play;
- occasional children’s activities that are within short walking distance of house;
- feeding (meals will be pre-prepared but may require heating);
- keep space organised and tidy including light cleaning and laundry as needed;

We are looking for an experienced nanny who genuinely enjoys early childhood and can bring calm, happy energy to the kids day. You'll be trusted to run the time together as your own. You will primarily take care of our little girl and then help with the preppie school drop off or pick up depending on the shift.

In terms of hours we have some flexibility - after school Wednesdays from 2.30-5.30pm, Thursdays 8- 11 and / or Fridays 9-1pm.

We are very experienced with Nannie’s and will truly value as a part of the village.
