Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Hawthorn East VIC

We’re a family with three boys aged 13, 10 and 8, and we’re looking for someone warm, reliable and capable who would ideally like to stay with us long term.

We’re looking for help for around 2–3 hours Monday–Thursday afternoons, as well as occasional evening babysitting for date nights. The afternoons will vary depending on the boys’ activities and may include school/activity drop-offs, helping with homework, laundry and ironing, simple meal prep and general light household help.

We’d love someone who is mature, kind, organised and happy to take some initiative.

$32–$35/hour depending on experience.

Please send us a short, personal introduction about yourself, your experience, availability, whether you drive, and why you think the role might suit you. No need for a formal or polished cover letter — we’d much rather get a feel for who you are.

We are looking for a caring and reliable nanny to look after our 11 month old son in Glen Iris.

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.

We’re looking for a fun, energetic and experienced nanny to spend Tuesdays and Fridays with our two boys, aged 3 and 5.

Tuesday: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Friday: 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
Rate: $40 per hour
Location: Hawthorn

The boys love getting out and about, including trips to the local library, Bounce, playgrounds, museum, zoo and other activities. We both work from home, so having a structured day and getting out of the house has worked really well for our family.

There are no school or kinder pick-ups required.

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

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

We have a cleaner, so housework is limited to resetting the boys’ bedrooms, kitchen and living area. There is no family meal preparation, just preparing food for the boys during the day.

We’re looking for someone warm, reliable and confident with young children, with previous nanny or childcare experience, 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 experience.
