Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Hawthorn East VIC

We are a family of 4 living in Hawthorn East. My husband and I have a 8 yr old son and a 1 yr old son. We are searching for a caring person to help us with our morning school routine with our son and toddler. We would like help with school drop off in the morning for our 8 yr old son from Mon-Thurs. After the school drop off we would like help with baby sitting our toddler for 3 hours (till his noon nap). We would like the baby sitter to spend time with our toddler playing and doing activities that are applicable for his age.

Hi,

We're a busy family in Hawthorn East looking for a reliable, organised nanny to help us during the week. We have three children, a 10-year-old (turning 11 in September) and 8-year-old twins, all in primary school.

What we need help with:

- General household organising and tidying, including vacuuming upstairs (downstairs is handled by our robot vacuum) and wiping down surfaces, to keep the home running smoothly
- Laundry : washing, drying, folding and putting away
- School pick-up (one school only. the other is covered by family)
- Helping the kids with homework and their after-school routine

Deep cleaning is handled by our regular cleaner and meal prep is taken care of by family, so this role is focused on tidying, light cleaning, laundry, the children and homework.

Hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 12pm–6pm (6 hours per day, ~18 hours per week). Housework in the earlier part of the day, then school pick-up and the kids in the afternoon.

Ideal person: warm, patient and dependable with primary-aged children, confident supporting homework, with a current driver's licence and comfortable with school pick-up. Tidy and proactive around the house.

Thank you!

We are a family of 4 with two primary school aged kids. The oldest (girl) is in grade 5, while the youngest (boy) is in grade 3 year. Both kids are very active, love imaginative play, books and reading, craft, and sports.

We are two professional working parents, based in the primarily in city, balancing our family and career commitments.

We are looking for someone for 1-2 days after school - Monday (required) and Tuesday (can be flexible on Tuesdays). It involves school pick-up, driving to sports activities, helping with homework, dinner (we generally pre cook meals) and light house duties (unpacking dishwasher, helping kids with their laundry etc).

Loking for a part time regular nanny to help with our 3 kids (7, 4, 2). We'd love to engage someone who can be with the kids regularly and hopefully for a while for continuity.

At this stage, I'm looking for regular afternoon/evening work on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, ideally some groceries/food prep and potentially some light household chores. Then kinder/school pick up and activities, and some play before dinner!

I'm also hoping for a longer day on Thursdays for my younger two - with daytime outings/playground etc

I'd love to chat more if those days/times suit you! We're flexible with hours, hourly rates etc for the right fit!

Cheers
Hannah and John

My name is Sarah and I live with my partner and 2 boys in Hawthorn East (3yo and 4mo).

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. We work full time and are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys caring for young children, is patient and nurturing, and takes pride in helping a busy household run smoothly.

* 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

* 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
* Holds (or is willing to obtain) a Working With Children Check, First Aid and CPR qualifications

Remuneration

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

Our process
