Hello!

We are on the hunt for a nanny/babysitter to assist our family of 4 (+ Gus our Hungarian Vizsla) in Albert Park, to commence in a few weeks. We would like this to be ongoing/permanent for the next 6-12 months (with a break for around a month at Christmas time).

The days/hours we are looking for:
Thursdays 8-12 (8-4 from Feb 2026)
Fridays 8-12

Occasionally these days may change and/ or we would love to give additional hours during the week/weekend when required.

We are super keen to have somebody the kids have become familiar with that we can call upon other than family when needed.

We have Ned (22 month old) and Pippa (12 weeks old).

Care would mainly be for Pippa and would for the most part be feeding, settling, napping, changing, floor time etc.
Occasionally care for both Ned and Pippa.

This will allow me to drop Ned to daycare/attend appointments/catch up on work etc, so I would be in and out of the house during these hours.

During nap times some light house duties (tidying up, washing bottles etc) would be expected.

Midwife, nursing or childcare background highly regarded.

Hi there,

Light house duties of folding of washing (if a basket is done) and putting away clothes, and cooking dinners for the kids - guidance provided on this unless you happen to be a whiz in the kitchen and don't need any guidance on meals! :-)

Looking for someone that is reliable and can commit till end of school term. Someone that is patient, present and genuinely enjoys kids but can also set boundaries when required.

Hi - Im Jono , a solo parent in balaclava with a 12 year old boy called Noah in grade 6.

My parents in Caulfield often help out with Noah every now and then but i need some additional help to look after Noah.

I run a succesful business which requires regular interstate travel including overnight trips. I have a fair bit of travel coming up late October, early november and then some on going ad hoc times and require regulwr and consistent help with Noah including some overnight stays.

Noahs a great kid and lives with me permanently. He loves soccer, aviation and has regular kung fu classes in south melbourne and swimming in caulfield.

He catches the train to school each day to South yarra.

Niah is very independent, smart and witty and lots of fun.

Nos deux enfants, Isidore (7 ans) et Artémis (4 ans), sont des enfants australiens bilingues. Ce sont des enfants assez sages qui adorent lire, dessiner, et qui regardent très peu les écrans. Ils ont fait 6 mois d’école en France en 2024, et nous habitons actuellement à Fitzroy.

Nous cherchons une babysitteuse française ou francophone qui peut garder les enfants lundi, mardi et/ou mercredi de 15h à 18h, c'est à dire:
- chercher les enfants a l'école et kindergarten (à North Fitzroy et pas loin loin de l'autre)
- déposer les enfants à des activités (judo et cours de piano, à Abbotsford et chez nous à Fitzroy)
- cuisiner un repas simple du soir certains jours

Les voyages se feront idéalement en utilisant votre propre voiture. Nous n'avons pas de voiture - par contre nous avons un vélo cargo electrique qui peut etre utilisé si la babysitteuse est très expérimentée avec les vélos.

En tout cas nous cherchons quelqu'un qui peut aider les enfants à continuer de parler et lire en français. Ça serait idéale pour quelqu’un qui aime les langages et les livres.

Merci et n’hésitez pas à nous contacter par la messagerie ici si vous etes disponibles pour une, deux, ou trois apres-midis par semaine

We are looking for someone to regularly babysit our gorgeous little boy George (born April 2025) on a regular basis, starting with Wednesday mornings around 9 - midday, and otherwise as required during the week and some Friday or Saturday evenings. No housework expected during these babysitting hours.

From January 2026 we will be looking for a permanent nanny, 3 days per week (ideally Mondays - Wednesdays & Thursdays from 8 - 6pm) as George's mum returns to work. Some light household duties would be expected during these hours, including food shopping, basic meal prep for George and for parents, going out to buy gifts or other things we might need during the week.

Ideally this person would start working with us on a casual basis this year, and transition to more permanent role next year. We would love for the right person to become part of our small family and eventually accompany us on holidays or weekends away to our holiday homes in Sorrento, Noosa and Mt Buller during the Ski Season.

George is our first child, and has a beautiful nature. He is very smiley and calm, and bonus - he loves to sleep!!
