Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Ivanhoe East VIC

Clever, independent 7 year old girl and smart, friendly 12 year old boy, need fun, experienced nanny. (Our Mum says she must be very focused on safety first!) This job involves picking us up from school, taking us to some after school activities, bringing us home, helping with homework, simple meal prep and helping get us ready for bed. Nanny needs to be flexible to stay later if our Mum is stuck in the office or has a specific work commitment late. (It happens sometimes, but not too often.) Hourly rate flexible depending upon experience. Must be non-smoker. Must have WWCC. Will need own car to get to our place, but we provide the nanny a car to drive the children.

Looking for a friendly nanny to look after our 14-month-old son who is a hungry, curious, explorer.

My husband and I work from home on Mondays and are looking for someone to join us each Monday for an ongoing position. Ideally, our nanny will be able to assist on a Monday for all of 2026.

Seeking help every Monday roughly 8.30am-5pm. We also have a 3 year old son who will be attending a local kinder on Mondays from 8.45am - 4.15pm on Mondays. Ideally, our nanny would be able to assist with pick up/drop off regularly and then play with both children until we finish work at 5pm. Pick up/drop off can be done by walking with our pram (25 mins) or driving (5 mins) (car seats can be arranged but you will need your own car!)

Our ideal nanny would be:

1. Experienced;
2. Comfortable to take our son to activities in the local area (library, story time, toy library, music class);
3. Have their own car;
4. Happy to help with cooking dinner and household tasks (light cleaning, laundry, organising);
5. Comfortable with pick up/drop off of our son to kinder; and
6. Comfortable with driving children locally - generally within the same suburb.

This position starts from Monday 12 January 2026, however it would be wonderful if our nanny could meet the kids and undertake some casual babysitting in the lead up to Christmas so that everyone is comfortable going into the role next year.

Hi there, we require a babysitter for our 10 year old girl & 13 year old boy. They are both quite independent, my son is likely to stay in his room gaming online most the night.

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for taking a look at our job! We have three children aged 11, 9, and 4, and we’re looking for someone to help one evening a week, a few hours during the day on another day, and occasionally on weekends.

Our wonderful previous babysitter has just started a full-time job, so we’re hoping to find someone new to join our family routine. We’ve had such lovely experiences with babysitters and au pairs over the years and really value the warmth and care they bring into our home.

It would be great if you could also help with some light household chores or cooking, especially if that’s something you enjoy.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Franziska

We are looking for a caring and engaged nanny for our children Arlo (7), Winnie (5) and George (12 months) 4 days per week (can also do 5 if preferred), hours 7:45/8-5:30ish. We are hoping to find someone who can be an important long term part of our family. Location is Westgarth and days will involve two school drop offs /pick ups and the rest of the day with our one year old. Light house duties including heating/ cleaning up kids mealtimes, light tidying up after children etc.

We are looking for a babysitter for our 8.5 year old son Nicholas. We would mostly need help in the afternoon hours, likely 2-3 hours at a time. It will likely be once per week, but the day will vary.
Nicholas is ADHD/autistic, and can be hyperactive or impulsive at times and does need a lot of 1:1 interaction. He is very creative and fun-loving and does really well when he has someone to engage with 1:1. He is verbal, but can sometimes be a little hard to understand, but once you get to know him it's usually fine.
We have lots of toys and games at home that can be used for play. We'd love to have a babysitter who could engage with Nicholas in physical games and play.
We would initially like our babysitter to spend time with Nicholas in our home, while one of us is at home as well, until we all get to know each other. Then after some time, it would be good if Nicholas could be with our babysitter while we run errands or perhaps have a much needed night out.

I am a mum of 2 (5 year old son and 3 year old daughter), both of my kids are quite easy going and loves books, LEGO and trains!

We are looking for a babysitter for 3 days a week, Monday, Thursday and Friday (most half-day afternoons and some full days too). We would require you to play with the kids, read them books and give them snacks and food; also, do minimal tidying up around the house, like keeping toys in order, loading the dishwasher, etc. I work from home most days, so I will be around if you need any help.

We live in Canterbury (close to East Camberwell and Canterbury train stations).

Looking forward to meeting you!

Tom is a 12 yr old boy with infectious energy, a cheeky demeanour and the giver of the world’s best hugs. He also lives with childhood dementia, which means he needs support for movement, communication, feeding, and daily care. Tom loves all things emergency vehicles, trains and cars. He particularly loves swimming, train rides, science works and farm trips. Tom is visually impaired, so imagination and high energy is a must to help bring other sensory modalities into Tom’s world. We have a team of wonderful carers (a number of whom are graduating at the end of this year). We are looking to add to that team. Ideally, you would be able to commit to at least 3 afternoon shifts a week (3.45-7.15). There are also overnight/before school and weekend shifts available. We are very keen to hear from people who are looking for permanent roles with fixed shifts. If you are looking for longer hours and are happy to do housework, housemanagement and family cooking - just let us know as that is also of interest to us. You don't need experience in disabilities - as you would receive full training with existing carers (but it certainly isn't standard babysitting). Job responsibilities include assisting Tom with mobility (he uses a wheelchair, however he needs support to walk when getting to and from toilet, changing chairs or positions etc); poviding personal care assistance (including toileting, bathing/showering); assisting Tom with meals (he has a PEG, but still eats by mouth with support); implementing various strategies to assist sensory processing challenges and communication limitations; general household chores (cleaning up after Tom); having fun and getting Tom out and about to experience the world!
About you: you’re fun, energetic, and imaginative, ready to dive into creative play, make up silly voices, and go on pretend rescue missions with Tom and his emergency vehicles. You’re reliable and consistent, someone who can build a strong, trusting relationship with Tom and the care team over time. You approach challenges with patience, empathy, and a problem-solving mindset, especially when navigating emotional or behavioural ups and downs. You’re physically capable and confident supporting mobility needs. You're comfortable with personal care (e.g. assisting with toileting, hygiene, feeding). Tom has a large team of allied health professionals, so there’s lots of opportunity to interact with these team members if you are studying in those fields.
The pay is excellent, reflecting the unique nature of this job and the very special people that do it best. If you are interested, please get in contact. Any applications will be reviewed at first instance by one of Tom's existing senior carers - so please feel free to ask any questions about the role. Thank you
