We’re looking for a fun, caring and energetic nanny to look after our little boy, Levi (2 years old), one day a week from 8am–4pm. Tuesday preferred.

We’d love someone who:
• Enjoys spending time with toddlers
• Can plan fun and engaging activities
• Is warm, patient and reliable
• Has a Working With Children Check and First Aid Certificate

I work from home, so I’ll be around if you ever need a hand, but Levi will be your main focus during the day.

If you love little ones and enjoy creating a playful, caring environment, we’d love to hear from you! 💛

Please send me a quick message with a bit about yourself and your experience.

We could also have more hours and days added as the role evolves. Eg helping out in evenings, weekend babysitting etc as we also have a 4 year old

Interested in after school care for 2 primary school boys - to assist with pick up from school (less than 500m from home) and some assistance with reading/home work (roughly 2 to 3 hours each day, two to 3 days a week with some occasional extra days). Also include taking one of the boys to the guitar lessons one day a week (nearby but will require driving). Hours and rate negotiable (e.g. quality of care etc).

We’re looking for a kind, reliable, and proactive nanny/PA to support our family and small business.

The role will be a blend of childcare, light household help, errands, admin tasks, and some studio support.

We’re hoping for around 10 hours per week to start, with potential to grow over time.

Our baby is 20 weeks old, and care will mostly involve play, simple developmental activities, short local outings, and helping with naps. I’ll usually be nearby working from home or workplace.

We’re based between Bellfield and Brunswick, and the role will sometimes be at our home and other times at my work.

We’re looking for someone who is warm, organised, and enjoys working around both children and a creative, community-oriented environment.

Hi.
Looking for a baby sitter to watch and take my kids to there school please.

We are located in Epping vic 3076


They can get up and get ready. I just need the hour basically.

We are a family that lives in St Albans and are looking for a babysitter/nanny to help care for our children. We have two boys aged nearly 3, and 5, with limited family support. They are beautiful energetic little beings, very active and fun to be around. Our older boy is very sensitive and likely neurodiverse, and can struggle to be separate from us (his parents), and to regulate his emotions, which often shows up as jealousy towards his younger brother, which can be hard to manage at times.
We try to spend as much connected 1:1 time with each of them and together as a family, but often neglect domestic tasks and life admin, which is becoming a problem.
Our hope is to introduce a regular babysitter/nanny to them, who can build a trusting relationship, and get to know them, initially at home, to allow us to attend to other tasks/ chores, and in time, to go out with them.
They love being outdoors (we have a big garden) and we spend as much time in nature as we can- they love playgrounds and the skate park. We try to minimise screen time, and they enjoy books, puzzles, jigsaws, as well as bikes, scooters, trampolines etc.
We are hoping for a babysitter/ nanny on a Saturday or Sunday, every fortnight for 3-4 hours. We would love the odd evening out together, and next year our older boy starts school, and will likely need a babysitter/nanny to pick him up from school (local) and care for him between 3pm- 5pm a few days a week. So flexibility is a bonus.
If this sounds like a family you would be interested in working with, please get in touch.
We are flexible, reasonable people, and anything is negotiable for the right person.

I have a 10 week old and a 2.9 year old. With my baby’s nap schedule I feel like I am not providing full enrichment to my 2.9year old. I am looking for someone to take my daughter (2.9) out of the house for activities on Monday (1.30- 4.00) and Saturday (2.00-4.00).

My daughter is active and outgoing. She loves music, going to the park, library and museum, and riding her scooter.

We are currently located in Brunswick East, but once our renovations are complete we will be in Carlton.

8.30am- 11am
Light cleaning duties
Handling baby
General house help
I am after more of a helping hand rather than Babysitting however you will need to be confident to handle a 7 week old baby.

Drop off and or pick up child from school

Hi! We are looking for a regular babysitter for our 5 year old daughter between the hours of 12 and 4pm once or twice a week on Monday, Wednesday and/or Thursday.

Experience working with neurodiverse children is a must. Thanks Brett & Stephanie

We are looking for someone friendly, reliable and responsible who genuinely enjoys helping a busy household stay organised & loves kids 💛
Long term on going role, includes school pick ups, errands, household duties etc.

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.

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
