Hello, I am looking for a nanny who could assist with morning kinder drop off and afternoon pick up, post care after pick-up for 1 or 2 days a week, and occasional care during the day on Saturday from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (18m). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Fridays (9am-12pm (3hrs) and/or 2-5pm (3hrs)) starting on a weekly basis from 16 Jan 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria), cleaning/housework.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!

We’re hoping to find someone warm, energetic, and genuinely engaged with little ones. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Hi everyone.

We are a family of four living in Eaglemont, just down the road from Eaglemont station. My husband and I both work full time and are looking for someone to support us with afternoon for our six year old daughter in year 1 and 4 year old son who is in kinder.

The more critical hours are Monday and Tuesday afternoon, otherwise we are open to discussing hours, including whether a morning shift in addition to afternoon is required, or whether an early finish in the afternoon is needed.

The job will include picking kids up from school, daycare or kinder, helping our daughter with some basic homework, some minor things around the house like bringing in washing, unpacking the dishwasher. The key thing for us is though is the kids happiness, so this is the main job!

There is also opportunity for some full time days over the school holidays.

Must have WWCC, driver’s license.

$30-$35/hr depending on experience and level of support willing to provide.

Hi
I am looking for a sitter for my 13 year old son who is attending high school in Kew. We live in Balwyn North.
At the moment, I need afterschool pick up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On Wednesdays this includes driving him to swimming as well.
On occasion, I need evening care when I have work commitments. And may need morning support occasionally when I am travelling.
I am looking for a reliable sitter with a car and with experience in caring for older children.

Hi! We’re Jess and Sam, and we’re looking for a casual weekday nanny to spend time with our gorgeous 15-month-old daughter, Hazel.

Hazel is a happy, curious and adventurous little girl who loves to play, explore and connect with people. We’re really hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with toddlers — someone who loves getting down on the floor to play, heading outside, and engaging with her in a fun, warm and playful way.

We’re also expecting our second baby at the end of March, so we’d love to find someone who feels like a good fit with our family and can get to know Hazel before her little sibling arrives. The role is very much about enjoying Hazel and keeping her engaged — light cooking or tidying would be a bonus but not the priority.

Jess is a clinical psychologist and Sam is a psychiatrist, both specialising in child and adolescent mental health. We live on a large block of land and spend a lot of time outdoors, so someone who enjoys nature and being outside would be a great match.

Above all, we’re looking for someone kind, reliable and playful who will adore Hazel as much as we do, and help make this transition into life with a newborn a little smoother for our family.

If this sounds like something you’d like, we’d really like to hear from you.

Looking for a nanny/ babysitter on Friday afternoons to look after our 3.5 yr old plus occasional evening babysitting.

I am due to have another baby soon and need assistance with our 3.5 yr old child, looking after and entertaining her. She is an energetic girl and afternoons would be spent taking her to the park, playing games, baking with her etc. Mainly doing the fun stuff but still a bit of light cleaning up after meal times and tidying toys etc. (Maybe occasional folding and loading/ unloading dishwasher).

We also have a 2 year old Golden Retriever so must love dogs!

We would also require someone who could do occasional evening or weekend daytime babysitting.

On top of this, (although we don’t have a holiday currently booked due to our pending arrival of baby #2), our family loves to travel so we would be looking for someone who could accompany us on (mainly) overseas holidays to look after the kids and be a spare set of hands. We would discuss how these trips would work in further detail in person.

Overall, we are seeking someone responsible, reliable, energetic, who takes initiative, is proactive and adaptable.

As well as this, you will have experience working with young children, current WWC and first aid training.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch.

We look forward to hearing from you!

I've provided an outline all of the practical details of the job first.
Beneath that there is an ‘A little bit about us’ followed by the details of who we're looking for!

Job details:
Days and hours: 4 x 3.5 hour shifts per fortnight
Week one: Tuesday 5:30am – 9am
Week two: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 5:30am – 9am.

Pay rate: $34-$40 an hour, depending on qualifications and experience.

Shift type: Before School Care, assistance with morning routine and getting ready for school, followed by school drop off.
Number of children: You’d be caring for our gorgeous and delightful 6 year old boy.

Car: Require your own car to do school drop off.
The school is a 6-10 minute / 2.9km drive from our home.
We’d supply a car seat to use, including training in how to properly and safely fit and remove it.
Reimbursement for use of car is in line with the ATO rate: 88c per kilometer to cover petrol, insurance and usage etc. Given the distances are fixed, that’d be about $25 a fortnight.

Position duration: 12 months or longer.
*During the school holidays the hours may reduce a little bit however I’ll still need about 1-3 days a fortnight, as I’ll still mostly be working. Public holidays which change my RDOs may reduce the hours here and there as well.

Start date: Tuesday the 24/2/26.
We’d have one short meet and greet before that, and then ideally Monday 23/2/26 one practice shift (paid) with me there the whole time, including coming with me to drop off and to introduce you to his foundation teacher so she knows who you are.

Must have:
Current working with children check
Car and drivers license
Police check
Parent references

A little bit about us:

Our little boy is a confident, kind, happy 6 year old who loves animals, trains, understanding his world and learning to be independent.
He is curious, asks lots of questions, hearing the answers, learning new things, telling you about them and loves mastering new tasks.
He understands himself well and is very good at advocating for himself, and he knows that we will listen to him and believe him. He loves music and singing to music.
He loves school and his friends at school.

We need this help as we both need to leave for work early however we are pretty engaged parents, with a lot of family support close by as well, and we’ll ensure that you are well supported and have everything you need to do this caregiving role well!

Our brand of parenting is one driven by best practice, data, reliable resources (raising children network, RCH guidelines, advice from GPs and other paediatric resources), principals that support children’s emotional wellbeing and the fundamental respect for a child’s space to grow, explore who they are, play, be silly, funny and cheeky and learn about their world!

We’re looking for someone who:
-has pro-social skills (Empathy, respect, kindness and gratitude) and because of these generally has positive interactions with others (a wordy way of saying you’re just generally a nice person!)
-understands and values being on the same side of children, and building a positive narrative around them.
-has a strong understanding and respect for the importance of body safe rules, child safe rules and safe adult rules.
-understands the importance of finding and giving them small opportunities frequently to succeed at things and celebrating these and them.
-genuinely sees children as equal, worthy and important individuals with autonomy and agency.
-ideally, has experience working with 6 year olds, and thus an approximate understanding of where a 6 year old is at developmentally and patience for what they can and cannot do.

After 7 years, our much-loved babysitter is starting to her graduate job, so we’re on the hunt for the next superstar (or two) to join our busy, fun, and friendly family.

We’re looking for 1–2 savvy, capable people to help with after-school life:
• Light “Uber driving” between school, sport training sessions and home
• Dinner / food prep and helping the afternoon run smoothly
• Keep the household running (put washing on, pick up ‘click & collect’ groceries, make sure uniforms are ready etc)

We’re looking for someone who has loads of initiative and understands what’s needed for a busy house to keep going.

Our kids are aged 12–16, independent and great company, and our household also includes a beautiful Mini Groodle who provides endless entertainment and excellent morale support.

🕒 Hours: Monday–Thursday, approx. 3–7pm
✨ Flexibility: We’re genuinely flexible and open to job-sharing
👤 Would suit: Uni student or mature age person looking for reliable, ongoing work
📍 Location: Kew East

This is a long-term role in a respectful home where you’ll be trusted, appreciated, and very much part of the team. We value initiative, warmth, and someone who can juggle a few moving parts with humour.

If this sounds like you — or someone you know — we’d love to hear from you.
