Hello 👋

We’re looking for a reliable, friendly person to hang out with our 6-year-old daughter before school, then walk her to school nearby.

2 mornings a week — days are flexible
7:30am–9:30am | $100 per shift

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear a little about you, your experience with kids and your availability.

Hello, our names are Anna and Mike, and we live in Fitzroy North. We have two young daughters — Evie (3½) and Juliet (just over one). We are looking for a part‑time nanny to care for them two full days per week while we are working in the city.

The role includes caring for the girls, taking them on local adventures (parks, museums, play activities), preparing their meals, and creating a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment. We’re hoping to find someone who is energetic, kind, and an all‑round legend — someone the girls will genuinely enjoy spending time with.

We would also appreciate some light household assistance, such as tidying up at the end of the day or helping with dinner prep before we get home. Anything that helps keep the household running smoothly is a huge bonus.

The typical workday would be from 8:00am to 5:30/6:00pm, with some flexibility. We can be flexible with days, but ideally we’re looking for Monday and Wednesday, or Monday and Friday. We would also love additional help over the school holidays, when the girls are home more and we may need extra support.

Essentials:

Location: Fitzroy North

Hours: 8:00am – 5:30/6:00pm (flexible)

Requirements: Valid driver’s licence, Working With Children Check, and references

I am looking for a reliable, long-term nanny for my four-year-old daughter. She needs to be picked up four afternoons a week. We live in an apartment with on-street parking available, and I’m looking for someone with a car who is comfortable doing pickups and driving her home, for one hour with the flexibility to stay up to three hours if required.

I’m hoping to find someone warm, dependable and experienced who can become a consistent part of her routine.

Hi, I’m Whitney, and I'm currently looking for someone reliable to help as I head back to work next month.

We have three children aged 9, 6 and 2½, and we've never needed to use anyone other than our parents for childcare.

Unfortunately, my husband's mum hasn't been in the best health recently, and my mum has a three-week trip booked starting the first week of my new job (it's always the way!).

My husband and I have often talked about how nice it would be to have someone we know, trust and can rely on whenever we need an extra helping hand.

The main role would be caring for our youngest, Lenny, who is 2½. He attends childcare on Wednesdays, so we'd be looking for care on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during the three weeks my mum is away. After that, we'd likely need help one or two days a week to help share the load.

I'd love to have a chat about what we're looking for and see if it might fit with your availability.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Whitney
