🌟 We’re Looking for Our Newest Family Member! 🌟

Hi there!
We’re a loving family of four — Haydn (Dad), Chelsea (Mum), Tilly (2 years old) and Jax (1 year old) — and we’re on the lookout for someone very special to join our little team.

I’ve recently returned to work (mainly from home, with the occasional office day), and juggling work while caring for two little ones has proven to be a bit more of a challenge than I imagined! So, we’re hoping to find a kind, reliable, and nurturing nanny to help support our busy household.

We’re looking for someone who:
✨ Loves working with young children
✨ Is warm, patient, and engaging
✨ Feels comfortable caring for a toddler and a baby
✨ Is happy to be part of a relaxed, family-oriented environment

This role would involve caring for Tilly and Jax during the day — playing, supporting naps and meals, and helping them learn and grow — while I focus on work. We ideally need 2 x 6-8 hour days but we can be somewhat flexible on these days and times. I’ll often be at home, so we’re really hoping to find someone who feels like an extension of our family.
If you’re caring, energetic, and looking to become part of a fun, loving home, we’d love to hear from you! 💛

Please reach out with your experience and availability — we can’t wait to meet you!

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.

My ex-husband has changed jobs and can't get our children to childcare & before school care on Fridays and every second Monday. He would need someone at his house by 5:30 and then get the kids to childcare and before school care by 7am. Both childcare and before school care are a short 5min drive. You would just be required to dress the kids and ensure our daughters lunchbox is packed and in her bag. Job would be until further notice.

Hi, I'm looking for a part time nanny for my daughter aged 19 months, on Wednesdays 8.30am - 2pm with occasional additional shifts on other days to cover for other carers. The daily routine includes giving morning tea, lunch and settling her down for a nap after lunch. During school holidays and occasionally looking after my older daughter aged 5 as well. Experience with preschoolers would be preferred.

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.

Location: Ivanhoe (School Drop off is also in Ivanhoe).

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.

We are looking for someone to join our family full time (Monday to Friday - 7.30am to 5.30pm). We welcomed our twins in late October and have an almost 4 year old who goes to childcare full time. We are a very busy household with both parents working full time. The role will be full time, and we will pay a full time salary + super and leave entitlements. Start date March/April depending on availability.

We would be looking for someone who will be part of our family and:
- Has experience looking after twins or multiple children (6 month +)
- Understands key development milestones and supports children with appropriate activities to achieve them
- Is a well rounded caregiver and loves what they do
- Is reliable (mum travels for work and we will need someone whom the family can depend on as we don't have any family nearby)

Duties:
- Sole focus on the twins
- Feeding, playing, development activities, putting to bed, bathing etc
- Folding babies laundry and doing their washing if its required
- Keeping the house tidy - putting away baby toys, clothing etc at the end of the day when they are finished for the day, emptying dishwasher if used. Cleaner comes fortnightly.

We are a family in Preston with a 3yo boy and 9yo girl. My wife and I are looking for help with pickups and dropoffs from childcare and before/after school care, most days of the week. There will be occasional evening care required until bedtime. Drop offs approx 7.30-8.30, pickups 4.30-6.30.

We are looking for a reliable person to get to know and grow with our children.

We are looking for a regular babysitter to help look after our children aged 3, 6 and 8. We have two loving German Shepherds so dog lovers would be great. We are an easy going family that really needs some help.

Look forward to hearing from you.
