Looking for a wonderful nanny in Hawthorn 3122
Start date: February 2026
Pay: $35–$40/hr (depending on experience)
We are looking for a confident, caring, creative and reliable nanny to look after our two boys aged 3 and 4 on Tuesdays (8:30 am to 5:00 pm) and Fridays (8:30 am to 4:00 pm).
This is a part-time nanny role caring for two young children during the business day. It would ideally suit an experienced nanny whose current family’s circumstances are changing next year and who is looking for their next ongoing position.
We have had a wonderful experience with our current nanny over the past year, and as she begins a placement for her Early Childhood Education studies next year, she will only be available one day a week. We are looking for someone to join our family and care for the boys across both days on an ongoing basis. We would love to find someone who is looking for a long-term role throughout 2026.
The boys attend kindergarten on the other days, so these two days are focused on park adventures, exploring, kicking the football and having fun. They love playgrounds, the library, picnics and little outings, and we are hoping to find someone who enjoys planning engaging days with them.
Both parents work from home. We also have a Groodle, so being comfortable around dogs is important.
Ideally, you will:
• Have experience caring for preschool-aged children
• Enjoy play-based learning and creative, hands-on activities
• Be kind, patient and confident managing two young children
• Hold a Working With Children Check and police check
• Have a driver’s licence, own car ideal
• Be comfortable with light household tidying related to the boys such as meals, toys and laundry
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Please send a short note about your experience, availability, and why you think this role would be a good fit for you.
Hello Nannies,
We are a family who have always had wonderful Nannies help us. Our current nanny just landed an internship in Sydney starting at the end of this month so finishes up with us next week. We are looking for someone who is available M, T, W, T & F 3:15pm-6:30pm (we can be flexible on Fridays). Our boys are 7 &9 and have a busy sports schedule after school. The role involves picking them up from school, getting them to afternoon sport, then getting them home for showers and cooking their dinner.

You will also have school holidays off as we tend to go interstate to see family. Start date end of November. If this sounds like it is of interest, please get in touch. Thank you, Whitney

I am looking for someone who is available to drop off and pick up my son from kindergarten on a regular basis. The center is a short tram ride away and I would require you to be at our house at 645am so I can head to work.
Our two children are nearly six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking for a long-term nanny to become a new part of our family and help provide stability and security.
We need:
- Afternoons, 2-7pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Mum and Dad arrive home just before 7pm)

Our kids are energetic and bright, and love reading, crafting, puzzles and games. Our family enjoys learning about languages, cultures and the natural world. We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). We use structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Our ideal nanny has high emotional intelligence, is calm, patient, caring and understanding with children, particularly during times of high emotions. They value children’s voices and opinions and can support them with co-regulation when needed. They see themselves as more than a babysitter, take pride in their important position in the lives of children and have open communication with parents. Certificate III or higher in childcare would be desirable.
We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.

Our six year old has autism so needs a patient and kind person, ideally with experience with neurodiverse children. Ideally you would be available for school holiday care too.
School pick up could be by car or bus (so drivers licence would be good but not essential).
