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.

We are looking for a babysitter for our 8.5 year old son Nicholas. We would mostly need help in the afternoon hours, likely 2-3 hours at a time. It will likely be once per week, but the day will vary.
Nicholas is ADHD/autistic, and can be hyperactive or impulsive at times and does need a lot of 1:1 interaction. He is very creative and fun-loving and does really well when he has someone to engage with 1:1. He is verbal, but can sometimes be a little hard to understand, but once you get to know him it's usually fine.
We have lots of toys and games at home that can be used for play. We'd love to have a babysitter who could engage with Nicholas in physical games and play.
We would initially like our babysitter to spend time with Nicholas in our home, while one of us is at home as well, until we all get to know each other. Then after some time, it would be good if Nicholas could be with our babysitter while we run errands or perhaps have a much needed night out.

We are a 2-dad family looking for an experienced nanny to provide childcare for our friendly & energetic 3-year old boy for 1-day (Thursday) per week from 7.30am-6pm. You should be suitably qualified with a number of years experience with toddlers.

Applicants with experience supporting the changing needs of a medical/executive family a plus. Applicants must have current Police Check and Working With Children. First Aid training ideal. Bi-lingual applicants encouraged, including those with a keen interest in infant education through visual & verbal interaction and play.

Applicants must be comfortable working with a dog in the house. He's anxious at first, but will warm up over time.

We're looking for someone who can commit to a long term position and is very reliable. Please don't hesitate to send me a message to discuss this role further.

We're looking forward to hearing from you.

I am searching for a Nanny at the moment for Mon-Tue 3-6pm until Dec 9 (days flexible, but two afternoons).

We go on holiday then but are back mid Jan and would then hopefully be able to arrange some holiday hours and then back to M-T for term time.

The right nanny would need a car to collect from school but also a warm nature, but ability to work with my high energy 3.5 year old (the 6 year old is generally pretty easy).

Please let me know if this sounds like the right fit for you.

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.

Nanny required Monday to Friday for before and after school hours. Mainly to drop at school in Balwyn then pick up and drive to activities. Some general cooking and cleaning required. Main focus is to keep the kids entertained and assist with homework where possible. Ages 9 & 11.

This is an ongoing role so we need someone with abailability next yeat also.

We run on a fortnightky cycle:
Week A - Monday, Tuesday & Thursday (3 days)
Week B - Monday to Friday (5 days)
There is alao the option to job share and we coild offer just Mondays & Fridays.

Must have own car and be abailable on going.

Our lovely baby sitter is moving, so we’re seeking a reliable babysitter to assist with daycare and school pickup during the week. We live in Pascoe Vale and have two Swaussie (Swedish/Aussie) girls, aged 3 and 6. They enjoy going to the park, animals (we have an elderly dog and a cat), arts and crafts, reading books, and dancing. They’re very entertaining and enjoyable to be around, though they do have occasional meltdowns when it’s time to leave the park. We’re always happy to help if that happens if you struggle. :)

The role involves picking them up at 3 pm from daycare or school two days a week (we can be flexible with it being Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday!). You’ll most likely take them to the park for a hour before we arrive home around 5 pm. They enjoy outdoor activities, but we only have a small yard, so visiting the park would be ideal.

We’re looking for a 20+ female who is confident, creative, playful, honest, safety-minded, reliable, and positive. A personal car is necessary for this role, as the school is about a 10-minute drive from our house. We’ll provide the car seats, but ideally, you’d be comfortable having them in most weeks (we’re happy to reinstall them every once in a while.

We want our kids to get the most out of their childhood, especially through play, and hope to find someone who can help facilitate that. We’ll pay a casual rate and you’ll need insurance. You’ll need to keep phone use to a minimum when you’re with the kids. Besides than that we’re pretty flexible and easy going. We’d hope you could commit to about a year if we’re a good fit. Our current babysitter is happy to be a reference for us.

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.

Looking for a baby sitter this Thursday 13th November from 6pm for about 5 hours. We have a 7 and 4 year old. Looking to prep a pre made meal, do evening activities, reading and bed time. Looking for someone to do casual sitting over the next 3 months while we are in Melbourne.

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

Alexandra et Euzebiusz (Zeb)

(French speaking applicants only, please!)
