Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Malvern East VIC

Hi everyone! We are a family of 5 (Ash, Matt, Maxi, Lily & Harper) living in Malvern East. We are looking for a part time nanny to care for our two daughters Lily (age 4) and Harper (age 3) and on the very rare occasion our son Max (age 5). The girls go to daycare/Kinder 4 days a week so there will be some driving/school drop offs and pick ups and some light house work/meal prep when they are not around. The occasional evening or weekend would be appreciated but not expected or essential.

The schedule would look like this:

Monday/Fridays - drop off at school (hours need 9am-11am) and then pick up from school (3pm-5pm)

Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday- 9-5pm

Total hours : 32 hours (approximately and negotiable)

Hello,

I (Candice) am looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to work every second Thursday (be available all day as time does slightly change) and every second Sunday (12-5pm) and there may be extra days to fill in for other carers or to look after my 14y old son at night. Someone who can commit as this is a long-term position (not just school holidays).

I have 2 kids,17g and 14b. The job entails cooking meals, running errands, driving kids to friend's places and light housework. I am looking for someone to start immediately as I need the support, I have brain cancer which causes fatigue/memory issues.

We are looking for someone patient, nurturing and dependable. You must have a valid driver’s license and your own car. If this is something that you think would fit, please contact us. Also, an ABN is required.

Thank you!

I’m a single mum to four school-aged children (8B, 10G, 13B, 15B) in Malvern East and am currently looking for a part-time nanny/family assistant to support with school pick-ups, after-school care, the occasional weekend/mornings, general routines and light household assistance. We’re a warm but busy household, and I’m looking for someone who is kind, reliable and grounded — a steady presence for the children.

This role would suit someone who is calm under pressure, enjoys children, and is confident managing school routines and after-school care.

I'm looking for someone who values consistency, warmth and clear communication. Someone reliable, organised and emotionally attuned with a little bit of flexibility as my schedule changes.

If this sounds like it could be a good fit, I’d love to hear a little about your experience, availability and what you’re looking for in a role.

Warmly,
Domenica
