Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Merrimu VIC

🌟 Help Needed for Busy Single Mum!🌟

Are you an early riser with a heart for helping? I’m a single mum working full-time, and I need assistance on Tuesday mornings. I leave the house at 6 AM and require someone to take my girls to daycare and before-school care.

If you’re reliable, caring, and available to lend a hand, please reach out! Your support would mean the world to us. 🙏✨

We are looking for someone friendly, reliable and responsible who genuinely enjoys helping a busy household stay organised & loves kids 💛
Long term on going role, includes school pick ups, errands, household duties etc.

We are a family that lives in St Albans and are looking for a babysitter/nanny to help care for our children. We have two boys aged nearly 3, and 5, with limited family support. They are beautiful energetic little beings, very active and fun to be around. Our older boy is very sensitive and likely neurodiverse, and can struggle to be separate from us (his parents), and to regulate his emotions, which often shows up as jealousy towards his younger brother, which can be hard to manage at times.
We try to spend as much connected 1:1 time with each of them and together as a family, but often neglect domestic tasks and life admin, which is becoming a problem.
Our hope is to introduce a regular babysitter/nanny to them, who can build a trusting relationship, and get to know them, initially at home, to allow us to attend to other tasks/ chores, and in time, to go out with them.
They love being outdoors (we have a big garden) and we spend as much time in nature as we can- they love playgrounds and the skate park. We try to minimise screen time, and they enjoy books, puzzles, jigsaws, as well as bikes, scooters, trampolines etc.
We are hoping for a babysitter/ nanny on a Saturday or Sunday, every fortnight for 3-4 hours. We would love the odd evening out together, and next year our older boy starts school, and will likely need a babysitter/nanny to pick him up from school (local) and care for him between 3pm- 5pm a few days a week. So flexibility is a bonus.
If this sounds like a family you would be interested in working with, please get in touch.
We are flexible, reasonable people, and anything is negotiable for the right person.

We’re looking for a fun, caring and energetic nanny to look after our little boy, Levi (2 years old), one day a week from 8am–4pm. Tuesday preferred.

We’d love someone who:
• Enjoys spending time with toddlers
• Can plan fun and engaging activities
• Is warm, patient and reliable
• Has a Working With Children Check and First Aid Certificate

I work from home, so I’ll be around if you ever need a hand, but Levi will be your main focus during the day.

If you love little ones and enjoy creating a playful, caring environment, we’d love to hear from you! 💛

Please send me a quick message with a bit about yourself and your experience.

We could also have more hours and days added as the role evolves. Eg helping out in evenings, weekend babysitting etc as we also have a 4 year old

I’m looking for someone kind, gentle, and reliable who can spend a today until 3pm playing and hanging out with my 3-year-old daughter, Faith, so that I can get some work done. She loves drawing, Play-Doh, stories, rainbows, and imaginative play. The role is mainly about keeping her happy, safe, and engaged — no housework needed.

Ideal for someone with a Working With Children Check and experience caring for young children.

I am in Point Cook

Hello! We are a family of five living on a farm near Tylden. We are requiring a babysitter two afternoons a week. Role will include kindergarten pick up, meeting two school aged kids at the bus, afternoon play, feeding some animals, dinner preparation and bath time. Some general house cleaning/tidying when time permits. Happy to chat if you are interested!

Interested in after school care for 2 primary school boys - to assist with pick up from school (less than 500m from home) and some assistance with reading/home work (roughly 2 to 3 hours each day, two to 3 days a week with some occasional extra days). Also include taking one of the boys to the guitar lessons one day a week (nearby but will require driving). Hours and rate negotiable (e.g. quality of care etc).

Hi there

We are looking for a caring and nurturing nanny for our two girls. I have recently returned back to work 3 days a week and will increase to 5 days in February.

Our eldest daughter is 5 and is currently in kindergarten 5 days a week from 8.45 - 3.00 pm. She commences school holidays on 10 December. Next year she will commence school in Moonee Ponds. We will need assistance with pick up and drop off and playing activities with her after school.

Our youngest daughter is currently 8.5 months. We will need assistance from approximately 8 am until 5.30/6 pm two days a week (starting from Feb 2026). The days required will be Monday and Thursday. The remaining days of the week, the children will be cared for by their grandparents.

We would like to engage the nanny this year so the kids get used to you (before I return full time to work). We would love for the nanny to work on a Friday only until Feb 2026.

In summary:

- Starting from 12 December 2025 (Friday each week) noting we are away from 26 December - 12 January. Both girls will be required to be cared for all day.
- Monday and Thursday from 23 February 2026. Baby all day and 5 year old post pick up from school.

Looking forward to connecting with you.

Take care of my toddler Penelope (birthday 31/07/24) on Mondays and Thursdays while I work from home. Start at 8:30am and finish at 4pm at our Moonee Ponds house.

Must like dogs - we have a cavoodle.

Penelope's middle-of-day nap is usually 2 hours-long. Household chores during this time.

Ideally would be open to coming more often for some half days from May 2026 onwards as we are expecting a baby then and may need extra support.

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.

Our family are looking for a caring, responsible and fun person to care for our three year old and 5 year old on a casual basis. We are expecting our third child in December so we need some extra hands around the house to help out. We are hoping to find the right person for our family so that we can have someone reliable who can help us out during the summer school holidays (days and times to be confirmed) and on an ongoing basis next year on a Friday morning and also casual nighttime babysitting. We also have two small dogs.
We don’t have family close by so would appreciate someone who can do school/kinder drop off/ pick up. Light housework would also be appreciated.

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.
