Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Mitcham VIC

I'm looking for someone to babysit my 18 month old Daughter from 10:30am - 5:30pm once a week (preferably alternating Wednesdays and Fridays)

We will always have someone at home, as my husband works from home and I am a stay-at-home Mum, but I need a day to catch up on things, whilst someone is able to care for our daughter.
Daughter has a stoma but no experience required as her bag will be changed and managed by us

Hi! I’m Sionainn (Shannon) my husband Raph and I are looking for a caring, reliable nanny/housekeeper to join our family two days per week, ideally on either Mondays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.

We have two little ones: Macy (2.5) and Percy (8 months). I work from home running my own business, so I’ll be around during the day but with a busy toddler and a baby who’s on the move, I really need an extra pair of hands to keep everything running smoothly.

The role includes:
• Playing and engaging with Macy (she’s funny, sassy, and full of energy always up for a chat or helping with little “jobs”)
• Caring for Percy (he’s the happiest baby, always smiling and currently learning to crawl)
• Helping with light housekeeping while the kids nap — tidying, folding laundry, unpacking the dishwasher, and keeping things organised around the house

A bit about us

We are a young and easygoing couple, but between us we run three businesses so life is full and very busy. We are also trying to stay healthy, fit in some exercise, and keep up with two small kids at the same time and potentially go on a date night more than once a year.

Macy is in daycare three days a week and off to kinder next year, but we are not quite ready to send Percy yet, so are hoping to find a nanny who can come to the house a couple of days a week. We had a wonderful nanny when Macy was little, but she moved away (and so did we!), so we are really hoping to find someone who can slot in easily and feel comfortable in our home.

We also travel a little bit, so would love to find someone trustworthy who is interested in house sitting when we go away. We would also love someone trustworthy so we can have the occasional date night.

We also have two cats, Boston and Mowgli.

I love to cook, read, and go to the gym when I can. Raph enjoys running marathons when he gets the chance.

We are looking for someone who’s kind, trustworthy, and happy to jump in wherever needed, someone who enjoys being around young kids and doesn’t mind the chaos that comes with it.

UPDATED:

Hours: Approx. 9:30am – 3:30pm
Start date: November 2025 (flexible)
Payment: This role will be paid in accordance with the relevant Modern Award for domestic employees.
Payments will be made fortnightly via bank transfer and will form part of your taxable income.
The role will primarily involve caring for our daughter (2.5 years) and son (9 months) alongside light household support while they nap or play.
Preparing meals and snacks for the children and helping with feeding
Engaging and playing with Macy (funny, sassy, and full of energy)
Caring for Percy (happy, curious, and learning to crawl)

A Bit About Us
We are a young and down-to-earth couple juggling three small businesses and two small children.
I run a HR consulting business, my husband runs a construction company, and he is currently making a career change into mortgage broking, so life is full and busy in the best way.
Our home is warm, relaxed, and tidy (even when life is a little chaotic). We value kindness, communication, and a sense of humour. We are hoping to find someone who can help us maintain balance, create a routine for the kids, and allow us to focus on work knowing they are safe and happy and not sitting in front of a screen while we are trying to work.
We will typically work from home, so this is very much a supportive role, but there will also be times when we are offsite attending client meetings. Our daughter is in daycare three days a week and will be starting kinder in 2026. We occasionally travel, so there may be opportunities for house sitting or evening babysitting if that is of interest.
What We Can Offer
A stable, long-term position with consistent days
A warm, respectful, and welcoming home environment where you will be treated as a valued part of our family’s support team
Clear communication, mutual respect, and a strong sense of trust
Flexibility and understanding, we know life happens and value open, honest conversations
A professional yet relaxed household, where healthy boundaries are respected and professionalism is appreciated on both sides
A competitive hourly rate, based on experience and qualifications

Hi, I’m Zara. I have two little ones — a 2.5-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy.

I’m looking for someone to help us in the evenings (around 5–8pm, Monday to Friday) with dinner, bath, and bedtime routines.

We’re located in Mount Waverley, and there may be some extra casual hours here and there.

Hi there, we require a babysitter for our 10 year old girl & 13 year old boy. They are both quite independent, my son is likely to stay in his room gaming online most the night. My daughter enjoys baking & making bracelets however will likely be happy doing her own thing. We require a babysitter from 5.30pm to12am. Thanks please send me through details on your experience.

Hi babysitters, we have three boys aged 4 months, 3 and 5, and are looking for someone to join our village and help us out on some weekends/evenings! Our gorgeous 3 year old has a disability - his motor development is not delayed but cognitively he is at a 12 month level, so he is always climbing and running but doesn't understand risks/safety - he is a hilarious and joyful handful!! Our 5 year old is a big help with him though and they all go to bed very easily. You wouldn't be on your own with the 3 of them awake - it would just be helping me out at home or taking one of them to the park, those sorts of things! Basically we don't have any family close by and just need a bit of support :) let me know if this interests you! We also have a dog and a cat so if you have allergies we are not the house for you unfortunately!

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.

I am a mum of 2 (5 year old son and 3 year old daughter), both of my kids are quite easy going and loves books, LEGO and trains!

We are looking for a babysitter for 3 days a week, Monday, Thursday and Friday (most half-day afternoons and some full days too). We would require you to play with the kids, read them books and give them snacks and food; also, do minimal tidying up around the house, like keeping toys in order, loading the dishwasher, etc. I work from home most days, so I will be around if you need any help.

We live in Canterbury (close to East Camberwell and Canterbury train stations).

Looking forward to meeting you!

We are full time working parents looking for someone to help out with after school activities for our 9 year old son and 6 year old daugther.

Specifically we need someone who can pick them up from school at 3:30pm on Wednesday and Friday each week, take them to swimming lessons at GESAC and then bring them home and keep them entertained until we finish work, usually around 6-6:30pm.

We may also require occassional babysitting on other days of the week or weekends.

We have a nanny position available at our house. We have three beautiful kids who are 4, 9 and 12. We have had a wonderful, much-loved nanny with us for the last 3.5 years but she is (very sadly) moving on.

We are a very lovely family, focused on supporting our kids to grow into great human beings. However life is a bit chaotic (we also have 2 overly-friendly dogs and three chickens). We are an extremely busy household with two parents who work long hours in stressful jobs. So the nanny role is extremely important to us - it’s a huge factor in whether our family is happy and functional.

We are looking for someone to work mornings and evenings M/T/W (7.30 - 9.30, then 3 - 6pm) and then a full day (7.30 - 6pm) on Thursday. The role is mainly caring for children, with some cooking, cleaning, laundry, house support, etc. You would be properly employed, with super, annual leave, etc.

Please let us know if you’d like to learn more. :)

Hi there

I am keen for someone who can spend 2 hours (330-530pm ) 3-4 times a week with my son who is 4yo.

Play , read , write etc
