Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Mount Cottrell VIC

Looking for a baby sitter/nanny to do school drop offs and pickups 5 days a week for our 7 year old and (very) occasional weekend nights watching all 3 (7, 1 and 5 months)

We’re looking for a warm, reliable afternoon nanny to care for our cheerful 6-year-old son (Grade 1) three days a week, midweek.

The role includes school pick-up, bringing him home, and helping him settle into the afternoon. He loves being involved in the kitchen, so we’d love someone who enjoys engaging children in simple meal prep and making everyday routines fun and interactive.

If you’re nurturing, responsible, and enjoy spending time with energetic young kids, we’d love to hear from you!

Hello :)

My name is Carly, and my husband and I are seeking a nanny for one day per week, for our 12 month old boy.
I will be returning to work in June and we have care with family members for a couple of days already.
The third day we are hoping to find a nanny who will come to our house and look after our bub for the day while I work. I will be working from home on this day, so can assist with things like naps in the beginning while he adjusts.
A little bit about our boy, H: He is crawling and cruising and very likely on the verge of taking his first steps!
He loves reading books, climbing, exploring outside, going to the park, dancing to music and walks in the pram.
He is screen free so we’d love for our nanny to come up with montessori style activities and games. However he is very content just hanging out at the park or building (destroying) lego towers.
H is currently on 2 naps per day (total day sleep around 2.5 hours) he’s usually either rocked or fed to sleep and goes down easily although we’d need to practice with a new person putting him to sleep.

The hours would be 8:45am - 5pm roughly, we can be slightly flexible on this.

You will ideally be feeding him lunch, so a small amount of clean up after this would be desired.
During his naps, if there is any light housework such as hanging a load of washing or tidying up toys, etc that would be appreciated.

We live in a small house in Seddon, with a very friendly cat.

Who we’re hoping to find: we’d love a friendly, confident nanny who’s had experience with babies/toddlers. Someone who will become a reliable and trusted person in our life, and a weekly bestie that H looks forward to seeing!

Any questions, please feel free to message me. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello, I'm Jen and I have one nine-year-old daughter named Lola.

From Term 2 (April 21) I'll need a before-school carer on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays to get Lola up and ready for school.

We live next door to the school so that part is easy.
Lola is ADHD and autistic, so needs to be kept on track with getting ready and needs to be given medication before school.

You'd be with Lola from 8.15 - 8.45am, I'd pay for the hour.

Please message me if you'd like to discuss this arrangement.

Yours, Jen

Hi, we are looking for a babysitter who is reliable and flexible and available to start from mid May. My husband and I both work shift work and have always managed it with our current babysitter who is amazing, but she’s starting a new job so we’re now on the hunt for someone new.
We have two boys, one is 3 and the other is 6. Your main role would simply be to look after the kids, play with them, and ensure they are safe. No cooking will be required just organising them breakfast and getting them ready for school/kinder and dropping them off.
My roster has been changed to make it a little more easier to work around so ideally we would need someone on a Monday and Tuesday morning that both my husband and I are working, which won’t be every week but will be told well in advance.
Starting around 6:20am, helping get the kids ready and doing school/kinder drop-off, finishing around 9:20am.
We will rarely need an afternoon however this could be a possibility.
Afternoon shift: starting around 3:00pm, doing school/kinder pick-up and finishing around 7:30–8:00pm on various days told in advance.
The good things is I’m always able to provide a roster in advance so you’ll have plenty of notice of when we’ll need help which you can schedule other work around. Please DM me know if this sounds like it will suit you.

Hello,

I’m looking for a regular nanny/babysitter to join our village so two tired parents can have some time off each week. We want to find someone who can commit and be consistent so the kids can bond and feel safe and secure.

We have two energetic and headstrong children, Juniper who is 8 and Quincy who is 5. Juniper is creative, loves attention and is an expert negotiator. Quincy is more of a shy guy to start with and can take a little bit longer to warm up. He loves to climb and play card/board games, his current favourite is monopoly. Our ideal person would be patient, super fun and playful but also firm when needed.

Ideally we would like it to be every Friday. Sometimes it might be picking them up from school and other times it might be a later start and finish depending what we have on. There could also be some extra babysitting from time to time.

I should also mention we also have a rag doll called Vivo so you must also be ok with cats and fluff!

Please reach out if this sounds like a good fit for you :)

Hello,
We are a young family living in South Yarra and have 7-week-old newborn twins, a boy and a girl. We are looking for an experienced nanny who can help us to look after the twins and perform light housework (putting on a load of washing, stacking a dishwasher, light tidying, folding baby clothes, etc.) Most of the time, one parent would be home during a nannying shift, so the role is essentially providing an extra pair of hands! Sometimes the role would involve looking after the twins so we can go to appointments and meetings.
We are looking for a friendly, nurturing and energetic person who loves children and ideally has experience looking after twins, and is happy to help us around the house. Ideally, we are seeking someone who can help in the mornings from around 9.30-12.30pm, Monday-Friday but we can be flexible on the days/times.
Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you!

We are looking for an experienced, fun and proactive au pair to join our family for 6-12 months! We require help with the children for about 35 hours per week, as well as light house duties, such a tidying, children’s washing and meal preparation. We will provide private accommodation for our au pair (which is a guestshouse separate to the main house) with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, as well as groceries and basic living expenses (such as wifi and netflix).

Please get in touch with any questions :)

We are a single parent house hold, I work full time and have a 6yo & 7yo both boys. My 6yo is getting over welded at school and lashing out at everything in sight. I am in need of someone to care for him while I’m working until I can finish organizing supports for him. I will give more details later but I would need someone to walk him to school a few times a week and stay with home with him on Monday's as the school isn’t a good space for him. Do some play based learning as well where possible and have him clean and tidy after himself where possible. I am aware this is asking a lot, I am happy to be as flexible as I can. We need help and this is just another place I’m hoping to get some.

I am looking for someone who is available to drop off and pick up my son from kindergarten 3 times a week, on a regular basis. The center is a short drive or tram ride away and I would require you to be at our house at 645am so I can head to work.
Look forward from hearing from you
