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.

Hi
We are a family of 4 based in Burnside Heights. We are looking for a casual nanny to assist with school drop offs for our 6 year old and helping to care for our 3 month old. This is because Dad works and we also run an online business so we need help with the baby so Mum can call customers, process orders etc. School is a 7 minute walk from our home.

Our ideal candidate would have experience as a nanny or au pair, experienced with newborns, and can assist with sleep and settling. You will enjoy playing or engaging with babies and young children.

We are looking for 2-3 days per week during the school term, hours would typically be 8am-1pm. But occasionally we may require assistance in the afternoons or on weekends or on schools holidays on an ad hoc basis. These would be discussed and agreed in advance based on availability. If this sounds like the ideal role for you, we’d love to hear from you.

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.

We are Johanna and Dejan, and we are looking for a caring nanny to join our little family and look after our adorable boy, Leo, who is currently 8 months old.
I am on maternity leave until 30 March 2026, when I will return to work. We would love to find someone reliable, gentle and attentive, available 3 days per week (minimum one-year commitment, with the possibility to continue in 2027).

🗓 Schedule (April – December 2026)
Days: Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
Hours: 8:00am – 5:00pm

🏡 Location: East Melbourne 3002

✅ Must-haves:
• Valid Working With Children Check (WWCC)
• Current First Aid certificate
• Availability at least until the end of 2026

✨ Bonus:
• Ability to speak French

We are a warm, respectful and flexible family who values communication and the well-being of the person caring for Leo. We want our nanny to feel appreciated, supported and fully included in our daily life.

We are starting our search now so we can offer a few occasional days before March, a great opportunity to get to know Leo, build a bond gently, and make sure we are the right “match” for one another.

If you’re looking for a family to work with in an environment of trust and good vibes, we would be very happy to chat with you!

After school care including school pick up for our 4 and 6 year old boys (4 year old goes to kinder on school site) 2:45-4:30pm. Our six year old has autism so needs a patient and kind person, ideally with experience with neurodiverse children. Ideally you would be available for school holiday care too.

School pick up could be by car or bus (so drivers licence would be good but not essential).

I’m a single mum looking for a reliable, patient and attentive carer to be an extra pair of hands with my two kids (a 4-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl). Both are bright, hilarious little humans who are also neurospicy (ADHD/autistic traits) and sometimes struggle with emotional regulation, transitions and tired end-of-day feelings.

This is an ongoing arrangement, not a short-term role. I’m hoping to find someone who can commit for at least the next 4 months (ideally longer) and become a consistent, familiar face for the kids (and our hairless dog).

The kids are absolute sweethearts - they just need someone who “gets” them, can see past the tricky moments, and help them feel safe and regulated.

Your role:
• Collect from daycare (Fitzroy) & after school care (Clifton Hill)
• Drive kids home to Fitzroy
• Prepare simple kid-friendly meals
• Supervise showers, help with PJs, stories and settling into bed
• Provide calm, caring support with big feelings/meltdowns when they happen

Occasional Mondays may also include:
• Caring for my 4-year-old during the day
• Taking him to his swimming lesson and other appointments

Very occasional Saturdays might also pop up and could include:
• Hanging out with both kids while I’m at work (think parks, play, crafts)
• Taking the 6-year-old to their swimming lesson (Clifton Hill) while you chill on the sidelines with the 4-year-old
• Keeping them entertained, safe and fed through the day until I’m home from work

PLEASE NOTE **hours will vary week to week**

My work hours can be unpredictable, so I’m hoping to find someone who can be a bit flexible and is comfortable with a changing schedule (always with as much notice as I can give).

About you
• Genuinely enjoy kids and are warm, playful and kind
• Calm and patient, especially with emotional ups and downs
• Reliable, organised and good with routines
• Experience with autistic/ADHD or other neurodivergent kids is highly preferable
• Comfortable with basic cooking and light end-of-day kid chores

Requirements
• Own car
• Appropriate child seats (or willing to make an arrangement)
• WWCC (or willing to obtain)
• First Aid/CPR a big plus

**WAGE is negotiable depending on experience**

If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear a bit about your experience, availability and why you think you’d be a good fit for this spicy little crew.
