Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in North Melbourne VIC

Hey Sitters!

We’re a fun, easy-going couple in our 30s looking for a lovely babysitter to help us out occasionally, mostly evenings and weekends when work or social events pop up.

Our little girl is a happy, fuss-free bub who loves her walks and has a pretty good routine going. She does have mild eczema, so we’re after someone who’s comfortable following a few simple care steps to keep her comfy.

We’re a relaxed, friendly family who’d love to find someone caring, reliable, and great with babies and who’ll fit right in with our laid-back vibe.

Nos deux enfants, Isidore (7 ans) et Artémis (4 ans), sont des enfants australiens bilingues. Ce sont des enfants assez sages qui adorent lire, dessiner, et qui regardent très peu les écrans. Ils ont fait 6 mois d’école en France en 2024, et nous habitons actuellement à Fitzroy.

Nous cherchons une babysitteuse française ou francophone qui peut garder les enfants lundi, mardi et/ou mercredi de 15h à 18h, c'est à dire:
- chercher les enfants a l'école et kindergarten (à North Fitzroy et pas loin loin de l'autre)
- déposer les enfants à des activités (judo et cours de piano, à Abbotsford et chez nous à Fitzroy)
- cuisiner un repas simple du soir certains jours

Les voyages se feront idéalement en utilisant votre propre voiture. Nous n'avons pas de voiture - par contre nous avons un vélo cargo electrique qui peut etre utilisé si la babysitteuse est très expérimentée avec les vélos.

En tout cas nous cherchons quelqu'un qui peut aider les enfants à continuer de parler et lire en français. Ça serait idéale pour quelqu’un qui aime les langages et les livres.

Merci et n’hésitez pas à nous contacter par la messagerie ici si vous etes disponibles pour une, deux, ou trois apres-midis par semaine

We go on holiday then but are back mid Jan and would then hopefully be able to arrange some holiday hours and then back to M-T for term time.

Please let me know if this sounds like the right fit for you.

Our family of five is looking for a new nanny in 2026. Start date late Jan/early Feb. We have three girls (twins nearly 5yr and 7.5yr) and we live in Northcote. We are ideally looking for someone to work Wednesdays 8am-6pm and Fridays 8am-5pm. There is also an option of additional hours on a Thursday. The girls are busy with activities, so a clean drivers licence is essential.

We have had wonderful nannies in the past, who have become like family. We value kindness, reliability and safe care. We think of ourselves as quite easy going and we would treat our future nanny with respect and fairness. We value what our nanny has to bring to our family. The girls love to be active and draw, sing, dress up, craft and play in the garden. Our ideal nanny would help our household function well with cooking and help with laundry and cleaning.

Hi there!
Our family is looking for a nanny for Tuesdays from 8:15am-5:30pm (however we are open to increasing these hours to Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays).
We're a young family based in Kew and have a 3 year old and 1 year old twins.
Our 3 year old will attend Kinder down the road from 9:15am-2:15pm on Tuesdays, so the day will consist of walking him down to Kinder with the twins and then hanging out with the babies until he finishes. Then ideally heading to the park for a play and feeding them all an early dinner. If possible some light household duties would be done in the babies naptime but not a necessity.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello!

We'd love to meet a babysitter for casual babysitting on Friday mornings for about 3 hours each week.

👩‍🎨 About the role:
We have a clever and quirky 3.5 year old!

The role will be about 3 hours per week on a Friday. We're hoping this can be an ongoing role, but we tend to decide week-to-week if the babysitting day is needed, so we have listed it as casual. The shift is a three hour shift on Friday mornings (9:30AM - 12:30PM tends to work). We work from home, so generally one or both of us will be home during the shift - but in a different area of the house.

📝 About you:
We are looking for someone who has experience working with children of a similar age. You have an interest in teaching young ones about life! We're looking to meet someone who is attentive, nurturing, patient, fun, caring, gentle and calm. We're looking to meet someone who has the energy to keep his developing mind busy (he's go go go!) He is sensitive and responds well to calm play (not too loud or intense).

He's just started kinder (first time being away from his folks), so he's been particularly sensitive lately - we are hoping to meet someone who has experience with 3 year olds and knows how to manage the occasional tanty and can help him with his general independence as he enters into this new chapter.

👦 About the client:
Our 3.5 year old is a beautiful, quirky, clever and loves (LOVES) to chat! He loves when he is engaging with his favourite games and conversations - vehicles, numbers, learning new words and languages, maths, arts and crafts, reading, puzzles, books, quizzes, singing and imaginary play with his toys. He's a busy boy!

He is potty trained but still needs occasional assistance/reminding! A very, very selective eater but in this short shift (3 hours) we'll just provide his favourite snacks. A huge bonus if you've had experience with selective eaters (but not necessary). He's an avid learner and is happiest when he's learning or experimenting with something new.

👫About the parents:
We are both freelancers who work in music and the arts. We are openminded and we value honesty, humour, nature, kindness, empathy and compassion. We want to ensure the babysitters we work with feel supported and valued in their role!

I used to be a babysitter/nanny myself and met most of my babysitting clients on this website. I made so many amazing, longstanding connections with the families of the kids who are all grown up now and I still keep in touch with them and visit them 15-20 years later! Babysitting taught me so much that I am now applying as a new Mamma.

We are looking forward to hearing from you. We will generally organise a phone call first, then a one hour trial period (to make sure it's the right fit for everyone).

Thanks,
Charlotte & family

We are looking for a reliable, caring and fun nanny for our two little legends (girl, 4 and boy, almost 2)

We are looking for 3 or 2 days per week (mon, wed, Thursday from 8.30am - 5pm ) depending on nanny availability (Mon and Wed are musts but Thursday optional depending on hours desired).

Both toddlers are active, love to go on park adventures and activities, reading and music.

The role would ideally involve occasionally driving kids to nearby activities and the library in our car.

Role also involves prepping the kids lunch and snacks and supporting nap time and nappies for the almost 2 year old (we will try and toilet train over the warm months).

We live in a great community in West Hawthorn and are within walking distance to several great parks where the kids often bump into their little local pals.

(Would be great to get new nanny settled pre Christmas and then we will be away for two weeks before coming back mid Jan)

Rate is dependent on experience - but we are expecting to pay approx $35 hours for a nanny with relevant experience or qualifications.
