Hi, I am looking for a responsible and caring babysitter for my newborn and 6yo daughter.
Weekday shifts will involve getting my 6yo ready for school, making her lunchbox and then looking after the newborn while I drop the 6yo to school nearby. My 6yo has a mild physical disabilty so extra support to assist her in getting ready for school will be required. She has no behavioural issues and is a very happy, delightful child that is very engaged and loves to play. Daytime care for my newborn will allow me to do my own work at home or attend appointments.
Weekend shifts will involve assisting me to look after 2 kids and taking the children out with me.
Light housework, meal prep and cooking will be part of this role.
I am currently looking for a caring, energetic, and reliable individual to look after my two young children from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on the following dates:
July 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, and 18 (Monday the 14th and 17th may also be needed – to be confirmed soon.)
The ideal person would be: • Active and enthusiastic about engaging with young children • Able to keep them entertained with age-appropriate indoor and outdoor activities • Comfortable helping organise and tidy up after playtime • Able to offer them water and meals/snacks during the day (these will be prepared and readily available)
My children are very friendly and social, but they respond best to someone who genuinely interacts and gets involved in play. My husband works from home and will be available if needed, but we’re seeking someone who can independently manage the day and keep the kids happy and engaged.
In addition to these dates, I’m also looking for someone who may be available on an ongoing basis every Monday, so this could lead to a regular role with our family.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please get in touch — I’d love to chat further also mention your rate .
My husband and I are looking for some help with our daughter in the ‘after school’ time period.
We live in Alphington. Our daughter is 1, and has a full time daycare spot, however I prefer her to be picked up from daycare by 5pm at the latest— which isn’t something my husband and I can always manage.
We also need a little extra help around the house.
What I have in mind is:
Come to our house at around 4pm on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday (if that works with your other commitments, noting that we do have some flexibility about the days). Empty the dishwasher for us, chuck on a 15 minute wash, and hang out the washing.
Leave our house on foot at around 4:30pm to pick up Eliza from daycare. (It’s a 10-15 minute walk).
Pick up our daughter and walk her home in the pram. Most likely she will then just want to play for a while, though she may also want food, in which case we will ask you to start the process of giving her dinner (which will just involve microwaving some food we keep in the freezer).
We will then be home at around 530-6, or 630 at the latest.

I am looking for a carer for my 11 year old son on Wednesdays and Thursdays for the whole of the second semester. He is recovering from chronic fatigue and is only physically attending school for a couple of hours on Thursday morning. He is enrolled in Virtual School Victoria and only requires minimal supervision as he follows his online school schedule with regular rest breaks. His sister will need to be taken to school both mornings, but their school is only a block away so it is a very brief walk. The day would start at 8am and finish around 4pm most days.
