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 tram ride away and I would require you to be at our house at 645am so I can head to work.

Hello Carers!
We are looking for someone to help keep our busy family in order! We have two boys aged 12 and 14 who are becoming more independent but sometimes still need some help in getting organised for school and in getting to and from activities.
Both parents are busy with full time roles so would love some support with meal preparation and light home tasks like throwing on a wash, folding clothes and helping the boys keep their rooms tidy.
The boys sometimes ride to school but not if it's really hot or rainy - in which case they need a drop off and pick up.
For hours, we're looking for
Monday from 3.30 - 6.30pm
Wed before school 7.00-8.30am
Wed after school 3.30-7.30pm
Thurs before school 7.00-8.30am
Thurs after school 3.30-6.30pm
Fri before school 7.00-8.30am
Fri after school 3.30-5.30pm
We're keen to find someone reliable, kind and organised. They boys are pretty well behaved and becoming more independent.
Please let me know if that sounds like a good fit!
Cheers,
Bronwyn

Are you looking for your own self-contained apartment that you can stay live in with a friend / partner? Our prior nanny has gone back to the UK and lived there with her boyfriend. So it was similar to an au pair role but she was experienced and independent. This job could be with or without the apartment.

We are looking for a long term nanny (at least a year, although would consider 6 months if you had a lot of flexibility) for a 3 and 5 year old. They will both attend kinder next year 8:40-3:15 so the job involves before and after school care on different days. This could be two hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, or some weeks just three three hour shifts in the afternoons. Date nights and weekend shifts always available although we wouldn’t expect it.

Looking for someone who is kind and energetic, and who has initiative. Experience with, and a genuine love of, children is essential. We’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable, and who will engage with our children. We approach this like a team and have had excellent relationships with our last two Nannies.

Both children are active and happy little people who love socialising. It's important that you're comfortable driving (you'll drive our car) as there are a few activities (eg gymnastics, Prahran market, mini maestros, etc). Some are within walking distance but otherwise you'll likely use the car at least once a day (to do kinder pick up).

The role involves some house keeping before or after dropping the kidlets off (clothes washing and folding, unloading groceries) and food preparation.
We have a cleaner so the role doesn't require any deep cleaning - just keeping the house tidy and cleaning up as you go.

If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!

Pay is $35-40 p/hr negotiable depending on experience. Apartment deducted from salary. We pay on an hourly rate.

Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.

Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essential—finding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.

Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and we’re looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.

What we’re hoping for -
We’re looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays

Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.

We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, we’re hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

Our two children are nearly six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking for a long-term nanny to become a new part of our family and help provide stability and security.

We need:

- Afternoons, 2-7pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Mum and Dad arrive home just before 7pm)
- School pick-up (10 min drive, booster seats provided)
- Dinner preparation (reheat or simple preps), tidying, dishes
- Supervision of music practice and homework
- Extended hours are available for a household manager to support with other house cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping


Our kids are energetic and bright, and love reading, crafting, puzzles and games. Our family enjoys learning about languages, cultures and the natural world. We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). We use structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Our ideal nanny has high emotional intelligence, is calm, patient, caring and understanding with children, particularly during times of high emotions. They value children’s voices and opinions and can support them with co-regulation when needed. They see themselves as more than a babysitter, take pride in their important position in the lives of children and have open communication with parents. Certificate III or higher in childcare would be desirable.

We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.

Jacob and I are both passionate about family and friends, travel, healthy living and we enjoy our respective careers. We both work in hybrid roles (3 days in office, 2 days at home) so one of us will often be home working from the front office on alternating days.

Our home is a lovely light-filled and carefully curated space to spend the day, with a small back yard and lawn. Heating/cooling and well equipped kitchen for your use. Easy pram walks to plenty of local parks, cafes and ammenities nearby, too.
