Hi there

My name is Sasha and I live in Thornbury with my partner and 2 year old son.

We're looking for someone to help us out one afternoon a week, ideally on a Tuesday or Thursday (though we have some flexibility). The hours would be 3:30–6:30pm.

To give you a sense of what the afternoon would look like:

- Arrive at our home at 3.30pm and tidy our son's room, strip his cot and put on fresh sheets, put a load of his clothes in the washing machine and prepare his dinner.
- Around 4:30/5:00pm you would drive to pick our son up from daycare (approx. 5 minute drive from our house).
- Once back at home, play games/read etc and give him dinner.

If the arrangement works well, we'd potentially look to extend to a second afternoon per week on a different day, same hours. We'd also need occasional casual evening babysitting from time to time.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we'd love to hear from you!

Thanks
Sasha

If you reached out before and you still are interested please message me again so I know :)

Take care of my toddler Penelope (birthday 31/07/24) and new baby (arriving mid-May) preferably on Mondays and Thursdays, although this is flexible - any 2 weekdays would work for me. Start at 8:30am and finish at 4pm at our Moonee Ponds house, with some flexibility. Option to increase hours/days when new baby arrives in mid-May.

Must like dogs - we have a cavoodle.

Penelope's middle-of-day nap is usually 2 hours-long. Household chores during this time eg vacuum/mop, laundry, cleaning up after meals, getting Penelope's next meal ready.

Flexibility is key because I may need more support (longer/extra days) when baby arrives. Also flexibility in terms of juggling new baby and Penelope with me.

Must have an updated vaccination for whooping cough (pertussis).

If you are interested, please respond to this ad and include the following: whether you are available on Mondays and Thursdays (and if not, what days you are available), a little about yourself and your experiences in nanny positions, where in Melbourne you live and your phone number.

Hello we have three boys age 1,3 and 5 and are looking for a babysitter. The boys are fairly outgoing and active. The role may involve looking after one or two of the children during the day or after school to accomodate appointments and activities for siblings. For example, we need someone to look after the one year old while i attend an event at kinder or school. It will also involve night time baby sitting on weekend (occasional weeknights for some events). We would provide as much notice and flexibility as possible . We have a dog as well (Labrador cavalier cross) so someone who likes dogs would be ideal.

Looking for a nanny 3 afternoons a week to collect my children (girl aged 11 and boy aged 6) from school (3.30pm finish) and take them to after school activities. Required until
6.30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday and until approx 5.30 pm on Thursday.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (2). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Monday and Wednesday (10am-1pm (3hrs) starting on a weekly basis from 5 May 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, and making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria). We are currently toilet training her, so you would be expected to help her in this process.

Aria’s naps may be unpredictable, so we are looking for someone also willing to help with basic cleaning/housework if she falls asleep between 10am-1pm.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!

NOTE: Apologies if you have already messaged me and I have not responded: I have reset my membership and unfortunately no longer have access to your message! Please feel free to reach out again!
