Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Rowsley VIC

Looking for a reliable female nanny/helper for two children aged 8 and 10, Monday–Friday during school terms. The role is primarily school transport: morning pick-up from our home, help the kids get ready if needed, then drive them approximately 20 minutes to school.

Must have a valid driver’s licence, WWCC, be punctual, trustworthy and available consistently.

Looking for a nanny who is energetic, patient, and truly passionate about early childhood development. We value someone with clear communication skills, punctuality, and a proactive attitude. You should be comfortable engaging kids in creative, screen-free activities, maintaining a consistent routine, and creating a safe, encouraging environment. Also should be able to do the cooking for the baby.

Some things we would like you to do are:
Preparing fresh, healthy, and age-appropriate meals and snacks for a 14-month-old.
Managing feeding times, encouraging independent eating skills, and ensuring safe mealtime practices.
Maintaining consistent daily routines and hygiene (diaper changes, post-meal cleanup).
Engaging the baby in stimulating, age-appropriate play, outdoor walks, sensory activities, and motor-skill development.
Light child-related tidying (e.g., washing baby dishes/bottles after meals, cleaning high chairs, and packing away toys).

Hi!

We’re a warm, easy-going family in Burnside Heights looking for a caring, reliable nanny to become an important part of our daughter’s life.

Our daughter will celebrate her first birthday in February, and we’re hoping to find someone who will become a trusted part of her world as she grows through these precious early years.

The Role
Location: Burnside Heights
Day: Preferably Friday, although there is some flexibility as we’re currently finalising our work schedules.
Hours: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm (10 guaranteed paid hours)

I’m planning to return to work one day per week from November, and we’d love to arrange a few casual sessions throughout October so everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other before regular care begins.

What our days look like

We love spending time:
* Library story time
* Local playgroups
* Parks and nature walks
* Reading books
* Music and singing
* Sensory and creative play
* Learning through everyday experiences

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being present with children, following their interests and creating a fun, nurturing day.

Your role

* Providing warm, responsive care for our daughter
* Preparing and serving her meals and snacks
* Following her sleep routine
* Drying and putting away her clothes
* If you’re comfortable with dogs, taking our friendly Cavoodle for a short walk with the pram

There is no general housework expected. We simply ask that our daughter’s needs come first and that you enjoy spending quality time together.

About us
We’re a warm, mixed ethnicity Etheiopian-Welsh family. Mum is a Maternal & Child Health Nurse and Dad is a Physiotherapist, and we both have a strong interest in children’s health, development and wellbeing.

We value responsive, relationship-based care and see this as a partnership. We’d love to find someone who feels comfortable in our home and genuinely enjoys becoming part of our daughter’s world.

Please make yourself at home while you’re here. Help yourself to tea, coffee and lunch, and if you’re out enjoying story time, the park or a local café with our daughter, we’d love you to grab a coffee or a little treat while you’re out together, our shout.

Although the role is until 6:00 pm, we’ll often be home between 5:15-5:45pm, and if we’re home early, you’re welcome to finish then while still being paid until 6:00 pm.

What we’re looking for
* Warm, kind and patient
* Reliable and trustworthy
* Genuinely passionate about working with young children
* Great communication skills
* Current Working With Children Check
* Current First Aid & CPR (or willingness to obtain)
* Driver’s licence

Pay
* $28–30 per hour, depending on experience
* 10 guaranteed paid hours each week
* Regular pay reviews as the role develops

We’re not simply looking for someone to watch our daughter while we’re at work. We’re hoping to find a kind, dependable person who becomes a trusted part of her world—someone she feels excited to see each week, and someone who genuinely enjoys watching her learn, grow and discover the world.

If this sounds like the kind of role you’d love, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your experience, your current work or study, and what draws you to working with young children.

We look forward to meeting you!

Stacey, Sam & our little girl

Hi guys! 😊

I have five kids — 13 (nearly 14), 11 (nearly 12), 8 (nearly 9), 6 (nearly 7), and a 16-month-old.

They’re genuinely lovely, well-behaved kids. The older ones are very independent, so although we’re a family of five children, the level of hands-on care is very different across the ages. Our youngest naturally needs the most hands-on attention.

We’re hoping to find a reliable babysitter we can use regularly, rather than having someone different each time. It’s really important to us that the kids get to know the same person and feel comfortable and relaxed with them.

We’re also getting married on 12 December this year and would ideally love to have found someone by then who already knows the kids and who we trust and feel comfortable with. We’d love that person to help us with the kids on our wedding day and stay overnight with them.

So we’re really hoping to find someone who could become our regular, trusted babysitter going forward. 😊

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please reach out — I’d love to have a chat!

Thank you,
Sascha

We are looking for a warm, energetic babysitter to help care for our 4.5-month-old baby boy. He has a very easy-going temperament and will sleep for much of the time. During awake periods, he will mainly need some gentle play, interaction and attention. A very straightforward and relaxed role caring for just one baby!

One or both parents will always be home so this is a relaxed and supportive role.

Some light housework during his sleeping times would also be appreciated (dishwasher, folding laundry).

We are looking for 3–4 hours of help on 1, 2 or all 3 days per week. Hours negotiable for less or more.
