Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Sandringham VIC

Hi. We are a family of 5 living in Sandringham. We are exploring options for support with drop offs and collections on Mondays and Thursdays.

This will primarily be for our two school age children, but may occasionally also include our 4year old, who is at kinder locally.

Most sessions this will include taking them home (via activities) and preparing dinner for them.

It is important that you have your own car and ideally have allergy/anaphylaxis training.

Whilst we are looking for regular support we do also sometimes need a little flexibility, as there may be times due to special occasions, end of term, sickness etc. that we prefer to collect the girls ourselves.

If this could be of interest to you then we would love to discuss in more detail. Equally if you may be interested but need more details, please reach out. Thanks. We look forward to hearing from you.

We’re looking for a part time Nanny/House Manager to help support our busy family home.

We have 2 children (1 at school, 1 at kinder 3 days) and a baby on the way.

We are looking for someone reliable, organised and proactive who genuinely enjoys helping keep a home running smoothly as well as caring for both babies and small children.
I need a second Mum for the house!

We already have a weekly cleaner, so the role is focused on caring for the baby and 4yr old when I am working and helping keep the house maintained and organised day to day.

Tasks include:
- Looking after our youngest child in shifts once he is born (due in Oct.).
- Helping with our 4yr old daughter on her non kindergarten days, again on and off throughout the day while I work/get things done around the house
- Creating play, interaction and imaginative activities with the children
- Helping with feeds, sleeps and general routines
- General tidying and keeping the house organised
- Laundry, folding and putting clothes away
- Kitchen resets and dishwasher (the older kids help with this too)
- Weekly meal prep and fridge organisation
- Preparing lunchbox snacks for the week and ensuing fridge and pantry are stocked for lunches
- Grocery pick up and unpacking groceries
- School pickup and drop as necessary (walking distance from home)
- Depending on the hours we all agree which I am flexible to change week to week or ad hoc as we require, help with after school sport and activities or babysitting etc…


We live very close to the Sandringham village and train line, so you can walk to the beach, library, shops etc.

We are looking for someone warm, trustworthy and able to work independently without needing constant direction.
Someone who has a good attention to detail and cares deeply for children and engaging with them at their level.

Ideally we would like someone who can start 2 days per week (Tuesday and Thursday) and grow to join us up to 30 hours per week in the new year (January).
We would love someone looking for a long term role and hoping to join our family as not only a carer but a friend to our children.
Willing to pay appropriately for spectacular people!

Approx. 24-34 hours per week Monday to Thursday from Feb 1 2027.
Flexibility with hours, ideally you will have a car with child seats to help with before and after school activities and sports

Hi, we are looking for a nanny - preferably someone who can help with our babies -
one boy 3 years and another one girl 2 years old .

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday - 6-8pm

They come home at 5.30/6pm after childcare -
Feed 2 babies - wash them - put on new clothes, give milk bottles and put them to sleep
heat food and serve
Clean plates and chairs after feeding

We're looking for some help with our boys 5 and 2.5 years old. We are based in Beaumaris.

I’d like assistance on Tuesday (or Wednesday) mornings from 6:30am-9am to assist with morning routine - get the boys up, breakfast, get them ready, entertain them and take them to daycare (I have two car seats that will need to be installed into your car).

It is likely we will extend this to include an afternoon 3:30pm - 6:30pm to pick up from kinder and daycare, prepare kids dinner if not ready earlier, bath and get ready for bed. This will be based on finding the right person, and will be something we look at down the track.

I'd also require extra help when I have work trips organised, for example July 21-24th I am away, so we would require some additional mornings/afternoons to help if you had the additional availability.

We have two high energy boys so I'd be looking for someone who is confident to look after them, who would be happy kicking the ball with them and planning activities that match their interests. We have many parks nearby and the boys love going for a walk to play there. They also love a baby chino down at the local shops!

Our boys are very loving and we want to view this person as part of our family so the right person really matters. They will be responsible and have a WWC.

Please let me know if you sound like the right person to join us. We are interested in finding a match as soon as possible with an immediate start.

Happy to discuss hourly rate if you are the right person.

Hi,

I'm looking for someone to do school drop offs and pick ups mid July to August for my 2 boys (Moorabbin to Highett) with view to extend if it suits and more flexibility with days/times for the right person beyond August.

Currently I need Wednesday mornings and afternoons and Thursday mornings and afternoons. I leave at 7.45 and the boys need to be at school at 8.30. Pick up is at 3.05 and a parent is usually home between 3.30 and 3.45 (4pm at the latest).

There is the opportunity to extend this if it suits you and long term we can definitely look up mixing days/times ie Wed pick up, Thursday both, Friday drop off, as I have some flexibility with my roster.

Please let me know either way if interested.

Cheers

Hi, I'm a solo mother of twin boys based in Beaumaris. I am looking for help with picking up (or taking) my children from school in Camberwell each day. This will be a couple of hours a day, at least 4 days each week during the school term, starting May 2026. However, it's important that you forge a strong relationship with my kids, so I would be interested in you starting sooner on a less frequent basis, if that's of interest.

The boys speak French and English. Ideally, if you speak French that would be a huge bonus.
Looking for someone who doesn't get overly stressed about typical kid stuff, and doesn't mind the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. You must have your own vehicle and be happy having booster seats in the car when you drive them. Most likely looking for your help in the afternoons, Monday through Thursday, potentially eventually Friday mornings, too.

Needing someone reliable - this is key. If you can't commit for the full 2026 academic year then please don't apply - my kids will become attached to you (and I will need your support).

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this far! Hope to hear from you. Rate negotiable depending upon experience.

-Rebecca

Hi 😊

I’m looking for a part-time babysitter to help care for my 20-month-old daughter.
I’m hoping to find someone who is caring, responsible, and comfortable with toddler care. Previous experience with young children is preferred, but most importantly, I’m looking for someone who can provide a safe, warm, and loving environment.

Duties include basic childcare such as feeding, playing indoors and outdoors, and diaper changes if needed.

We also have a fully house-trained Labrador retriever, so someone who is comfortable around dogs would be preferred.

If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out. Thank you!

We are looking for a kind, reliable and energetic babysitter/nanny to help care for our three children (ages 10, 8 and 6) after school in Brighton.

The role is approximately 3 hours per afternoon, Monday to Friday, and would suit someone who enjoys spending time with school-aged children. Duties include school pick-up, taking the children to after-school activities, helping with homework/readers when needed, preparing a simple afternoon snack or meal, and keeping the children’s spaces tidy.

We are looking for someone responsible, engaging and organised who can become a trusted part of our family’s routine. A driver’s licence and reliable car are required.

Experience with children is preferred, but the most important qualities are reliability, warmth and a genuine enjoyment of caring for kids.

Nanny wanted — Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 9am–5pm — starting early February 2027.

We’re a young family in Brighton looking for a warm, reliable nanny to join us three days a week from the start of February.

You’d mainly be caring for our one-year-old — a happy, easygoing little one who’s a genuine delight to be around. Our three-year-old may also be home one day (subject to daycare availability), so at times it’d be both of them together.

These three days line up with the days one of us works part-time; the other works full-time. On most of them, one of us will be home working from home — so there’s a hand nearby if it’s ever truly needed.

Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. There may be some flexibility for the right person.

Rate: $30 (happy to pay cash)

Driving: Licence required but not expected to pick up any kids from daycare etc

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear a bit about you and have a chat. Thanks!

- Current needs: A regular Thursday afternoon/evening shift (approx. 3:00 PM onwards) to help with kinder pickup and the bedtime routine, plus occasional ad-hoc babysitting.

Ideally, you would be experienced with:
- Caring for a child and a baby at the same time
- Managing the evening routine (dinner, bath, book, bed) and caring for an infant (settling, bottles, nappies)
- Driving our family car (equipped with child seats) for the kinder pickup.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we would love to arrange a quick meet-and-greet!
