Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Smiths Gully VIC

I’m looking for a nanny that can take care of my twin boys (that will be turning 1 end of Feb) when I return to full time work from Feb 2026. Looking for 1-2 days of support per week whilst I work from home and to help take care of the boys and hoping for some help with with some light housework and preparing meals for the boys and/or the family if able to.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (18m). 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 Fridays (9am-12pm (3hrs) and/or 2-5pm (3hrs)) starting on a weekly basis from 16 Jan 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, making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria), cleaning/housework.

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

I am looking for a long term baby sitter / nanny for my son, Marcus, who is 2 years old and his cousin, Grace, who is also 2 years old. We need daytime care for 2 days a week, with a possibility of increasing to 3 in the future. We are located in Bundoora and Greensborough and wish to alternate between homes. The days of the week are flexible at this stage. We are looking to start care from January 2026 and hope to continue this for approximately 12 month with a chance of extending beyond this.
We would love someone who our children can connect with and grow to love.
We would love someone to spend time facilitating educational playtime and encouraging intuitive skills
We would love to chat some more so please don't hesitate to contact me for my number to discuss further

Very rough idea of what I’ll be needing in the near future. Currently have a 20 month old and expecting twins early April but will be here well and truly before that date.
Really looking for a nanny that has all the qualifications and police check, experienced with multiples and is kind and understanding of our situation.
Any little extras like cooking simple means or helping out with dishes is always a plus and helps us out but obviously the main focus will be helping with our son to take to a park or helping out with our twins when feeding time comes around.
😊😊

Hi there, nice to meet you!

We’re a warm, easy-going family looking for a caring and reliable nanny to join us from January through to mid/late August 2026. Our little one will be 5 months old when you start, and we’ll need support Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm in our home.

We both work remotely, so you won’t be on your own in the house, but we’ll give you the space to do what you do best. We’re hoping to find someone who’s comfortable with parents around and who’s happy for us to pop in for a cuddle or two during breaks. Your role will be to provide our baby with consistent, loving care throughout the day.

We live in a modern, comfortable home, set up with everything you need to make caring for our baby smooth and enjoyable. Light household help while our little one naps (like tidying baby areas or folding laundry) would be appreciated but isn’t the core focus.

If you’re nurturing, dependable, and looking for a family who values kindness, communication, and a great working environment, we would love to meet you.

Hello

Hi!! We are a family of 4 living in Canterbury. Our kids are 5, girl and 3, boy. We are two working professionals and looking for someone with childcare experience, including children aged 3-5 years, who can provide responsive and fun care for our kids. Domestic duties would be minimal, mainly relating to serving kids food and clean up after food and play.

Our needs:
SHORT TERM
Our daughter is starting prep in late January and we are looking for care for both children from 12-25 January 2026 on week-days. There can be flexibility with start times as I generally work in the afternoons.
After this period, we need care every Wednesday mainly for our daughter from 4 February to 4 March (inclusive).

LONG TERM
In the long- term we would be potentially looking at regular Fridays (daytime), after school pick-ups on Mondays and Wednesday and periodic evenings if you were interested.

Thanks!
Shivonne and Michael

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.

Hi there,

We are looking for a Nanny to support my return from Maternity Leave next May, at which time our baby girl will be 10 months old. Given the important role you will play in our lives - and our daughter's life - we are looking for someone is experienced, trustworthy and that we can treat as part of our extended family. Hourly rate negotiable based on experience and duties.

About you:
We are looking for someone with experience Nannying a newborn/s and strong parent references who can manage the day to day care of our daughter at our home in Northcote (no car required) - managing feeding, play and naps.

We will also require support with simple food prep (for our baby's meals) and basic tidying eg packing up toys or activities from the day, dishes and unpacking dishwasher (if needed) however no other home duties required.

Essential:
- Paediatric first aid
- Previous experience Nannying young babies
- References
- WWCC and police check
- All vaccinations up to date
- Reliable and great communicator

At this stage we will need care 3-4 days/week. We hope to do some trials ahead of May start date, and have someone confirmed in the role by March next year.

About our daughter:
- Happy newborn with a content demeanour and in a good sleep and feeding routine
- All vaccines are up to date

About us:
My name is Sophie (44) and my husband is Jacob (35). We welcomed our daughter, Valerie, in July this year after a very lengthy and complex fertility journey. She has been the little miracle we were hoping for and she is a ray of sunshine in our lives. 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.

About our home:
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.

Hi there,

Hi there!
Our family is looking for a nanny for Tuesdays from 8:15am-5:30pm (however we are open to increasing these hours to Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays - same hours each day).
We're a young family based in Kew and have a 3 year old and 1 year old twins.
Our 3 year old will attend Kinder down the road from 9:15am-2:15pm on Tuesdays, so the day will consist of walking him down to Kinder with the twins and then hanging out with the babies until he finishes. Then ideally heading to the park for a play and feeding them all an early dinner. If possible some light household duties would be done in the babies naptime but not a necessity.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

We’re looking for a reliable, kind, punctual, competent nanny with good communication skills, who can help us look after our 8-9 month old, along with fetching our 3.5 year old to kinder, and looking after them in the afternoon.

We are based very near the Hurstbridge line in Northcote.

The job will be on Wednesdays , from 8 am to 5 pm, and fetching the 3.5 year old to kinder (15 min walk) at 8.30 am and getting them home by 2 pm. We also would appreciate help with food prep and basic laundry (mainly folding or hanging clothes) if there is time but not essential.

A paid trial will be required before officially commencing.

We are looking at $35 per hour plus super and leave entitlements (4 weeks of annual leave , of which 2 weeks being the nanny’s choice), or the equivalent in casual rates if that is preferred and can be discussed.

We’re hoping to build a long term relationship with our nanny ideally beyond a year although we understand plans can change.

Hello lovely nannies!
Our current nanny is about to move away, so we are now looking for a new fun, loving and energetic nanny to care for our two kids. We are a friendly outgoing family of four and we both work in the Melbourne CBD. We love eating, heading out to the park, riding bikes and making each other laugh!
Our 11yo daughter is creative and crafty, while our 8yo son is active and loves a laugh. Both kids adore books and reading and really get into imaginative play.
We need help for four afternoons a week (Tuesday to Friday).
Proposed hours are 1.30pm to 6.30/7pm (we are flexible with start time, depending on your availability) to allow time to prepare the evening meal (happy for you to eat with the kids or take some home) and carry out some light household duties prior to the after-school pick-up. (The school is a short stroll away).
Although the primary focus is to care for and stimulate our kids, duties will include food preparation (afternoon tea, cooking a simple dinner for the family), supervision of homework, showers and some light housework (e.g., folding laundry, general tidying and a small amount of vacuuming).
