Hi all,

Looking for a Nanny to look after 2 boys - Caolan (almost 7 years old) and Fionnan (4.5 years old) for about 6 hours per week initially - there may be scope to increase these hours as the year progresses. Core hours would be 11.45am - 5.45pm on Monday's and include pick-ups from Kinder/school and some after school activities. Thanks so much!

We are a family of 5, with 3 children ages 6, 11 and 15, looking for someone to replace our current after school nanny, whose new Uni schedule unfortunately now clashes with when we require help.
Parents both work full time (with some flexibility), so we are looking for some extra help in the after school hours until dinner time. Duties include: school pickup (South Melbourne) assistance with homework, transport of the 6 and 11 year old to after school activities (it is preferable that you have your own car) and very occasionally dropping or picking up the 15 year from after school activities or her own baby-sitting jobs.
Candidate must also be comfortable with a small (very friendly) 4 year old cavoodle.
Also, some very light housework and food/dinner prep may be required at times. Please reach out if you think you could be the right fit for this role :)

I’m looking for a carer to help with before school care and doing school drop offs for my 6 year old daughter on Tuesday and Friday mornings. The drop off is from South Melbourne to a primary school in Armadale. The start time will need to be around 7am-7:15am. I can insure you on my car for the school run so you don’t need your own vehicle, just a clear driving license and be a safe driver. Occasional after school care may also be available if this suits. Ideally you would have a few years of experience and references. Please send me a message to discuss this job further. Hope to hear from you, thanks.

Hi there!
We live in Richmond, though it's more like Cremorne, and we have a baby who is 7 weeks old (as at December 21) and a son who is 3.5. I'm looking for someone to arrive early - 6am - on his daycare days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and help me get him ready for daycare and then walk him up to daycare. Depending on experience with babies, I'd also like it if you can hold the baby for me while I do jobs in the house or I could take my son to daycare instead some days while you hold the baby at home. Once my son is dropped at daycare, I'm hoping you can come back to our house and do an hour or two of housework including clothes washing or dish washing. The morning job would be about 6am - 10am.
In the evening, we're hoping someone can pick my son up from daycare, walk back to our house, and help me get dinner organised before bathing my son and prepping him for bed. The evening would be about 5pm - 7:30pm.
If interested, we could meet at our house and have a chat. Police check, working with children's check and first aid essential. Thank you! Alexis
