Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in South Melbourne VIC

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 after school care for my 2 kids (boys 6 & 9) on Mondays + Wednesdays. The job involves picking up from school, after school activities , basic meals + care till we get home. Looking for someone reliable, fun and engaging! There are opportunities to help with clothes folding etc if interested. We live in st kilda west. Can offer a minimum for 10 hours/week. Needs to have a car but we will reimburse for fuel etc. (we may be able to provide car, but needs to have license)
Looking forward to hearing from you 🙂
Thank you.

We are a kind and respectful family of four living in the Melbourne CBD looking for some help from April (Term 2) this year:
- kinder and school drop offs and pick-ups for our two children aged 3 and 10;
- supervising 10 year old to do reading, homework and musical instrument practice Mon-Thurs
- ad hoc evening babysitting on a week night or weekend if you are available

Hours would be around 6:45am to 9.15am and 3pm to 6.30pm Monday to Friday during school term. School holidays off. Open to a part-time, casual or contractor arrangement. The role involves commuting between the city, St Kilda and Essendon to drop off and collect the kids at different schools. We are open to someone using public transport (we live near Southern Cross station) or their own vehicle.

We are open to a live-in arrangement and on offer we have a bedroom available with a queen bed, TV, unlimited wifi and lots of streaming subscriptions, direct access to a bathroom shared with the kids and food provided (including evening meals with the family). A live in arrangement might suit an au pair from overseas or a local university student who might be looking for CBD accommodation. For a live out arrangement we are also open to splitting the role casually or part-time between two people. We currently have an au pair living with us who is great, and is finishing up at the start of April.

Hello!

The evening position which I posted about previously is now filled. I am currently looking for an au pair for before school and afternoon hours.
The kids are in childcare 5 days a week so I will need help with their morning routine, evening routine, meal prep, household management, walking the dog, meal prep and day-to-day tasks.

We live in a 6 star apartment building with access to all the amenities: hot tub, pool, gym, sauna, steam shower, BBQ area, library in the building and workspace. We are amongst all the cafe's, restaurants and public transport at our doorstep.

This is a support the mother role, rather than just a nanny role. Minimum 6 months, 35-40 hours per week. Bills and food paid for except your phone and personal items. You will have your own room and the bathroom would be shared with guests.

For more information, please email me your CV, with WWCC and I will be happy to discuss the details further with you. My email is artikasingh.aba@gmail.com

Hi there!

I am looking for help with my two kids, a boy aged 9 and daughter aged 11. We live in Albert Park.

Wed and Thurs from 3pm-7pm, picking them up from school in Brighton, then either bringing them home or taking them to after school activities, followed by dinner and a bit of a tidy up. Plus making sure homework is organised for an added bonus (no stress on this on though!). You will need your own car, and I'd provide some support for petrol. $35/hour

If this sounds good to you, please let me know!

We’re a young family based in South Yarra with our sweet two and a half -year-old son. I work from home and am looking for someone to spend quality, engaged time with him while I work in another room. He is a very happy little boy with a beautiful nature who loves playing, music, story time, being outdoors, staying active, and heading out for adventures like trips to the park or library.

We would ideally love someone who speaks fluent Italian so he can be exposed to and grow up around another language (my heritage is Italian). We would also appreciate help with light household tidying as needed — things like dishwasher loading/unloading, hanging washing, and small daily resets.

We are really hoping to find someone looking for a longer-term role, as building consistency and trust is very important to us. Our little one forms lovely bonds with the people around him, so we are hoping to find someone who is planning to be in Australia long-term to help avoid difficult goodbyes and provide him with stability and continuity.

We are a warm, relaxed and loving household and would love to welcome someone who is genuine, present and kind.

Please reach out if this sounds like you — we’d love to organise a proper chat!

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
