Job Details: Part-time

$40 per hour

Support a single Dad with 3 amazing children! Loving home, dog included.

Looking for a happy, reliable, caring person to become a trusted part of our routine on a long-term basis. The main job is a simple one: on Tuesday and Sunday evenings, collect the kids (14, 9 and 7) from our home in South Yarra at 6pm sharp and drive them to their mum's place on St Kilda Road for 6:30pm. About an hour all up including your return. Some weeks it's one evening, some weeks both. You'd pop in briefly, gather the troops and go. Same person every time - the kids need to know and trust you, so we'd have you over to meet them once or twice first.

If you'd like more hours, I'd love a hand with light housekeeping and/or ironing on a weekday - entirely by arrangement.

Over January there'll be a few Sunday evenings where the kids are holidaying on the Mornington Peninsula (Portsea) - a short local run at 6:30pm, with your travel paid. If you're down that way over summer, even better.

You'll ideally:
- Have experience caring for children and a calm, easy-going, organised manner
- Hold a current Working with Children Check and a National Police Check
- Have two parent references we can call
- Have a full clean driver's licence, with your own reliable car or happy to drive mine (insured for you)
- Be a non-smoker

Minimum 1.5 hours per run, paid weekly. Starting November.

If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you - tell me a bit about yourself, your experience, your WWCC and police check status, and your Tuesday and Sunday evening availability. Any questions, just ask.

Posted by ILAN 3 days ago

Job Details: Part-time

Hourly rate not specified

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.
Thanks,

Job Details: Full-time

Hourly rate not specified

Hello!

I'm a solo parent looking for a wonderful, experienced nanny to help care for my twin girls, who will be eight months old in January 2027 when the role will start.

We are based in Southbank, Melbourne, and I'm hoping to find someone very special who will become a trusted, long-term part of our family.

I am looking for a professional career nanny who is confident, organised and experienced with babies, but who also has a genuinely warm, affectionate and nurturing personality.

It is very important to me that the girls are cared for by someone who enjoys engaging with them, supporting their development and creating a happy, stimulating environment.

The role will involve caring for both girls, managing their daily routines, feeding, developmental play, outings, children's laundry, meal preparation and some light general housekeeping.

Hours: Initially 25–30 hours per week, following my four-week rotating work roster. Hours are likely to increase over time. Some occasional evening and weekend flexibility would be wonderful with advance notice. We will also have an au pair starting from January who will be helping with morning and evenings so this will be hours between 9 am to 5 pm depending on the day.

Pay: Dependent on experience.

Experience: Professional infant-care experience, paediatric first aid qualification and valid WCCC are mandatory. Early childhood qualifications/ nursing/midwifery back ground would be highly regarded.

We also have two dogs, so you must be comfortable having dogs around the home.

A driver's licence would be desirable as the girls get older but isn't essential at present.

This is a permanent position, and I'm really hoping to find someone who wants to stay with us for the long term and become an important part of the girls' childhood.

We're hoping to arrange paid trials in the first two weeks of December, with the position commencing in January 2027.

If this sounds like a fit, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a little information about yourself, your experience and why you're interested in the role.

🌴 Job Opportunity: Native English or Spanish Teacher – One Year in Florianópolis, Brazil
Imagine spending a year living by the beach on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, while making a real difference in the lives of two wonderful children.
The role:
We’re looking for a native English or Spanish speaker to provide bilingual home-based education for our two children, ages 5 and 6. They are sweet, curious, and exceptionally bright. We’d love someone who blends teaching with warmth, bringing the language to life through play, stories, music, nature, and everyday activities.
What we offer
∙ Free accommodation in a newly renovated studio on the beach, close to our home
∙ A competitive salary, to be discussed
∙ A genuine cultural immersion, with the support of a welcoming family
About Florianópolis
Known as the “Ilha da Magia” (Island of Magic), Florianópolis is the capital of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil. The island has more than 40 beaches, from calm turquoise bays to world-class surf spots. You’ll also find lagoons, sand dunes, Atlantic Forest trails, and charming fishing villages with Azorean heritage.
It consistently ranks among Brazil’s cities with the highest quality of life. It is safe by Brazilian standards and has a thriving international community of digital nomads, surfers, and expats. The food scene is fantastic, especially the oysters, which are among the best in the country. From June to November, southern right whales visit the coast.
Why a year in Brazil?
Living abroad for a year is about more than adding a line to your CV. It’s a life-changing experience. Brazil is warm, joyful, and full of life, with music, festivals, football, and a culture built around connection and hospitality. You’ll become fluent in Portuguese, form lasting friendships, and see the world, and yourself, through a new lens. Employers and universities increasingly value this kind of intercultural experience, adaptability, and independence.
Who we’re looking for
∙ Native English or Spanish speaker
∙ Experience with early childhood education (preferred)
∙ Patient, creative, responsible, and loves children
∙ Able to commit to one year

NEW! Family Helper / Babysitter (Baby + Light Household

Elwood, VIC | 5 km

Start Date: 27 Oct 26

Job Details: Casual Babysitting

$35 per hour

We’re a small family in Elwood looking for a warm, reliable and proactive mother’s helper / family helper to support me at home with our lovely 1-year-old daughter.

This is a little different from a traditional nanny role. I’ll usually be at home and will remain our daughter’s primary carer. What I’m really looking for is an extra pair of capable hands to make the day run more smoothly.

Depending on what’s needed that day, the role might include:
- Playing with our daughter, or reading with her or taking her for a walk while I cook, work, shower or get something done
- Helping with her meals and snacks
- Tidying her play and eating areas
- Putting on or folding a load of laundry
- Unpacking/loading the dishwasher and resetting the kitchen
- Light meal preparation or chopping vegetables
- General tidying and helping keep the household flowing

This is not a heavy cleaning role — we’re looking for someone who naturally notices what needs doing and is happy to move between helping with our daughter and helping around the home.

The right person will be kind, calm, trustworthy and comfortable around a young toddler. Experience with babies/toddlers is very welcome, but just as important to us is someone who is sensible, warm and genuinely enjoys being part of family life.

We’d love to find someone local who can come regularly during the week and hopefully become a familiar, trusted person in our daughter’s life and our home.

We’re based in Elwood and currently offering $35/hour.

Please send me a little about yourself, your experience, your availability and what you’re looking for in a role.

Hello, my name is Anna.

We are a family of five living in Malvern, with three boys aged 7, 6 and 5, and we are looking for someone for regular, casual babysitting.

We would love to find someone who is responsible, mature, energetic and proactive, and who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

Our boys love playing sport outdoors, exploring nature, baking and playing games, so we are hoping to find someone who enjoys getting involved and having fun with them.

We are also looking for someone who is happy to help with simple household tasks and tidy up after the boys as part of their role.

Evening babysitting may include things like emptying the dishwasher, tidying up and folding the children’s laundry when needed.

Most importantly, we hope to find someone who will enjoy spending time with our boys and become a trusted, valued part of our family. We would love to build a great relationship with someone we can rely on and who feels equally comfortable and happy working with us.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Many thanks,
Anna
