Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in South Yarra VIC

We are looking for an experienced, reliable, kind, fun and easy-going nanny who can help out with our 3 gorgeous girls (7, 5 and 4 years old)

We are looking for someone that can help on Monday and Tuesday after school hours (3 to 6:30-7.00pm).

The 3 girls are at the same school, which is walking distance or a short drive from our house.

The role would primarily be helping with:
- school pick-ups
- taking to after school activities nearby
- bringing home and helping with dinner/ bath

Please note, we do require you have your license. Our car can be used for pickups..

We are after Mon and Tues after school.

If this is something that you may be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

I’ll be travelling overseas with work and we need some help picking up / dropping off our 3 boys at school while I’m away. Also help making dinner for the boys, tidying house and walking our dog Frankie.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, 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,
Ilan

Full-Time Nanny Position, Richmond

We're a busy, organised family with three children in Richmond looking for an experienced, full-time nanny to join our household. We've had a full-time nanny since our eldest was 3 months old, and this is a genuinely valued role in our family.

The children

- Two girls, aged 8 and 6, who attend the local primary school (7 minutes' walk from home)
- One boy, aged 3, who will attend kinder locally in 2027.
- They enjoy cycling, soccer, swimming, reading, dancing, crafting and outdoor play. No special needs.

The role

- Full-time position, commencing Thursday 5 November, with two days' handover alongside our outgoing nanny before her last day on Friday 6 November
- School drop-off and kinder drop-off, both on foot. No car or driving is required for the role, though a parking permit is available if you'd prefer to drive to work.
- During term time in 2027, all three children will be out of the house on Mondays and Wednesdays (kinder 8.30am to 1.00pm, school 9.00am to 3.30pm). We'll generally roster a later start on these two days
- Light housekeeping (eg laundry, children's bed linen changes) and basic children's meal prep (snack preparation) will form part of the role, to bring the position up to full-time hours during these gaps
- Full-time employment with a proper contract, WorkCover cover, payslips and annual leave

What we're looking for

Additional tasks for someone seeking more hours could include other home help (grocery shopping, cooking dinner, cleaning or organising). We work in our own business so can be flexible with days and hours and will always try to work with you to find the best fit.

An example would be:

The usual tasks we would ask of you are:
- fun educational activities that encourage learning through play;
- occasional children’s activities that are within short walking distance of house;
- feeding (meals will be pre-prepared but may require heating);
- keep space organised and tidy including light cleaning and laundry as needed;

Hi,

We are looking for help 5 days (Mon-Fri) a week after 2 pm for around 6 hrs a day. We have a 12 week old which needs to be taken care while we attend to our 5 year old when she comes back from school. We are located in toorak. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

We are a warm, busy family in South Melbourne looking for two experienced and reliable nannies to join our family and share a regular weekly roster caring for our two children, aged 2 and 5.

We have been fortunate to have wonderful, long-term relationships with our nannies and really value having people in our children’s lives who become trusted and familiar members of our family. With one of our current nannies finishing with us in December, we are starting our search now for the right people to join us longer term.

While the permanent roster will commence from December 2026, there is plenty of opportunity to start sooner. One of our nannies will be taking periods of leave during September and October, and we also regularly require additional help for evenings, weekends and other casual shifts. This means there will be opportunities over the coming months to work with our family, get to know the children and see whether we are a good fit for each other before moving into a regular long-term arrangement.

The regular roster from December

We are looking to cover a combination of morning and afternoon shifts across Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. These shifts can be shared between two nannies depending on availability.

Mornings | approximately 7:00am–9:00am
Helping the children get ready for the day, breakfast and school/daycare drop-offs, either walking or driving as required.

Afternoons | approximately 3:30pm–7:00pm
School/daycare pick-ups, play or activities, dinner, baths and helping with the evening routine.

Thursdays | flexible
There is the opportunity for a longer/full-day shift (approximately 7:00am–6:30pm), or for the day to be divided into morning and afternoon shifts depending on availability.

There are also regular opportunities for additional casual hours, particularly evenings and weekends, and potentially opportunities to travel with our family from time to time.

You do not need to be available for every shift. We are specifically looking for two people to share the roster, so we are very happy to hear from candidates who can commit to particular days or shifts consistently.

The person we’re looking for

Our priority is finding people who are genuinely interested in building a relationship with our children and becoming a trusted part of our family’s life over time.

We are looking for someone who is:

* Experienced and confident caring for toddlers and young children
* Warm, patient and genuinely engaged with children
* Calm and emotionally attuned, particularly around big feelings, boundaries and age-appropriate challenging behaviour
* Reliable and punctual
* Independent and able to take initiative without needing constant direction
* Organised, clean and respectful of our home
* Comfortable managing school/daycare drop-offs and pick-ups
* Flexible where possible, while also communicating clearly about their own availability
* Interested in a stable, long-term role with a family

A driver’s licence and confidence driving children would be highly regarded.

We place a lot of value on mutual respect, communication and reliability. We have been very lucky to have long-standing relationships with our nannies and want the people who work with us to feel valued and well looked after. In return, we are looking for the same level of care, reliability and respect for our family.

Location

South Melbourne, VIC

Starting

Casual opportunities available immediately, including additional shifts during September and October.

Regular long-term roster commencing December 2026.

This provides a great opportunity to get to know each other gradually before committing to the ongoing arrangement.

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear a little about you, your nannying/childcare experience, your current availability and which days and/or shifts you would ideally like to take on.
