Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in St Kilda East VIC

Hi! We are a family based in St Kilda east looking for some help after school. We have 2 kids, a boy who is 4 and a girl who has just turned 2.

We are hoping to find someone local who is interested in 2 -3 hours of work 2/3 times per week in the afternoon/evening. The best days for us would be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 3.00-6.00pm. Starting immediately.

The job is picking up and looking after the kids, prepping dinner and organising our home at the end of a long day for us! This would include any light cleaning / tidying up. We also have two very friendly staffy mixes so must love dogs!

We would love someone local who is looking for some guaranteed long time work and will grow with our family.

Hi there! We are looking for someone who can be with our 1 year old daughter in an ongoing role. We are looking for someone who can commit to 2 regular mornings a week (preferably Mon & Wed but Thurs is also an option) from around 8:30am-1pm. Ideally we'd like someone who has had some experience looking after babies and feels comfortable: preparing age appropriate meals, going on small outings, young toddler play etc. Light cleaning duties include: wiping down highchair, packing up toys, cleaning up kitchen after eating etc. The start date is flexible but we are keen to lock someone in, so if this sounds of interest to you please get in touch :) Thanks! Talia (PS, WWCC & first aid preferred but not mandatory, ideally the applicant would be willing to do a first aid refresher provided by us)

We're looking for a nanny to help on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
You'll mostly be looking after our 6 month old baby and 3 year old girl.
The role involves light housework – washing, dishes, rubbish. We do most of the meal prep but you can help with that.
The kids love being outside so lots of adventures.
We want someone easy going, responsible, kind. Hoping for someone long term. Must have experience with babies.

Hello! We are a friendly young family looking for a part-time live-out nanny to care for our three children in Elwood from February (start date flexible). Further details below:

Days: Ideally Mon, Tues and Thurs 8am - 7pm, plus occasional night time babysitting. Hours on Monday and Tuesday can be flexible.

Ages of kids: 10, 7 and 4 (plus a friendly dog!)

Criteria: WWCC, driving licence (you can drive our car), fully vaccinated, references, non smoking (and first aid preferable)

Pay: Negotiable depending on experience and whether you are looking for casual or part time/contracted rate

Duties: caring for three children when they are not at school/kinder/grandparents, pick ups and drop offs, meal prep, kids’ laundry, tidying, walking the dog

We have had a nanny for 10 years now and so we are experienced and committed employers. We are looking for someone who can commit to a longer term role and become part of our family.

While quality childcare is obviously still the priority, as the kids get older we are finding the nanny role involves a mix of childcare and helping us with the kids’ school/kinder/sport logistics and general house keeping.

Please get in touch if you are interested. Looking to interview (either over the phone or in person) in the second half of January.

Thanks very much in advance!

We are looking for a long term nanny (at least a year, although would consider 6 months if you had a lot of flexibility) for a 3 and 5 year old. They will both attend kinder and school next year 8:30-3:15 so the job involves before and after school care on different days. This would be three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon on different days: Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Date nights and weekend shifts always available although we wouldn’t expect it.

Looking for someone who is kind and energetic, and who has initiative. Experience with, and a genuine love of, children is essential. We’re looking for someone who is honest, trustworthy and reliable, and who will engage with our children. We approach this like a team and have had excellent relationships with our last two Nannies.

Both children are active and happy little people who love socialising. It's important that you're comfortable driving (you'll drive our car) as there is drop off and pick up and a few activities (eg gymnastics, Prahran market, etc). Some are within walking distance but otherwise you'll likely use the car at least once a day (to do kinder pick up).

The role involves some house keeping before or after drop off (clothes washing and folding, unloading groceries) and food preparation.
We have a cleaner so the role doesn't require any deep cleaning - just keeping the house tidy and cleaning up as you go.

If this sounds of interest to you, please get in touch. We’d love to hear from you!

Hi, we are seeking a baby sitter for 1 to 3 days per week for our happy little nearly two year old. She is getting a feel for the potty, has experience with both childcare and nannies. We live close to the park, school, playgroup, library and shops. We also have a large but friendly lab who generally sits outside and sleeps. Start either 730 or 8 and finish 5 or 530. May also be occasional baby evening babysit.

Hi,

We are looking for a casual / part-time nanny to look after out two children, aged 7 & 9 for 2 days per week. The usual hours would be 3:15pm to 6:30pm with additional nigh time shifts available on occasion. The role would involve collecting the children from primary school and taking them to an after-school activity (swimming / tennis / dance) and then home to start dinner.

Ideally, we would like someone who lives locally, has their driver's license, is responsible and enthusiastic about caring for children.

If this sounds good, please get in contact so we can meet and discuss further.

Regards

David

We have two children, Ria who is 2 and Petros who is 1.

We are seeking a nanny who speaks fluent Greek. Ria, will also be starting half day kinder in January, 3 days per week, so your time will sometimes be with one child, and other times with both of them.

Some cooking and folding washing is terrific too, wherever possible.

We look forward to hearing from you!
