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 are looking for a trusted and reliable nanny that would be able to look after our son (9 years old) after school (Wed-Thurs 3-7pm). The job would include picking him up from school which is walking distance from our house, supervising homework and helping prepare evening meals. There may be a need to take/collect him from after school sports training, so an openness to driving would be ideal.

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!

Hello! We are looking for the right person to become part of our household each week Monday-Wednesday from 3.30-(approx)6pm. There will also be a couple of mornings as well as the year progresses.

We believe it takes a village to raise a child, and having all family in other parts of the state and the country, we need some extra support with the two children in our care after school. The kids are bubbly, engaged and in a great routine.

The successful candidate will be able to facilitate school pick up, afternoon tea, some after school commitments (including dance, swimming etc), get dinner started ... and some supervision and modelling of homework and study will be necessary!

We're very flexible re the role - it's more important we find the right person and fit for our home. Some casual babysitting may also be required.

Looking for help 2-3 days a week between Tuesday and Thursday with daycare pick up, dinner and bath for my 3YO identical twin boys.

Requirements: Daycare pick up (5-10min walk from the house), non-screen play, dinner preparation (ingredients will be provided) and serving, bath and post dinner clean up.

I’ll be home in time for either bath or before bedtime.

Looking for someone with flexibility (the hours might adjust slightly or we might look to add more days / hours), experience managing multiple toddlers (twins ideally), genuinely has fun with kids and wants a long term employer relationship.

We want someone who will feel like they are part of the family and stay with us as the boys progress to school.

Hours: 6:30am – 12:30pm
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (flexible; 3 days/week)

We are supporting a warm, respectful family in St Kilda, VIC who are seeking high-quality In Home Care for their toddler. This role is coordinated through VPM In Home Care, an approved provider working within the Department of Education's In Home Care (IHC) program.

Role details
Location: St Kilda, VIC
Days: 7 days per week (job-shared)
Shifts: 12-hour shifts
Child: 20 months old
Long-term placement preferred

Care is required for one child, aged 20 months, in the family home. Due to the nature of the hours, this role must be job-shared between two or more educators to ensure safe, sustainable workloads and educator wellbeing.
This is an agency-based role (not private employment). Educators are employed by VPM and supported through structured onboarding, compliance processes, and ongoing professional support.
Start: ASAP

This position is for a qualified early childhood educator, not a nanny role. Educators work within the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and provide intentional, developmentally appropriate education and care in line with ACECQA and Department of Education requirements.
The focus is on building a secure relationship with the child, supporting routines, and offering meaningful learning experiences through play.

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

We are seeking a nanny 4 days per week 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. The kids are both in a very good routine with their meals and naps, so our primary objective is for our nanny to maintain their routine and engage in meaningful play.

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

We look forward to hearing from you!
