Hey,

I'm looking for a babysitter for 3 kids for tommorow night ( Friday ) in Hawthorn from 4:30pm - 10pm. My kids are 7( girl), 10(boy), and 11(boy). Please let me know what your hourly rate is as well. Thanks.

We’re looking for a fun, playful, and energetic nanny to care for our beautiful 17-month-old girl. She’s full of personality, always on the move, and loves being outdoors.

Hours:
Flexible, but ideally at least 2 mornings a week (7am–10am) to start.

Hours can extend over time as needed.

I’m a single mum looking for a reliable, patient and attentive carer to be an extra pair of hands with my two kids (a 4-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl). Both are bright, hilarious little humans who are also neurospicy (ADHD/autistic traits) and sometimes struggle with emotional regulation, transitions and tired end-of-day feelings.

This is an ongoing arrangement, not a short-term role. I’m hoping to find someone who can commit for at least the next 4 months (ideally longer) and become a consistent, familiar face for the kids (and our hairless dog).

The kids are absolute sweethearts - they just need someone who “gets” them, can see past the tricky moments, and help them feel safe and regulated.

Your role:
• Collect from daycare (Fitzroy) & after school care (Clifton Hill)
• Drive kids home to Fitzroy
• Prepare simple kid-friendly meals
• Supervise showers, help with PJs, stories and settling into bed
• Provide calm, caring support with big feelings/meltdowns when they happen

Occasional Mondays may also include:
• Caring for my 4-year-old during the day
• Taking him to his swimming lesson and other appointments

Very occasional Saturdays might also pop up and could include:
• Hanging out with both kids while I’m at work (think parks, play, crafts)
• Taking the 6-year-old to their swimming lesson (Clifton Hill) while you chill on the sidelines with the 4-year-old
• Keeping them entertained, safe and fed through the day until I’m home from work

PLEASE NOTE **hours will vary week to week**

My work hours can be unpredictable, so I’m hoping to find someone who can be a bit flexible and is comfortable with a changing schedule (always with as much notice as I can give).

About you
• Genuinely enjoy kids and are warm, playful and kind
• Calm and patient, especially with emotional ups and downs
• Reliable, organised and good with routines
• Experience with autistic/ADHD or other neurodivergent kids is highly preferable
• Comfortable with basic cooking and light end-of-day kid chores

Requirements
• Own car
• Appropriate child seats (or willing to make an arrangement)
• WWCC (or willing to obtain)
• First Aid/CPR a big plus

**WAGE is negotiable depending on experience**

If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear a bit about your experience, availability and why you think you’d be a good fit for this spicy little crew.

Jack (eight Y.O. going into year two) and Angus (six Y.O. going into prep) are looking for someone to help them get to and from Glenferrie Primary School (a 15 minute walk or 5 - 10 minute drive) three days a week, we can be broadly flexible on days and start/finish times. Both boys are well behaved with an obsession for Minecraft, Pokemon and Beyblades... We're looking for someone that can also help out their two busy parents with occasional shopping, dog walking (Spud, a miniature schnauzer), some easy meal prep for the boys, swimming lessons one night a week and helping to keep the house reasonably clean and tidy.

*Edit: I shall endevour to read over messages by this weekend, shortlist and contact regarding a meet up. Thank you!x

Hello,

My name is Nancy and I live in Caulfield South with my husband and 2 year old son.

Our son is a super sweet boy, a little shy at first but loves cuddles once he warms up.

I’m looking for a babysitter for the occasional weekend evening from around 7pm (he will be sleeping and sleeps really well through the night and we will be on call if needed).

I’m also expecting baby number 2 and looking to find someone between 30th Dec - 2nd Jan who could come for a few hours in the evening while my son is sleeping so my husband can visit me in hospital with the baby. I'll also need some help after the baby arrives while on maternity leave so there will be opportunity to continue working with us.

If you are available for either or both and would love to hear from you.

All my best,

Nancy
