Hello Carers,

• Home time: play, dinner, bath and bedtime routine

About you:

• Experience in childcare (bonus if you’ve worked with similar ages)

• A driver with your own car (we’ll provide car seats)

In return, you’ll find two affectionate kids who love to chat and play, and a family who truly values what you bring to our home.

We’d love to hear from you if this sounds like the right fit! x

We're looking for a nanny to help on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

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.

Hi all,

Looking for a Nanny to look after 2 boys - Caolan (almost 7 years old) and Fionnan (4.5 years old) for about 5-6 hours per week initially - there may be scope to increase these hours as the year progresses. Core hours would be 11.45am - 5.15pm on Monday's and include pick-ups from Kinder/school and some after school activities. Can avail of the family car. Thanks so much!

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!

After school pick up, homework, shower and dinner. Local after school activities.
School and home within walking distance.
Car will be provided.
Two girls 8 and 11 years of age.
Candidate must be reliable, ideally commit for full year.
If possible to do extra hours on school holidays

Hi there,

I am looking for evening help to help with clean-up, baby bottles, laundry and walking the dog, helping with kids if they are awake.

I live in South Yarra (Chapel and Toorak) close to all public transport. I just need a couple hours of help for as many evenings as possible (5-6 days) from 6:30pm-8:30pm.

This position would be ideal for someone who lives close by. Opportunity for more hours once we have established a good working relationship and connection but for the moment 10-12 hours a week for now.

Must be comfortable with small dogs, caring, empathetic, reliable and honest.

My babies are 1 and 2 and usually in bed around 7:30pm.

Please email CV to my email is artikasingh.aba@gmail.com

ONLY THOSE WHO EMALED CV/RESUME WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Please note: it is $30 to start with pay increase after 3 months. Also can provide great reference for careers to those individuals who stay on long-term, as I have my own private practice.


Thank you,
Artika

Hello lovely nannies! We are looking for an experienced, friendly and reliable nanny to look after two beautifully behaved children - 6yo boy and 8yo girl. Both are attending school in the same direction (off Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn and Kew) and will require pick up (own car and car license required) from 3:15pm Mon/Wed/Fri. Finish time approx. 6:30pm. Tasks include helping kids complete simple school homework, prepare simple dinner for kids and simple house tidying/laundry. Hours during school holiday periods will be Mon/Wed/Fri 8am-6:30pm. Please DM me if interested, thank you!

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. 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!
