Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Templestowe VIC

Looking for an English-speaking nanny for my 9-year-old son.

My son is Russian and has just started school in Melbourne. He speaks very little English, so I’m looking for someone to help him learn to understand and speak English through everyday communication.

After school, spend time with him: go for walks, play, talk, read, do simple activities, or cook together.

He is an active, kind boy who loves soccer, badminton, running, climbing, cooking, and helping in the kitchen.

If you have experience with children and enjoy spending time with them, please send me a message.



Thanks, Anya!

Hello

We are a family in Alphington with 3 children, a 10-year-old girl and two boys, aged 8 and 5. We are looking for a warm, fun and calm nanny to help get our 3 children to school and kinder.

The role is for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7.30-9.30am. Finishing time can be slightly earlier if this impedes other commitments.

The role will mainly focus on supporting our youngest child to get to kinder. Experience with, or an understanding of, children with ADHD/ASD will be preferred. The older children are fairly self-sufficient and will need minimal support completing their morning routine. But a few gentle reminders to stay on track will be required. :)

If time allows after drop off, some light tidying of the kitchen or hanging out of the washing would be very much appreciated but not expected.

Both school and kinder are a short walk/very short drive from our home.

If this sounds like a role you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
