Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Templestowe Lower VIC

We’re looking for a caring, reliable casual babysitter/nanny to look after our two boys (16 months and 3 years old) in our home in Templestowe Lower. The role is a minimum of one day per week, with the possibility of additional days as needed.

Your days with the boys will include walking to the park, riding bikes, playing sports, and enjoying creative activities such as arts and crafts, games, and simple cooking or baking together.

During nap times, we’d appreciate light household help such as folding laundry, tidying play areas, cleaning up after activities, and occasional vacuuming.

We’re hoping to find someone warm, energetic, and genuinely engaged with little ones. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Friday Nanny for Our 4-Year-Old

We’re looking for a kind, reliable, and energetic nanny to join our family every Friday, caring primarily for our fun-loving 4-year-old. She attends 4-year-old kinder, and on her day off we need someone from 8:15am to around 5:00pm.

She’s curious and loves little adventures—whether that’s a trip to gymnastics, a visit to the library, or simply exploring activities at home. We want someone who can connect with her, guide her through the day, and create a calm, engaging environment.

We are looking for an experienced nanny who would be comfortable driving her to these activities.

We already have a long-term nanny for another day of the week and a regular cleaner, so the housework is light and simple—mainly tidying up after her and loading/unloading the dishwasher as needed.

She also has two older sisters in Grade 2 and Grade 3 who will pop home after school for about an hour. They’re easy going, so the focus of the day is very much on our 4-year-old.

If you enjoy working with young children, love creating enriching days, and are looking for a consistent weekly role with a warm family, we’d love to hear from you. We are located in Doncaster.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (18m). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Fridays (9am-12pm (3hrs) and/or 2-5pm (3hrs)) starting on a weekly basis from 16 Jan 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria), cleaning/housework.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!

My name is Sandra, husband is Oliver and we have two young boys, 4 yo and a 2yo.
We are after someone who can casually babysit for 3-4 hours a day, maybe once or twice a week. This will be mainly so I can volunteer, do admin household work or chores around the house. Ideally someone who lives very close by and has experience looking after children.

I am looking for a long term baby sitter / nanny for my son, Marcus, who is 2 years old and his cousin, Grace, who is also 2 years old. We need daytime care for 2 days a week, with a possibility of increasing to 3 in the future. We are located in Bundoora and Greensborough and wish to alternate between homes. The days of the week are flexible at this stage. We are looking to start care from January 2026 and hope to continue this for approximately 12 month with a chance of extending beyond this.
We would love someone who our children can connect with and grow to love.
We would love someone to spend time facilitating educational playtime and encouraging intuitive skills
We would love to chat some more so please don't hesitate to contact me for my number to discuss further

Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.

Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essential—finding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.

Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and we’re looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.

What we’re hoping for -
We’re looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays

Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.

We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, we’re hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

Our two children are nearly six and eight years old. After many years with us, our current wonderful nanny is moving on. We are looking for a long-term nanny to become a new part of our family and help provide stability and security.

We need:

- Afternoons, 2-7pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Mum and Dad arrive home just before 7pm)
- School pick-up (10 min drive, booster seats provided)
- Dinner preparation (reheat or simple preps), tidying, dishes
- Supervision of music practice and homework
- Extended hours are available for a household manager to support with other house cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping


Our kids are energetic and bright, and love reading, crafting, puzzles and games. Our family enjoys learning about languages, cultures and the natural world. We do not use screen-time during the week and have a gentle parenting style (or so others tell us!). We use structure and routine to help the rhythm and flow of our family in a light-hearted way and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Our ideal nanny has high emotional intelligence, is calm, patient, caring and understanding with children, particularly during times of high emotions. They value children’s voices and opinions and can support them with co-regulation when needed. They see themselves as more than a babysitter, take pride in their important position in the lives of children and have open communication with parents. Certificate III or higher in childcare would be desirable.

We look forward to embracing our new nanny, with their own style and the unique qualities they will bring in to our family.

Hello

I’m searching for a carer who is able to assist with dropping off and picking up my 6 year old son from primary school and my 12 year old from high school most days from Monday to Friday.
Thank you so much.

This is a part-time nanny role caring for two young children during the business day. It would ideally suit an experienced nanny whose current family’s circumstances are changing next year and who is looking for their next ongoing position.

We have had a wonderful experience with our current nanny over the past year, and as she begins a placement for her Early Childhood Education studies next year, she will only be available one day a week. We are looking for someone to join our family and care for the boys across both days on an ongoing basis. We would love to find someone who is looking for a long-term role throughout 2026.

The boys attend kindergarten on the other days, so these two days are focused on park adventures, exploring, kicking the football and having fun. They love playgrounds, the library, picnics and little outings, and we are hoping to find someone who enjoys planning engaging days with them.

Both parents work from home. We also have a Groodle, so being comfortable around dogs is important.

• Enjoy play-based learning and creative, hands-on activities
• Be kind, patient and confident managing two young children
• Hold a Working With Children Check and police check

We are hoping for someone who has experience with babies of this age. She is very playful and always on the move, crawling and walking across the furniture. She loves music, dancing, walks in the pram and watching the kids play on the playground.

There is potential to move to 2 days per week in 2026.
