We're after a nanny/babysitter for our kids on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The mornings would be 7am to 10am — getting the kids up and ready for school, dropping them off, plus a few household bits like a load of laundry, dinner prep and a tidy up. Then evenings 3pm to 6pm for pick-ups, extra-curricular activities, homework help and getting dinner started.

Our kids are 14, 11 and 7, and they're all at different schools at the moment, so the logistics are a big part of where we need help.

We are looking for someone to join our family as a part-time nanny to assist with after school pick ups from school / daycare for our two children. We also hope to utilise the same person for occasional babysitting on Friday / Saturday nights when we have family / social / work events. The regular pick up would ideally be on Tuesday afternoon, with the back up option of Mondays. Occasional Thursdays would also be helpful. Pick up is of our eldest ftom school then our youngest from daycare - both walking distance from our home. We have two little girls, our eldest is 6 years old and our youngest is 3. Both children enjoy imaginative play, dancing and singing, playing outside, exploring, craft activities and helping around the house. Both parents work in the CBD when in the office, and also work from home on occasion.

Hourly rate negotiable depending on experience and qualifications.

We are shiftworking parents of two children aged 7 and 12 looking for casual care commencing late July to cover early morning starts before school (typically 6/6.30am - 9am). As our rosters vary each week, the specific days and number of mornings per week requiring care will also vary.

We’re looking for someone, preferably local, who can supervise and engage with the kids while they get up and get ready for school. Both are independent and the care is aimed at providing a friendly & reassuring adult presence, keeping them on track and walking our younger child to school (approx. 5 mins). Punctuality and reliability are highly valued.

Hello, my name is Courtney and I'm looking to hire a local babysitter for my son, who is 7 years old.
I am about to start a new job which has slightly longer hours than we’re used to, so we’re looking for someone to help out 2-3 afternoons/evenings per week. We are located in Northcote, near Johnston Park.
Responsibilities will include picking him up from school/after school care and bringing him home - we live a 5 minute walk away from school. From there, it will just be hanging out with him until I get home - light afternoon snack duties but NO dinner prep or other errands required.
Hours would be approximately 3.30pm-6.30pm, 2-3 times a week. Exact hours and days can be worked around the right candidate’s schedule.
Happy to answer any questions if required, look forward to hearing from you!

We are a friendly, busy family based in Eaglemont looking for a reliable and caring babysitter to help care for our two wonderful children, aged 9 and 5.

The role will include after school pickup on Tuesday and Thursday. Our children attend the local primary school, are active, kind and independent, and enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, sport and creative activities.

We are looking for someone warm, organised and dependable who enjoys engaging with children and becoming a trusted part of our family's routine. A driver's licence, Working With Children Check and first aid certificate are preferred.

We would love to hear from you

I'm after a regular sitter for my son, 11. One or two afternoons a week (flexible on which days), about 3.30 to 6.30 or 7pm, plus the occasional weekend.

He's auADHD but he's pretty independent, so it's an easy gig. He's a smart, funny kid who loves gaming and fun facts, and he has a special interest that changes week to week. Chess for a while, then golf, then table tennis, rock climbing, boxing ...you get the picture. You'd want to be someone who's happy to join in on whatever the current thing is.

If you're into gaming or full of random facts yourself, or have a special interest activity you two will get along.

He's been having his afternoons to himself lately and quite likes it, so part of the job is getting him off screens and doing stuff together. He'd game all afternoon if nobody stopped him.

Day to day it's pretty simple: hang out with him, make him some dinner, tidy the kitchen after.

If you've spent time around neurodivergent kids through work, family or your own experience, that's a big plus. He also has NDIS community participation funding, so if you're a qualified support worker or have an ABN activities and outings can be billed at support rates.

I'm a solo parent looking for someone ongoing and reliable, ideally a familiar face he ends up looking forward to.

If that sounds like you, tell me a bit about yourself and what days you're free.

Hello! We are looking for an experienced nanny to help care for our four children - 2 year old boy/girl twins and 8 year old girl and 10 year old girl.

The role includes dropping and picking up the older two kids off at school in nearby Moonee Ponds, then spending the day with our twins doing whatever keeps you and them entertained!

Kids get up around 0730. Twins have a nap at 12pm for 90mins and go to bed at 1900 (just put them in their cots and they go to sleep), older two girls will just need breakfast and dinner and a reminder to brush their teeth! We're in walking distance of Melbourne Zoo, Brunswick Sydney Road and about 3 parks and a few coffee shops!

The standard day will be 0630 - 1830. We're shift workers so there will often be weeks that you won't be needed for the entire day - we'll pay you fixed hours each week so don't worry you won't lose out. We have a car with all the car seats ready to go and for your use both days and we'll provide food in the fridge for you and the kids. We'll provide a roster 3 months in advance so we can all be organised!

If you'd prefer a wrap around role - 0630 - 0900 / 1530 - 1900 - we can do that too, just reach out and we can have a chat.

If you are able to provide a housekeeper role - let me know!

Hello!

We are a family in Alphington with two boys aged 4.5 and 7.5.

We are looking for an experienced, energetic and reliable nanny to join our family for the long term, starting Friday 18 September 2026.

Looking for one full day a week, on Fridays 730am to 6pm. Drop off and pick up for the big boy at the nearby school and looking after the 4 year old in the day. You will do dinner and bath before we get home about 6pm. Some help with laundry during the day would be amazing too when possible.

In addition to one regular day, a few extra casual days and nights will very likely pop up here and there.

Rate is $35-38, negotiable based on experience.

We have had our current beloved nanny for nearly 2 years and she would be happy to chat to you about the role. Sadly she is leaving to go travelling so we need to find a replacement.

We would love to hear from you.

Take care of my toddler Penelope (birthday 31/07/24) on any 3-4 weekdays per week for a limited period of time - 10 August until 11 September. Start and end times up for discussion, but preferred candidates will be available from 8:30am until 7pm. At our Moonee Ponds house.

Must like dogs - we have a cavoodle.

Penelope's middle-of-day nap is usually 2 hours-long. Household chores during this time eg vacuum/mop, laundry, cleaning up after meals, getting Penelope's next meal ready.

Flexibility is key because I may need more support (longer/extra days) if my husband is working late. Also flexibility in terms of juggling new baby and Penelope with me.

Must have an updated vaccination for whooping cough (pertussis).

If you are interested, please respond to this ad and include the following: whether you are available for at least 3-4 days per week, a little about yourself and your experiences in nanny positions, where in Melbourne you live and your phone number. I would love to give you a call and chat to you :)
