I’ve got two little boys (3 years old and 5 months old) and I’m looking for a nanny to help out two days a week. I’m heading back to work after maternity leave and need a hand during my busy hours—roughly 4–5 hours a day.
If the boys are napping or keeping themselves entertained, it’d be awesome to have a bit of help with some light housework (only if time allows, of course!).
Would love someone with experience looking after young kids around this age.
Our beloved nanny is pursuing full time study, so we are looking for someone to fill her role.
You will be caring for our 3 year old boy, and our 5 year old girl, including kinder and school pick ups.
Our 3 year old boy is talkative, active, cheeky and very affectionate. He loves creative play, books and anything related to dinosaurs and Thomas the Tank Engine. Our 5 year old girl is articulate, insightful and imaginative. She loves messy play and creating involved scenarios in her games. She is a kind, protective older sister.
Jess (Mother) is a Paediatric physiotherapist working at the Monash Children’s Hospital and as a private clinician with local children. Lachy works full time in management for a property developer in Hawthorn.

• Thursday – 3pm to 5:30pm (2.5 hours), including kinder and school pick ups.
We would like a nanny who is kind and proactive. We are very intentional parents, and we would like someone willing to come alongside us and implement our strategies for managing behavior (the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly!)
Some light housework would be much appreciated – such as hanging out a load of washing, some folding, loading dishes in the dishwasher as they are created etc. Our kids love to help us and our current nanny with these tasks and enjoy being given little jobs to assist.
We also have a friendly 13yo border collie, so we are hoping for someone who is comfortable with dogs.
All applicants will need to supply a current Working with Children Check (WWC), Victorian driver's license, have access to a car suitable for installing two car seats (we will supply the car seats) and references from past clients.

Hi babysitters! We're looking for someone to help out for a few hours regularly on the weekends with our 2 girls aged 4 and 1. We can be flexible with day and time. My husband and I are both around, we just need an extra pair of hands so we can get a few things done!
Our last beautiful babysitter was with us for 3 years while she completed her degree and she really became like part of the family, so we're hoping to find someone reliable who can commit to regular hours each week and will be with us long-term. There will be opportunities for extra hours on school holidays, again we can be pretty flexible with days and times and are happy to work around uni and other job commitments.
The position will initially be mostly helping out with our 4-year-old - she loves to do arts and crafts, read, board games and puzzles and play outside. We have a great backyard and several parks within walking/scooting distance. As our 1-year-old gets a bit older there is also the potential for additional hours helping out with her during the week. We're looking for someone who is fun, kind, patient, helpful and reliable who wants to build a genuine connection with our girls. If this sounds like you or you have any questions we'd love to hear from you 😊
Hi there :) We are looking for a Nanny in Ivanhoe, VIC to look after our two children - a 6 yo old son, and 2yo daughter.
We are looking for someone to do the school and childcare pick up, prepare dinner for the kids, bath them and get them ready for bed. Hours would be 2-7pm twice a week- Thursday is a must (as our son has after school sport at the school that this person would need to take him to) and the other day to be Tuesday or Wednesday ideally. We’d love to be able to get out for a date night every few weeks too, so some adhoc babysitting on the weekend would be great.
Requirements:
- experience with toddlers and young children
- be ok with dogs- We have a miniature Labradoodle who is an inside dog.
- have a drivers license and car for picking up kids- we can provide car seats
- be reliable. My husband and I work FT roles so reliability is important to us, as it is for our kids
We are after a babysitter 2/3 days per week for our 2.5 YO daughter who has been in day care the past year but was getting too sick all the time and we have decided to give her immune system a rest. We are a family of 4 living in Camberwell which includes a 10 YO girl and a docile and fun loving caboodle.
Looking for someone to help with the school run and the hour or two around that. Would involve chilling with my daughter (5) and helping her get ready in the mornings and the same after school on certain days. 5-10 minute drive to school and any questions feel free to ask. Start date is ASAP
Our vibrant family of five in Ashburton is on the lookout for a truly wonderful nanny to join our happy household! Meet our delightful trio: a charming 9-year-old girl, an energetic 8-year-old boy, and a playful 6-year-old boy.
We're seeking a special someone to provide before and after school care on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're really hoping to find a nanny who isn't just great with kids, but also a fantastic organiser who can help ensure our home and all the children's activities are seamlessly managed. This means a few flexible hours during school time dedicated to kid-related household tasks, like preparing healthy meals, keeping on top of laundry, and baking those all-important school snacks.
Let's break down the days:
Mornings (7:15 am - 9:15 am): Your role would be instrumental in getting our children ready for school and assisting with their drop-off. The best part? The school is a short, less than 5-minute walk away, so no driving is necessary! There may also be an opportunity to get ahead on some meal or after-school snack preparation.
Afternoons (3:00 pm - 6:30 pm): This segment involves gathering after-school snacks, picking up the children from school (at 3:30 pm), and safely transporting them to their activities in a car we provide (most activities are approximately a 10-minute drive from our home). Upon returning home, your assistance with showering the children and some dinner preparation would be incredibly valuable.
If you're an organised, proactive, and warm individual ready to become an integral part of our family's routine, we would absolutely love to hear from you.
We are a 2-dad family looking for an experienced nanny to provide childcare for our 3-year old boy for 1-day (Thursday) per week from 7.30am-6pm. You should be suitably qualified with a number of years experience with toddlers.

Bi-lingual applicants encouraged, including those with a keen interest in infant education through visual & verbal interaction and play.
Applicants must be comfortable working with a dog in the house. He's anxious at first, but will warm up over time.
We're looking for someone who can commit to a long term position and is very reliable. Please don't hesitate to send me a message to discuss this role further.
