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’ve recently relocated from the Surf Coast to Melbourne and are looking for a wonderful part-time nanny to become part of our family and help care for our two daughters, aged 4 and 7.

Tuesdays | 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Our eldest will need to be dropped off at school in the morning, after which you'll spend the day with our youngest. We'd love someone who enjoys creating fun, engaging days—whether that's arts and crafts at home, trips to the museum or library, playground adventures, or other age-appropriate activities.

In the afternoon, you'll collect our eldest from school, prepare dinner for the girls, and finish around 5:00 pm.

Thursdays | 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
You'll begin by giving the house a light tidy and preparing dinner for the girls. Once we bring them home from sport, we'd love you to help with dinner, bath time, and the bedtime routine. Thursday is our regular date night, so we'll be home by around 8:00 pm.

We're also likely to offer extra hours to assist with our social schedules on weekend every now and then

Warm, caring and genuinely enjoys spending time with children.
Fun, energetic and playful, with plenty of initiative.
Happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, and happy to cook meals.
A confident driver with a current driver's licence.
Reliable, organised and looking for a long-term role with a lovely family.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you and learn a little about your experience and why you think you'd be a great fit for our family.

The 3 girls are at the same school, which is walking distance or a short drive from our house.

The role would primarily be helping with:
- school pick-ups

- bringing home and helping with dinner/ bath

Please note, we do require you have your license. Our car can be used for pickups..

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.
Thanks,
Ilan

Hi, I’m Whitney, and I'm currently looking for someone reliable to help as I head back to work next month.

We have three children aged 9, 6 and 2½, and we've never needed to use anyone other than our parents for childcare.

Unfortunately, my husband's mum hasn't been in the best health recently, and my mum has a three-week trip booked starting the first week of my new job (it's always the way!).

My husband and I have often talked about how nice it would be to have someone we know, trust and can rely on whenever we need an extra helping hand.

The main role would be caring for our youngest, Lenny, who is 2½. He attends childcare on Wednesdays, so we'd be looking for care on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during the three weeks my mum is away. After that, we'd likely need help one or two days a week to help share the load.

I'd love to have a chat about what we're looking for and see if it might fit with your availability.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Whitney

We're a friendly family in Coburg looking for a warm, energetic nanny to care for our two children, Henry (5) and Sofia (2) on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:30am–3:30pm, starting 3 August.

We're looking for someone who loves getting out and about and creating fun, active days. We'd love our kids to spend their days exploring playgrounds, museums, the zoo, libraries, bike rides, nature walks and other local adventures. On rainy days, we'd love someone who can keep them entertained with arts and crafts, sensory play, baking, games and imaginative play.

Henry is a curious and creative five-year-old who loves dinosaurs, arts and crafts, riding his bike and discovering new things. Sofia is our little firecracker. She is full of personality, always on the go, and happiest making everyone pretend coffees in her play kitchen.

Sofia still usually has a nap around midday. She doesn't nap well when out, so on most days we'd like her to be home around lunchtime (12-1pm) for her sleep. Occasionally, we're happy for her to skip her nap if there's a special outing planned.

We're looking for someone who is:

* Warm, kind and reliable.

Hey Nannies,

Looking for an experienced nanny for a 2 year old and newborn. Mostly with the 2 year old!

Looking for a loving and kind/ energetic nanny to hang with a sweet toddler and help with the new bub. We’re looking for someone who wants to be apart of the family.

Day Nanny work - 2 days a week - With additional nights when needed. Needs to be firm days so we can have a routine ☺️

We have a 2 year old who loves music and to play. Looking for an experience nanny who loves little ones and is happy to help with household chores like washing, cleaning up and tidying up toys.

Must have references and experience for young children and babies. Nannies over 25 years please apply.

Please send me personalised message about yourself and your contact details when applying.

We are looking for an easy going, energetic, play-loving babysitter to look after our 3.5 year old daughter for 4 evenings per week. From 4:30-8:30 pm, four week nights, no weekends. The right person would love playing games, have an active imagination and be fun loving. We will be at home. The role is play based.

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.
