Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Inner Melbourne, VIC

We are a Brazilian / Persian family living in Albert Park, right near the village and #1 tram stop. We have three boys: 7yr old twins and a 3 yr old.

I need ongoing help with mornings and/or afternoons.
Mornings: Getting the boys ready, breakfast, walking to school / daycare and walking the dog.
Afternoons: Picking up from school / daycare and taking them to local activities (lessons). Helping with homework and preparing for dinner / showers.

Preferred days are: Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays

We are flexible, so please apply if you can only do certain days or are available other days.

The ideal candidate should be engaging, energised, organised, calm, disciplined and patient. Whilst drivers license preferred, not necessary as everything is walking distance.

Bonus points if you can help with homework (reading books), play kids games, telling stories and play or understand music.

Just as a FYI - we have a cavoodle (dog) who is very friendly and may need some walks.

Hi There,

We are a family of four, my wife (Nidhi), our daughter (Saara), our dog (Chikoo) and myself.

We are based out of Macleod, about 15km north east of Melbourne city. My wife is currently living away in Sydney as she is doing her three years studies which she started in January this year. Hence the need for me to have someone to take care of Saara as an elder sister.

I have a background in IT (Cyber Security) and also have a growing business in my spare time as my long term plan. Saara is mostly independent as an 11 yrs old and your work would mainly be around helping her as a elder sister / friend along with basic household chores. You get pocket money, a separate ensuite, food, internet, Netflix, Disney+, Prime etc etc. As yet we have had 3 AuPairs and it has been a wonderful experience for both sides.

If you are a student completing your studies, we can work on a schedule to make sure you can balance your time accordingly. If this is something you are looking for, I am keen to hear from you and get to the details.

Thanks

I have a six year old son who requires school pick up at least three days per week. I would need someone to be available from 3 pm to 6 - 7 pm. During this time if you could help with his homework, play with him and prepare dinner for the family that would be amazing. I may ask for errands to be run and light cleaning. Note; I have two small poodles who are very friendly.

There is a strong possibility this may be offered permanently after initial period. I can also be flexible on pick up days.
