Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Balaclava VIC

Hi everyone! We are a Polish/South African (And now Australian) family of 4 looking for a wonderful nanny for our kids twice a week.

The job would include picking both kids up from school and then taking them to their after school activities twice a week - Wednesday 3:30 - 6pm and Thursday 3:30 - 7pm.
Drivers license essential. Would be great if you had your own car, but we do have one you could use - not a deal breaker. We live within walking distance to the school and their activities are also accessible by public transport if I need the car that day. Because we don’t have any family here, we would also like you to babysit occasionally if that’s an option.

Josie (7) and Sam (10) are very easy going and this role would be great for someone who actually loves spending time with, and interacting with kids. I know they'd also appreciate it if you sometime go with them into the wave pool at MSAC before their swim lessons on Thursdays :)

Hello! We are Marie & Will and are a half Dutch half Australian family with 2 girls (Pippa of 5 years and Zoë of 2 years). We relocated from Amsterdam to Melbourne (Elwood) last year.

We are looking for a casual babysitter to look after Pippa & Zoë occasionally in the evenings, mostly weekends.

They are generally quite easy and fun to be around, love to dance, sing and read books.

Hourly rate $ 25 for evenings, preferably someone who lives locally, Elwood or surrounding suburbs.

It would be great to find someone for Saturday the 9th of May but even if you are not available that date but interested to meet us, we’d love to hear from you!

My husband and I are looking for a nanny for Tuesdays and occasional Thursdays. We have a girl aged 10 and boy aged 7. They are pretty easy going. We live in Elsternwick.

We’d like someone who can collect them from school, drop-off/pick-up (car needed) from their extra-curricular activities and feed them snacks/heat up dinner.

If this sounds interesting, we look forward to speaking with you!

A warm and busy household is seeking a responsible, energetic, proactive, and reliable housekeeper/nanny to support a single father caring for two sons (aged 8 and 18), both living at home full-time.
________________________________________
Role Overview:
This role is ideal for someone who is highly organised, confident managing a home, and enjoys working with children. The position involves both household management and light childcare. must be able to cook
________________________________________
Key Responsibilities:
• General household duties – tidying, cleaning, organising
• Laundry, including washing, folding, ironing, and changing beds
• Cooking healthy, family-friendly meals
• School run: 1 morning drop-off and 2 afternoon pickups per week
• Occasional weekend
• Supporting and supervising homework and after-school routines
• Helping ensure a calm, well-organised home environment
________________________________________

We are searching for a caring, fun and responsible nanny to help us 1-2 afternoons per week. The hours would typically be between 3pm and 6pm on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. We have a 3 YO boy and 5 YO girl in prep. They are outgoing and warm kids, that love playing together and enjoy time outdoors. We are looking for someone who could collect the children from school and daycare, and bring them home to start the evening routine with them, including prepare dinner for the kids. We are looking for someone who is warm, genuinely enjoys being with the kids but also someone who is proactive and can assist with general tidying/ light housework and kids dinner preparation.

Hi, babysitters! I am looking for someone to work with our family on a weekly, part-time basis from Monday through Thursday afternoons/evenings at our home in South Yarra, near Hawksburn village. One-off babysitting help on the weekend would also be great as well, if you're open to it, if we have something on occasionally in the evenings.

My husband and I both work during the week, usually with at least one of us working from home, and we're seeking some assistance with entertaining the kids when they get home from school with activities like drawing, reading, doing puzzles, cooking/preparing dinner, kicking a ball in the backyard, playing at one of the nearby playgrounds... really anything except sitting them in front of the TV!

The kids usually eat dinner around 6pm, so when they sit down to eat we'd appreciate your help getting their bath ready and then cleaning up dinner once they're done (we will give them their bath and put them to bed). Very rarely would you be alone with the children, so we're happy to help as needed while we finish up work.

We have three children: a 6 year old boy, 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy. All three are at school/kinder during the day and finish up at different times in the afternoon, so during the afternoons you'd spend with us it would range from looking after 0 kids (when we're picking them up, and would appreciate your help with housework like tidying their bedrooms, folding laundry, preparing dinner, etc), to 1 kid, 2 kids or 3 kids max (for about an hour or so when they're all back from school).

The total weekly hours that we need are around 13, across the following schedule:

Monday: 4pm-7pm
Tuesday: 4pm-7pm
Wednesday: 3pm-7pm
Thursday: 4pm-7pm

It would be great if this could be completed by one babysitter, but we are also open to splitting it across two people on different days if that aligns better with the schedules for the right person.

Ideally, the right person for our family will be someone who is kind, warm and caring. Our kids are pretty easy going but of course, try to push the limits! We'd appreciate someone who is creative and can engage them in creative pursuits - they love everything with paint, play-doh, and anything tactile!

Any other questions - don't hesitate to reach out! Excited to welcome you to our family :)
