Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Brighton VIC

We are looking for a long term nanny to join our family in caring for our two girls (4.5yrs and 7yrs). Start date can be flexible, and ideally by the 16/02/2026.

Our ideal candidate is a career nanny or experienced uni student with a flexible timetable who is kind, active, with a big imagination who finds humour in the chaos and wants to make a lasting connection with our girls.

About us: Dad is an anaesthetist with long and varying hours. Mum is a paediatric cardiac nurse also studying. We live walking distance (10-15mins) to Elsternwick Park, Elsternwick station, Elwood shopping strip and Martin St. We try to parent with respect and understanding of normal childhood development and behaviour (see @biglittlefeelings and @drbeckyatgoodinside for general principles). Our goal is to ensure our kids feel loved, valued and safe. Our previous nanny is happy to speak to candidates as our reference too.

We have a very friendly english bulldog named Louis who loves company. Experience and a love of dogs is essential. Both girls love gymnastics, art, music, Lego, and no day is complete without a jump on the trampoline!

Role and Responsibilities: School pick up and drop off Tuesday and Thursdays, with flexible occasional Mondays. Light housework (unpacking the dishwasher, kids food prep, folding clothes etc...), and dog walking is extremely helpful to us.

Job nitty gritty: Happy to pay 4weeks annual leave and sick leave pro-rata. Pay $35p/hr for the right experience.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello,

We are a busy family of 4 and are looking for someone to help us out a few days a week (might vary depending on availability). We have 2 gorgeous girls, one in Primary school and one about to start Senior school, whilst both my husband and I run different businesses.

We'd love a little help getting our family organised. In terms of the girls, it would be getting them from school (& possibly to) and co-ordinating some of the logistics around their after school activities. We would love sometime on a longer term basis, to spend some time with them whether it's homework help, playing on the trampoline, shooting hoops or recreating tik tok dances!

We'd love help of around 10-12hrs per week if possible but someone with some flexibility. Additional hours would be available when we travel or need a night out.

Our ideal scenario for now would be;
- Tuesday from 9-5pm (would involve some drop offs, pick ups and school pick ups) with some light house work, errands and possible dog walking in between.
- Wednesday afternoons 3-6pm
- Depending on availability there could also be a few mornings we'd like help with too.
- Depending on availability a fortnightly scheduled date night would be a bonus

We have 2 busy daughters aged 9yrs & 12yrs with lots of scheduled activities to keep them busy (gymnastics, netball, swimming, acting classes).

We had a long term Nanny but these days we don't need quite as much help. We’d love to have the same person to call on so the girls can build a relationship and to also help put with the occasional babysitting for weekday date nights or weekends.

Must have a safe and reliable car and driving record for pick ups and drop offs. Must love dogs (we only have one, she's a big teddy bear).

We'd love you to get in touch and meet the girls.

My ideal candidate would also speak afrikaans or German … I am Afrikaans and would like the children to also continue to speak but it’s not a deal breaker just an advantage.

Hi there 😊
My name is Sarah and I’m a mum to three lovely girls aged 9, 10 and 13. I work casually as a nurse and pathology collector and I’m currently looking for a local babysitter/carer who is responsible, reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to hear from you and chat further.
