Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in East Melbourne VIC

Looking for regular care 1-2x a week for our 2-year-old son, occasional evenings, and occasional daycare dropoff/pick up

We're an American-Bangladeshi family staying in Carlton North from Sept - Feb
Both professionals working Mon-Fri with 1 on US hours/Aus nights

Our son is in daycare in Carlton, and we'd like him home 1-2 days with half-day care on those days to go to parks, library, zoo, backyard activities, etc; flexible on which day(s)

He's a joyful, social kid who likes to explore, so looking for someone with energy who likes toddlers and can support his development and assist with our routines (food, nappies, bedtime); comfort taking public transit for nearby adventures and walking with pram to nearby spots; occasional assistance with food prep/light housework appreciated as well

Our ideal is someone fluent in Bengali or Spanish + English, as he was in Spanish daycare and dad speaks Bengali; he's just starting to speak more, so we'd like to encourage language

We are a young family in the bayside/portphilip area (close to the beach/ public transport and the city). Looking for a Demi pair with some availability for extra hours on the weekends if mutually convenient. 2 kids with professional working single mum need house help, home work help and less intensive childcare than babies as the kids are 7 and 9. We are not an up tight house hold as we are busy. Kids are only in my custody 5 days a week and half the school holidays so lots of opportunities for you to have holidays. Preferences for any French speakers.

We're Anthony, Taryn & our gorgeous little boy Cooper (19months), and we're on the lookout for an incredible nanny to become part of our village.
We're not just looking for someone to watch Coops, we're looking for someone who'll genuinely enjoys being part of his world. Someone who will celebrate his milestones, encourage his curiosity, embrace messy play, read the same book ten times in a row (with enthusiasm), dance around the lounge room, head out for adventures to the park, and help him continue growing into the happy, confident little boy he is.
A little about us, we're a warm, close-knit family who love a laugh, value kindness, honesty and open communication & believe the best relationships are built on trust & respect. We want our nanny to feel like an extension of our family, not just someone who comes to work each day.

Full-Time Nanny Position, Richmond

We're a busy, organised family with three children in Richmond looking for an experienced, full-time nanny to join our household. We've had a full-time nanny since our eldest was 3 months old, and this is a genuinely valued role in our family.

The children

- Two girls, aged 8 and 6, who attend the local primary school (7 minutes' walk from home)
- One boy, aged 3, who will attend kinder locally in 2027.
- They enjoy cycling, soccer, swimming, reading, dancing, crafting and outdoor play. No special needs.

The role

- Full-time position, commencing Thursday 5 November, with two days' handover alongside our outgoing nanny before her last day on Friday 6 November
- School drop-off and kinder drop-off, both on foot. No car or driving is required for the role, though a parking permit is available if you'd prefer to drive to work.
- During term time in 2027, all three children will be out of the house on Mondays and Wednesdays (kinder 8.30am to 1.00pm, school 9.00am to 3.30pm). We'll generally roster a later start on these two days
- Light housekeeping (eg laundry, children's bed linen changes) and basic children's meal prep (snack preparation) will form part of the role, to bring the position up to full-time hours during these gaps
- Full-time employment with a proper contract, WorkCover cover, payslips and annual leave

What we're looking for

- Prior nannying experience highly desired
- Someone who's reliable, warm with children, and comfortable being part of a busy family routine
- Ability to walk for 25 minutes to and from kindergarten with a pram (and a 3 year old on the return journey) twice a week during term time

How to apply

- We'll be interviewing from October. Please send your CV to jilliantomlinson@gmail.com along with any details about you that would be helpful for us to know.

We are looking for an experienced, reliable, kind, fun and easy-going nanny who can help out with our 3 gorgeous girls (7, 5 and 4 years old)

We are looking for someone that can help on Monday and Tuesday after school hours (3 to 6:30-7.00pm).

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
- taking to after school activities nearby
- bringing home and helping with dinner/ bath

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

We are after Mon and Tues after school.

If this is something that you may be interested in, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for a warm, fun and energetic male babysitter/manny to become a regular part of our family’s support network and spend time with our two children, aged 8 and 10.

We’d particularly love to find someone who genuinely enjoys hanging out with kids and is happy getting outdoors and doing active things — kicking a soccer ball or footy, shooting hoops, bike rides, trips to the park, swimming, or whatever the kids are interested in. Our 8-year-old son would especially benefit from someone who can help him build confidence with ball sports in a really casual, fun way — we’re definitely not looking for formal coaching!

Our 10-year-old daughter may sometimes want to join in and at other times do her own thing, so we’re looking for someone who is equally happy spending time with both kids and following their interests.

Both children have lots of interests beyond sport and we’d love someone who can just enjoy being with them — whether that means Minecraft, Lego, drawing, playing games, going on an outing or having a kick at the park.

This isn’t intended to be a super-structured role. We’re really looking for the right person: someone kind, responsible, engaged and playful who could ideally build a great ongoing relationship with the kids. It could suit a uni student, teacher/PE teacher in training, sports coach or someone already working with children.

Initially we’re thinking a few hours once or twice a week, with flexibility for additional babysitting, weekends and school holidays if it suits everyone.

A current Working With Children Check is essential, and we’d also require references and a police check. A driver’s licence, first aid qualification and previous experience with primary-school-aged children would be highly regarded.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who really likes kids and will make spending time together feel like fun rather than another organised activity.
