Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Essendon West VIC

Hi I am looking for a reliable babysitter to care for my child starting this Sunday but to be a long term commitment.

Hello my name is Liz and I am a mum to 4 kids. I live in Avondale Heights. I am looking for someone specifically for Wednesday 21 Jan to look after my 4 kids from 8:45am until around 11am or a little later (just a few hours in the morning) We do use babysitters from time to time, so it's likely this job would lead to more casual babysitting later. If you are available on the morning of Wednesday 21 January and you love working with kids, have all the relevant checks such as WWCC and references and you live close to Avondale Heights, please message me.

Our little rainbow family is looking for a caring, reliable babysitter / nanny to help with our 4.5‑month‑old son. This role is casual and ad hoc, with daytime support and the occasional evening. We’re hoping to build a genuine, long‑term relationship with someone who values connection, gentle care, and nurturing curiosity. If you love getting outdoors, enjoy engaging with little ones, and appreciate a family who leads an active lifestyle, we’d love to meet you.

Our lovely baby sitter has moved so we’re seeking a reliable, local babysitter to assist with daycare and school pickup during the week. We live in Pascoe Vale and have two Swaussie (Swedish/Aussie) girls, aged 3 and 6. They enjoy going to the park, animals (we have an elderly dog and a cat), arts and crafts, reading books, and dancing. They’re very entertaining and enjoyable to be around, though they do have occasional meltdowns when it’s time to leave the park. We’re always happy to help if that happens if you struggle. :)

The role involves picking them up at 3 pm from daycare or school two days a week (we can be flexible with it being Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday). You’ll most likely take them to the park for a hour before we arrive home around 5 pm. They enjoy outdoor activities, but we only have a small yard, so visiting the park is ideal.

We’re looking for a 20+ female who is confident, creative, active, playful, honest, safety-minded, reliable, and positive. A personal car is necessary for this role, as the school is about a 10-minute drive from our house. We’ll provide the car seats, but ideally, you’d be comfortable having them in most weeks (we’re happy to reinstall them every once in a while).

We want our kids to get the most out of their childhood, especially through play, and hope to find someone who can help facilitate that. We’ll pay a casual rate and you’ll need insurance. We’ll ask you to keep phone use to a minimum when you’re with the kids. Besides than that we’re pretty flexible and easy going. We’d hope you could commit to about a year if we’re a good fit. Our previous babysitter is happy to be a reference for us.

*** Please, please, only reply if you’re genuinely interested and looking for a job like this. Meeting us is an important step in deciding whether we’re a good fit for someone but to simply not show up after being offered and accepting the role becomes a massive problem for us. Ghosting someone who relies on them to make their everyday run smoothly is just not ok. Also, the kids are usually very excited about their new nanny and it’s hard to explain why someone simply didn’t show.

Communication is key - even if you change your mind! We rather you tell us!***
