Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Hawthorn VIC

Hi! We have 2 great and busy girls, 8 and 10, and live in Kew. We both work in the city.

We are looking for someone to pick them up from Hawthorn West primary (you can walk ~1km from our house) on Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursdays each week. The afternoon would involve helping them get snack and ready for their activities, as well are prepping dinner sometimes. They are largely self-sufficient. It would be 2-3 hours each afternoon.

Thanks,

Hi, I am a single father that shares care of my two boys with my ex wife. My boys are 9yrs old and 14yrs old and I have them in my house in Hawthorn East every second week from Wednesday to Monday morning. I need local after school pick up and care including taking to sports practices/music lessons nearby for the nine year old who is in grade three from Wednesday to Friday every second week. May include some morning school drop offs on these days.

Care includes pick up from local primary school, preparing afternoon snacks, taking to nearby sports lessons by car, returning to home. Ideally would include some basic evening meal preparation and basic housework where practical until I return from work circa 6pm. The older boy is relatively self sufficient and can get himself home. May need the occasional pick up/take to sports training nearby. Both boys are well mannered and well behaved.

Details to be agreed with suitable candidate.

Hi there!

We’re looking for a wonderful and reliable nanny or babysitter to help with before school care on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 7am–9am.

We have three children aged 13, 7, and 5. Our 13-year-old is very independent and doesn’t require any care in the mornings, but we’re seeking someone to help get our two younger boys ready for school and kindergarten.

The role includes:
• Starting at 7am
• Assisting the boys with breakfast, getting dressed, and school prep
• Walking them to school and kinder (both are within a 20–25 minute walk from our home) (20 minutes is also at a slow pace)
• Taking our friendly dog along for the walk, if you’re comfortable with that – he loves joining the school run!

We’re a relaxed and friendly household, and this role would suit someone local who is looking for a few regular hours during the week.

There may also be opportunities for additional casual babysitting on weekends if you’re interested.

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!
