Hi there :) We are looking for a Nanny in Ivanhoe, VIC to look after our two children - a 6 yo old son, and 2yo daughter.
We are looking for someone to do the school and childcare pick up, prepare dinner for the kids, bath them and get them ready for bed. Hours would be 2-7pm twice a week- Thursday is a must (as our son has after school sport at the school that this person would need to take him to) and the other day to be Tuesday or Wednesday ideally. We’d love to be able to get out for a date night every few weeks too, so some adhoc babysitting on the weekend would be great.
Requirements:
- experience with toddlers and young children
- be ok with dogs- We have a miniature Labradoodle who is an inside dog.
- have a drivers license and car for picking up kids- we can provide car seats
- be reliable. My husband and I work FT roles so reliability is important to us, as it is for our kids
Hello! We are a young couple living in Fairfield, and have two wonderful girls (3 and 1)
We’re looking for someone to give regular help two days a week (Tuesday and Thursday), plus the occasional evening / weekend (approx two per month)
Hi, our daughter is 23 months old and we now require an extroverted nanny starting in Mid August for the following times every Thursday 3.30-7, Friday 3.30-7pm and some Wednesdays from 10.30 - 5. Its very important to be talkative and engaging as she feels more comfortable with such personalities. We prefer a good history of nannying alongside having first aid certificate, police check, working with children check. We are based in Kew and will, of course, take the time to explain and be around you to help build an easy going routine and comfort between our daughter and you.
Rate - $30 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.
We live in Kew with our 3 children aged 6.5, 4.5 and 2.5; our daughter goes to Camberwell Primary while the other two do a mix of kinder (Hawthorn East) + childcare (Kew).
I am looking for someone who could help weekday afternoons from around 3-6pm - helping with school pick-ups and drop-offs to after-school activities for the oldest 2. We’d need help 1-2 days a week - regular Wednesdays + occasional Mondays / Tuesdays.
During school holidays or weeks when one parent is traveling for work, we may also ask for more hours - as possible.
Ideally, we would love to find someone who is:
* Mature and experienced - bringing confidence, comfort and good judgment around small kids - able to bring fun and playfulness yet maintain firm boundaries
* Warm and kind - creating strong positive attachments with our kids
* Engaged and development oriented - thoughtful about exposing the kids to activities and experiences that will help them learn and grow - i.e., talking and playing vs looking at phones + screens
*Trustworthy, responsible and prompt - shows up when and where promised - always acts with honesty and integrity - proactive in helping where needed
* Respectful - listens to and supports our intentions as parents - takes care to leave the space better than you found it
* Flexible - quick to adapt as needs evolve, willingly flexing tasks / timing to support where it’s most needed
* Has a drivers license, car and clean driving record - and willing and able to drive 2 kids
Bonus points would be someone who:
* Has flexibility for additional hours as needed (esp. during school holidays)
* Speaks French
Will pay a competitive rate for the right fit.
Please message me with CV and references if interested.
