Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Kew VIC

Hi, our daughter is 2.5 years old and we now require an energetic, caring and extroverted nanny (who is at least 21 years old) on Thurs and Fri 12 - 4.30 during the week. Its very important to be talkative and playful 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 and references. 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 - $35 per hour. Appreciate your time, thank you.

We are a busy family with two boys needing kindy and school pick up on Wednesdays and getting to and from basketball training. There is the potential to increase to a Thursday morning 6-9 drop off also. Someone warm and friendly to help the boys unpack their bags and maybe do the odd tidy up if the morning has been chaos.

We’re looking for a reliable, kind, punctual, competent nanny with good communication skills, who can help us look after our 14 month old and 4 year old boys.

This job will be until October 2026, and the days may change depending on the work I have after October (and I understand if you can only do this job until October 2026). The job will be between 8 AM to 5 PM on Mondays (one day a week). The other potential days will be either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday after Oct 2026.

We live in between the 109 and 48 tram lines, close to Kew Junction.

We're looking for someone who can competently look after two children, i.e. get them dressed, bring them outside to play, enforce screen-free time as much as possible and foster indoor play, prepare simple meals and feed them meals, tidy areas related to their meals and play after use.

We also want someone who can manage emergent situations i.e. when kids are unwell, or at least recognise when these are situations that need escalation.

A paid trial will be required before officially commencing.

We are looking at $40 per hour as a casual rate.

Please message me your CV and contact details. We will require two references.

Looking forward to chatting!

Hi - We are a family of 4 looking for someone to help with our 3 (about to turn 4yo) son and do pick up drop off for his big brother (8) who is at school about 10mins drive away from our home. Our youngest is currently a massive spiderman and monster truck fan and is a whiz at magnatiles.

If you only have afternoon availability please reach out too - we've got a bit of flexibility

The average day is the school run, park plays, a wander down the street for a snack adventure and whatever other fun you can come up with.

Currently days we need are Thursday and Friday 8-6pm with light house tidying and kids meal prep and ideally we'd love someone to be with us for the next few years if its a good fit!

We (Laura, Marc, Henry (6y) , Rosie (4y) and Georgie (18m)) are looking for a kind, caring, gentle, loving and fun nanny to help our family out on a Tuesday each week from 7:30am - 5:30pm.

A typical day will look like:

7:30am - Arrive into chaos, but also sleepy morning hugs. Hopefully the kids are dressed and eating breakfast, but maybe not. Tag team with Laura and Marc as they go off to exercise and work. Ensure Henry is ready for school (lunchbox etc) , and the girls are dressed and ready to drop him off.

8:20am - Drive to school, drop Henry off with high fives ready for an 8:50am school start

8:50am - 3pm - Spend the day with Rosie and Georgie - Arts and crafts, baking, library visits, trips to the zoo/park, or play it by feel/mood. Georgie is still on 2 naps, Rosie can have a little bit of gentle TV in the middle of the day to give you some space to eat / help with some folding / throw some ingredients into the slow cooker for dinner or just recalibrate yourself and the house depending on the days activities.

3pm - Drive to school to pick Henry up with the girls.

4pm-5:30pm - Henry and Rosie usually play to catch up on the day, then bath the kids, and a little dinner prep would be appreciated. Laura or Marc will then be home and takeover. You may have arrived into chaos, but hopefully you leave in calm :)

About us: We like the simple things in life, we try to parent gently, we would appreciate a nanny who understands and is patient with the ever changing emotions of a developing brain, we validate emotions while also set appropriate boundaries.

In our spare time we love to go camping, gardening, baking, spending time with family and friends, exploring rock pools, exercise is a big part of the adult routines, the kids do swimming and AusKick.

Henry loves nature, arts and crafts especially drawing and adores school. Rosie loves imaginative play, dressing up and going to the library and shops, Georgie loves helping, climbing, animals and emptying out the kitchen cupboards! There is a lot of love between the siblings and only fairly minor fights, Henry and Rosie can play for hours. They love Georgie fiercely, Rosie on occasion a little too much and is very protective of her family :)

About you: We would love someone who has heaps of common sense, uses initiative, is good at cooking and baking, generous with their hugs and love, happy to get on the floor and play, while we understand the need for breathers and breaks if the kids are having some downtime, we would also love a little help with hanging out a wash load, folding some clothes etc but this is secondary to the kids care and attention.

Extra Context: I (Laura) have just got a new job and the hours, etc are still a little up in the air, there may be additional shifts available e.g. a morning or evening, and casual babysitting if there is interest. But our core requirement is a reliable Tuesday full day shift. We would like someone close-by to help with this flexibility. I may be working from home on the Tuesday, but preferably at the office. I will try to keep myself hidden as Georgie can be clingy if I am around, but she is completely fine when I'm not!
