Hello, my name is Anna.

We are a family of five living in Malvern, with three boys aged 7, 6 and 5, and we are looking for someone for regular, casual babysitting.

We would love to find someone who is responsible, mature, energetic and proactive, and who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

Our boys love playing sport outdoors, exploring nature, baking and playing games, so we are hoping to find someone who enjoys getting involved and having fun with them.

We are also looking for someone who is happy to help with simple household tasks and tidy up after the boys as part of their role.

Evening babysitting may include things like emptying the dishwasher, tidying up and folding the children’s laundry when needed.

Most importantly, we hope to find someone who will enjoy spending time with our boys and become a trusted, valued part of our family. We would love to build a great relationship with someone we can rely on and who feels equally comfortable and happy working with us.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Many thanks,
Anna

Our beloved long-time nanny is sadly returning home to Scotland after several years with us. We are looking for a special person our boys can build that same, close connection with.

Because I am a Master's student, my roster changes slightly between semesters, so this role is perfect for someone who can be flexible and adjust to a dynamic schedule!

The Schedule:
- For the remainder of this year: casual evening babysitting (Fri/Sat) to get to know the boys and build familiarity.
- December: Some casual half-days (daytime care).

- March - Mid-Year (Semester 1): Approx. 14–15 hours per week (e.g. 3 half-days from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm). Exact days/times confirmed mid-February once my timetable is finalised.
- University Semester Breaks: Returns to 2 full days per week (8:00 am – 3:30 pm)

Key Responsibilities:
- Keeping the boys active and engaged without screen time. Managing a transition to quiet play, drawing or reading with the 4yo while the 2yo takes his midday nap.
- Outings & Kinder Runs: Taking the boys to local parks and the library. Managing morning drop-offs for our 4-year-old at kindergarten using public transport (he attends 3 days a week).
- Preparing snacks and meals.
- Light Household Help: Folding the kids' clean laundry, unstacking the dishwasher and ensuring play areas are tidied up together after activities.

Our 4yo is anaphylactic to nuts and is currently outgrowing an egg allergy. It is essential that you feel confident and competent identifying reactions and administering an EpiPen if an emergency arises.

We are seeking a mature adult with experience who can commit to the full 2027 calendar year. It is important that you are reliable and arrive on time. This position requires someone who can confidently manage toddler boundaries and big emotions with a caring and gentle approach.

Regular Thursdays, 3.30–7.30pm, some Wednesday afternoons if available, plus flexible casual hours on weekends, school holidays and some evenings.

Duties include after-school activity drop-offs, playing with the kids and preparing an easy dinner (usually pasta!). Unlikely to have all three kids at once.

Please get in touch if you love having fun with kids and think you’d be a good fit!

Support a single Dad with 3 amazing children! Loving home, dog included.

Looking for a happy, reliable, caring person to become a trusted part of our routine on a long-term basis. The main job is a simple one: on Tuesday and Sunday evenings, collect the kids (14, 9 and 7) from our home in South Yarra at 6pm sharp and drive them to their mum's place on St Kilda Road for 6:30pm. About an hour all up including your return. Some weeks it's one evening, some weeks both. You'd pop in briefly, gather the troops and go. Same person every time - the kids need to know and trust you, so we'd have you over to meet them once or twice first.

If you'd like more hours, I'd love a hand with light housekeeping and/or ironing on a weekday - entirely by arrangement.

Over January there'll be a few Sunday evenings where the kids are holidaying on the Mornington Peninsula (Portsea) - a short local run at 6:30pm, with your travel paid. If you're down that way over summer, even better.

You'll ideally:
- Have experience caring for children and a calm, easy-going, organised manner

Minimum 1.5 hours per run, paid weekly. Starting November.

If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you - tell me a bit about yourself, your experience, your WWCC and police check status, and your Tuesday and Sunday evening availability. Any questions, just ask.

I'm looking for 1-2 nannies in or near SOUTH YARRA to take my twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). In the morning, it's quite easy - you change their nappy from the night, give them a formula bottle, and take them to childcare, which is 5 minutes away, between 7-8am in the morning, so it can take about 30-40 minutes total.
In the evening, you pick them up from childcare at 6pm, then feed (solid food)/wash/change them before going to bed at 8pm, so 2 hours total (6-8pm)
In addition, each nanny does 1 day on the weekend, for example, Saturday Or Sunday from 12-5pm (or 1-6pm).
Ideally, you should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light duties, such as kids' laundry, food prep, cleaning after them.
If interested and qualified, please contact me to discuss asap.
Thanks,
Ilan

Hi there! We have a 6 yr old boy and 9 yr old girl… Mum and Dad have busy work schedules and need a little help!

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable babysitter to help us out one afternoon a week (likely Wednesdays if that works) — picking the kids up from school at 3:30 pm and hanging out with them until about 6:30 pm (timing negotiable).

We live about a 5–10 minute drive from the school. The job involves collecting the kids, supervising homework, creating a fun/relaxing afternoon vibe, preparing simple snacks or dinner, and a bit of light tidying of kid-related chaos. The job may involve taking kids to activities, so a reliable car and safe, confident driver is important.

Some weeks, we might ask if you’re free for an extra afternoon, an occasional date night, or a few hours on the weekend.. especially when one parent is travelling for work.

Looking for someone to help look after 7.5 month old daughter.
I will be working at home I just need an extra set of hands.
Must be ok with dogs as i have a 2 year ols golden retriever

We are looking for a babysitter for our happy and energetic 4 year old girl.
We are looking for someone to assist with kinder pickup in St Kilda on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. On Monday and Wednesday to an after school activity and Tuesday straight home.
This would be about 2 weeks per month as my husband works away from home 50 percent of the time, so care would only be required when he is away.
We also have a dog and cat, so you will need to be happy with pets although you won’t be responsible for them.
The timings are:
Monday: pick up 3:15, Jiu jitsu 4-4:45, home for drop off
Tuesday: pick up anytime between 4 and 5pm (flexible), home and care until 5:30
Wednesday: as per Monday.

Please let me know if you would are interested and would like to meet us :)
