I’m looking for a caring, reliable and experienced casual carer for my 8-month-old son, Thomas.

Thomas has recently started daycare and has been picking up bugs. When he’s unwell and unable to attend, I need someone to care for him so I can continue working from home or in the office.

This will be a casual, as-needed role. Ideally, you’ll have experience caring for babies and be nurturing, trustworthy and comfortable looking after little ones who aren’t feeling their best.

A little about our family 🤍

We’re a family of four based in Newtown, Geelong, with two little girls, aged 4.5 and 2. I’m a stay-at-home mum, Pilates instructor and currently studying house design, while my husband runs his own financial planning business nearby.

Our girls are playful, creative and absolutely hilarious little humans, and more than anything, we’d love to find someone who genuinely delights in spending time with them! Someone who enjoys getting down on their level, following their imaginations, embracing the messiness of play, heading outdoors and building a really beautiful connection with them.

We’re hoping to find someone who feels like a natural extension of our family, rather than simply someone coming in to supervise the girls.

What we’re looking for

I absolutely love being home with the girls, so we’re not necessarily looking for someone to take over their care entirely. Some of the hours would involve us all coexisting at home, while others would give me an opportunity to step away and run errands if needed, recharge or work and study from a separate space on our property.

One thing that’s particularly important to us is finding someone who is naturally proactive and happy to move between spending time with the girls and helping with the everyday running of the home.

For example, if I’m spending time with one or both girls, it would be wonderful to have someone who can independently notice what needs doing — whether that’s tidying up the day’s little messes, tending to the clean washing that’s forever piling up (or a wet load in the machine!), giving the floors a quick vacuum or preparing something simple to eat.

Equally, there will be times when I’d love someone to take the lead with the girls so I can tend to those things myself, focus on my work or simply have some uninterrupted time.

We avoid screens during the week and love spending as much time outdoors as possible. We also have a pool that the girls love to spend time in! While swimming with them isn’t essential, it’s certainly something they’d love to share on warmer days. Our eldest is a confident swimmer and our youngest still needs one-on-one help, with both requiring somebody willing to be in the water with them if the pool is to be used.

Hours and availability

We’re looking for approximately 5–12 hours per week, with flexibility around how those hours are arranged.

We have regular activities on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday afternoons and occasionally Thursday mornings that i will take them to, but otherwise have flexibility throughout the week.

We are looking to find someone interested in an ongoing arrangement, allowing the girls to build a meaningful and lasting relationship with you.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy and would be consistently availible for, I’d love to hear a little about you and hopefully arrange for you to spend a couple of hours at home with the girls and I so we can all get to know one another! 😊

Looking for a nanny for my 2 year old daughter. She doesn’t have any special needs or allergy. I am a stay-at-home mum and looking for someone for 5 hours per day, 2 days a week so I can have some time to myself. I am flexible with the days. I need someone willing to do these regular hours for consistency. From time to time, I may also be open to a few hours in the evenings for me to be able to attend some social events/dinners.

We are located in Docklands and have a tram stop right in front of our apartment for those taking public transport. We also have secure free parking if you prefer driving. There are lots of outdoor and indoor toddler friendly activities that are within walking distance and we have yearly passes to some attractions nearby. Also, our apartment has lots of space and a play room so there will be lots to do on a cold rainy day or a sticky hot day.

My daughter is very social, curious and creative. She loves exploring outdoor and nature. She loves dancing, reading, colouring, building activities, riding her bike, listening to music and lots of imaginative play. I am looking for someone that will truly put in their time and effort towards fostering her development. In other words, im not looking for a child minder im looking for someone we can use long term as our family grows.

Hello!

I'm a solo parent looking for a wonderful, experienced nanny to help care for my twin girls, who will be eight months old in January 2027 when the role will start.

We are based in Southbank, Melbourne, and I'm hoping to find someone very special who will become a trusted, long-term part of our family.

I am looking for a professional career nanny who is confident, organised and experienced with babies, but who also has a genuinely warm, affectionate and nurturing personality.

It is very important to me that the girls are cared for by someone who enjoys engaging with them, supporting their development and creating a happy, stimulating environment.

The role will involve caring for both girls, managing their daily routines, feeding, developmental play, outings, children's laundry, meal preparation and some light general housekeeping.

Hours: Initially 25–30 hours per week, following my four-week rotating work roster. Hours are likely to increase over time. Some occasional evening and weekend flexibility would be wonderful with advance notice. We will also have an au pair starting from January who will be helping with morning and evenings so this will be hours between 9 am to 5 pm depending on the day.

Pay: Dependent on experience.

Experience: Professional infant-care experience, paediatric first aid qualification and valid WCCC are mandatory. Early childhood qualifications/ nursing/midwifery back ground would be highly regarded.

We also have two dogs, so you must be comfortable having dogs around the home.

A driver's licence would be desirable as the girls get older but isn't essential at present.

This is a permanent position, and I'm really hoping to find someone who wants to stay with us for the long term and become an important part of the girls' childhood.

We're hoping to arrange paid trials in the first two weeks of December, with the position commencing in January 2027.

If this sounds like a fit, I'd love to hear from you. Please send me a little information about yourself, your experience and why you're interested in the role.

Hi there!

I am looking for help with my two kids after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have a son aged 10 and a daughter aged 12. We live in Albert Park. We are a very happy, kind, drama-free, hard-working family and we're looking for a nanny with a similar approach to life. This job will suit a responsible student in her 20s, with a drivers' licence.

You will work Wed and Thurs from 3pm-8pm, picking the kids up from school in Brighton, then either bringing them home or taking them to after school activities, followed by dinner and a tidy up (fold any washing, empty and clean lunch boxes and do the dishes/tidy the kitchen). Plus making sure homework is organised for an added bonus (no stress on this on though!). You will need your own car, and I'll provide some support for petrol ($10 per day).
If you also like to clean (including bathrooms) you can add an extra 3 hours a week and come and do the cleaning during the day before you drive to school pick on either the Wednesday or the Thursday.
$30/hour

If this sounds good to you, please let me know! Our current nanny is moving to the USA next week and so I'm hoping to find someone who is free either this week, (4 or 5 November) or next Wednesday (11 November) so that my current nanny can show you the ropes.

Kind regards
Kerry

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.

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.
