Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Melbourne VIC

Nos deux enfants, Isidore (7 ans) et Artémis (4 ans), sont des enfants australiens bilingues. Ce sont des enfants assez sages qui adorent lire, dessiner, et qui regardent très peu les écrans. Ils ont fait 6 mois d’école en France en 2024, et nous habitons actuellement à Fitzroy.

Nous cherchons une babysitteuse française ou francophone qui peut garder les enfants lundi, mardi et/ou mercredi de 15h à 18h, c'est à dire:
- chercher les enfants a l'école et kindergarten (à North Fitzroy et pas loin loin de l'autre)
- déposer les enfants à des activités (judo et cours de piano, à Abbotsford et chez nous à Fitzroy)
- cuisiner un repas simple du soir certains jours

Les voyages se feront idéalement en utilisant votre propre voiture. Nous n'avons pas de voiture - par contre nous avons un vélo cargo electrique qui peut etre utilisé si la babysitteuse est très expérimentée avec les vélos.

En tout cas nous cherchons quelqu'un qui peut aider les enfants à continuer de parler et lire en français. Ça serait idéale pour quelqu’un qui aime les langages et les livres.

Merci et n’hésitez pas à nous contacter par la messagerie ici si vous etes disponibles pour une, deux, ou trois apres-midis par semaine

We are seeking a warm, experienced nanny to join our family in South Melbourne from late February/early March 2026. Care will be for our newborn (6 weeks old) across Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with one week being three days of support and the following week being two days. Start times are flexible (8:00am or 9:00am on some days), with finish times ranging between 4:00pm–5:30/6:00pm.

The ideal candidate will have strong newborn experience, current First Aid/CPR, Working With Children Check and Police Check, and a nurturing, reliable nature. Light household duties (laundry, tidying, simple meal prep). As our baby grows, support may extend to school pick-ups for our 4.5-year-old and dinner preparation. We are looking for someone long-term who will feel like part of our family.

Hi There,

I am looking for a babysitter for my (will then be 10 nearly 11 month old) baby on the 8th of November from 7.30am - 2.30pm aprox.
This will include feeding and putting down for nap/s.

In general I am seeking a babysitter who can offer assistance once a month ongoing - usually in the evening once baby is asleep (watching monitor and rocking back to sleep if woken) to provide me and my partner time to socialise.

I am located in South Yarra.

If you are interested I would love to meet and also do a paid trail or two prior to 8th November for a couple of hours or so.

We’re looking for a warm and reliable babysitter to help me with our three children (aged 4, 2 and a newborn) during the busy dinner, bath, and bedtime period.

The role also includes light household support such as tidying up after meals / help cleaning up.

The role will be casual/ad hoc at first (to cover when my husband is working late or travelling), with the idea to develop into regular part-time hours once things settle into routine.

If you’re experienced with young children, confident managing the evening juggle, and happy to help out with some household tasks, we would love to hear from you.

📍 Location: Abbotsford
⏰ Hours: Afternoons/evenings (approx. 3-7pm or 4.8pm), ad hoc to start
👶 Ages: 4, 2 & newborn (2 girls and one newborn tbc!)

Looking for a house helper to help with shopping and driving during the day. Running errands with grandma and general family help with things. Lovely job for the right girl in South Yarra.

Hi there,

I hope to hear from you soon! Emily

Afternoons 3pm - 7pm : Picking up from school / daycare and taking them to local activities (lessons). Helping with homework and preparing for dinner / showers.
Thursdays - hanging out with my 4yo then picking up the twins from school

Preferred days are: Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays

Hello!

We are on the hunt for a nanny/babysitter to assist our family of 4 (+ Gus our Hungarian Vizsla) in Albert Park, to commence in a few weeks. We would like this to be ongoing/permanent for the next 6-12 months (with a break for around a month at Christmas time).

The days/hours we are looking for:
Thursdays 8-12
Fridays 8-12

Occasionally these days may change and/ or we would love to give additional hours during the week/weekend when required.

We are super keen to have somebody the kids have become familiar with that we can call upon other than family when needed.

We have Ned (20 month old) and Pippa (3 weeks old).

Care would mainly be for our newborn Pippa and would for the most part be feeding, settling, napping, changing, floor time etc
Occasionally care for both Ned and Pippa.

This will allow me to drop Ned to daycare/attend appointments/catch up on work etc, so I would be in and out of the house during these hours.

During nap times some light house duties (tidying up, washing bottles etc) would be expected.

Midwife, nursing or childcare background highly regarded.

We are looking for a nanny to care for our two girls, ages 18mo and 3.75yo during the day.

I am planning to embark on the process of looking for jobs to return to the workforce after a career break, and need support to enable me to do so. During this period, we are looking for someone ~15-20hrs/week across Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu. We can be flexible with exactly when those hours fall, and would be looking to split them over three or four days.

Once I have returned to work, we will be looking for someone to support us 3-4days a week. If the candidate we find for the near-term support is able to stay on with us long-term, that would be ideal though certainly not mandatory.

We are looking for a nanny who has a WWC, is First Aid and CPR trained, COVID and Flu vaccinated and minimum 2 parent references. Additionally, a valid driver licence and clean driving record.

Ideally we would also love our nanny to help with some light housework, largely relating to the girls: mealtime prep/packdown etc., laundry, tidying living/bedrooms etc.

I am looking for a nanny to look after my 8-month-old on Fridays (8.30am-5.30pm) starting 3rd October until the end of December. WWCC and references required.

Monday 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
Tuesday 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
Wednesday 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
Thursday 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
Rate: $40.30 - $45.38 (L3-Dip) per hour including Tax and Super (costs associated with Insurance & Workcover are taken care of by the Employer, who will also process your Tax and Super payments on your behalf)
4 days per week with a child aged 17 months

Flex with days - 4 x 12 hour days.
