Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Prahran VIC

My husband and I are looking for a casual babysitter for our 22 month old son Louie on May 8th. The job will be from 3pm - 1am-ish. We have a wedding just down the road so will not be far away. We will need someone to feed Louie dinner, play with him, bath, bottle and bed around 7:30pm. He will sleep through the night.
Thanks!

I am looking for someone who is available to drop off and pick up my son from kindergarten 3 times a week, on a regular basis. The center is a short drive or tram ride away and I would require you to be at our house at 645am so I can head to work.
Look forward from hearing from you

Hi, babysitters! I am looking for someone to work with our family on a weekly, part-time basis from Monday through Thursday afternoons/evenings at our home in South Yarra, near Hawksburn village. One-off babysitting help on the weekend would also be great as well, if you're open to it, if we have something on occasionally in the evenings.

My husband and I both work during the week, usually with at least one of us working from home, and we're seeking some assistance with entertaining the kids when they get home from school with activities like drawing, reading, doing puzzles, cooking/preparing dinner, kicking a ball in the backyard, playing at one of the nearby playgrounds... really anything except sitting them in front of the TV!

The kids usually eat dinner around 6pm, so when they sit down to eat we'd appreciate your help getting their bath ready and then cleaning up dinner once they're done (we will give them their bath and put them to bed). Very rarely would you be alone with the children, so we're happy to help as needed while we finish up work.

We have three children: a 6 year old boy, 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy. All three are at school/kinder during the day and finish up at different times in the afternoon, so during the afternoons you'd spend with us it would range from looking after 0 kids (when we're picking them up, and would appreciate your help with housework like tidying their bedrooms, folding laundry, preparing dinner, etc), to 1 kid, 2 kids or 3 kids max (for about an hour or so when they're all back from school).

The total weekly hours that we need are around 13, across the following schedule:

Monday: 4pm-7pm
Tuesday: 4pm-7pm
Wednesday: 3pm-7pm
Thursday: 4pm-7pm

It would be great if this could be completed by one babysitter, but we are also open to splitting it across two people on different days if that aligns better with the schedules for the right person.

Ideally, the right person for our family will be someone who is kind, warm and caring. Our kids are pretty easy going but of course, try to push the limits! We'd appreciate someone who is creative and can engage them in creative pursuits - they love everything with paint, play-doh, and anything tactile!

Any other questions - don't hesitate to reach out! Excited to welcome you to our family :)

I'm looking for a nanny in or around SOUTH YARRA to take twin infants to childcare 4 days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday): You will need to change, feed, and take them to childcare 5 minutes away, which takes less than 1 hour, between 7-9am in the morning, and on also to collect them from childcare in the evening for 2 hours (6-8pm), and wash/change/feed them before bedtime. In addition, 6 hours during the day on Saturday or Sunday (e.g., 12-6pm).
You should have experience caring for infants; be friendly, warm, and nurturing; understand infants' needs; have good command of English; and perform light house duties and cooking basic food for the kids.
Please contact me to discuss.
Thanks,
Ilan

We have a 3 YO boy and 5 YO girl in prep. They are outgoing and warm kids, that love playing together and enjoy time outdoors.

The job would include picking both kids up from school and then taking them to their after school activities twice a week - Wednesday 3:30 - 6pm and Thursday 3:30 - 7pm.

Hi! We are looking for an engaged and nurturing nanny for our 20-month-old son, two days per week (we are flexible on which days!).

What We’re Looking For:
Our son is very musical, bright, and observant. We are looking for someone who is warm, nurturing, and who genuinely loves being actively engaged with toddlers - helping them discover and learn about the world through play.

Someone who notices what he’s interested in (whether it’s letters, music, or figuring out how things work) and provides opportunities to keep his brain busy.

Someone comfortable navigating the big emotions of toddlerhood with patience and a calm presence.

We value a phone-free environment where the focus is on meaningful interaction, safety, and connection.
