Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Richmond VIC

Hi there!
We live in Richmond, though it's more like Cremorne, and we have a baby who is 7 weeks old (as at December 21) and a son who is 3.5. I'm looking for someone to arrive early - 6am - on his daycare days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and help me get him ready for daycare and then walk him up to daycare. Depending on experience with babies, I'd also like it if you can hold the baby for me while I do jobs in the house or I could take my son to daycare instead some days while you hold the baby at home. Once my son is dropped at daycare, I'm hoping you can come back to our house and do an hour or two of housework including clothes washing or dish washing. The morning job would be about 6am - 10am.
In the evening, we're hoping someone can pick my son up from daycare, walk back to our house, and help me get dinner organised before bathing my son and prepping him for bed. The evening would be about 5pm - 7:30pm.
If interested, we could meet at our house and have a chat. Police check, working with children's check and first aid essential. Thank you! Alexis

First and foremost, the family is looking for someone with integrity, family values, someone who is trustworthy and someone who is reliable.

The family will need additional support during school holidays.

ABOUT THE NANNY

The ideal candidate must be comfortable caring for the girls together and competent in keeping a clean and organised home. You must be energetic and prepared to facilitate age-appropriate activities with the two girls, such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, cooking, hide and seek etc. These girls do not have iPads and screen time (i.e. watching movies) is kept to a minimum.

The parents are both working parents but occasionally work from home and are very present in the children's lives.


DUTIES
• First and foremost, look after the girls. Imaginative play, being outdoors, reading books, cooking, arts and crafts.
• Light laundry duties (putting clothing in washer and dryer). No ironing required.
• Grocery shopping before school pick up.
• Picking up the girls from school on a Tuesday.
• Helping to keep house tidy (e.g. general errands, accepting packages, unpacking dishwasher, etc).
• Occasional availability to baby sit for date night.
• Return home to tidy state at end of each day.

Looking for a mature, fun loving and responsible nanny to assist mom with taking care of kids, chores, laundry, cooking and lots of play dough making !

Hi there,

I am looking for evening help to help with clean-up, baby bottles, laundry and walking the dog, helping with kids if they are awake.

I live in South Yarra (Chapel and Toorak) close to all public transport. I just need a couple hours of help for as many evenings as possible (5-6 days) from 6:30pm-8:30pm.

This position would be ideal for someone who lives close by. Opportunity for more hours once we have established a good working relationship and connection but for the moment 10-12 hours a week for now.

Must be comfortable with small dogs, caring, empathetic, reliable and honest.

My babies are 1 and 2 and usually in bed around 7:30pm.

Please email CV to my email is artikasingh.aba@gmail.com

ONLY THOSE WHO EMALED CV/RESUME WILL BE CONSIDERED.

Please note: it is $30 to start with pay increase after 3 months. Also can provide great reference for careers to those individuals who stay on long-term, as I have my own private practice.


Thank you,
Artika

During school holidays both children may need care across longer daytime hours.

👶 About the Children
• Boy (almost 4): non-verbal autistic, gentle, affectionate, routine-oriented

• Afternoon supervision, play, and wind-down (afternoon shift)
• Age-appropriate engagement and care
• Supporting transitions with patience and consistency

• WWCC, first aid cert, Certificate III in Early Childhood Education (or higher similar accreditation)
• Calm, reliable, emotionally attuned
• Comfortable with non-verbal communication styles
• Confident driver with a safe driving record

Hello!

We are looking to meet a lovely (and very experienced) babysitter for Wednesdays from around 9:00AM - 12:30PM (ish) each week in February/March/April.

👩‍🎨 About the role:
We have a clever and quirky 3.5 year old!

The role will be about 3.5 hours per week on a Wednesday. We're hoping this can be an ongoing role, but we tend to decide week-to-week if the babysitting day is needed, so we have listed it as casual. The shift is on Wednesday mornings (9:00AM - 12:30PM tends to work). We work from home, so generally one or both of us will be home during the shift - but in a different area of the house.

📝 About you:
We are looking for someone who has experience working with children of a similar age. You have an interest in teaching young ones about life! We're looking to meet someone who is attentive, nurturing, patient, fun, caring, gentle and calm. We're looking to meet someone who has the energy to keep his developing mind busy (he's go go go!) He is sensitive and responds well to calm play (not too loud or intense).

We are hoping to meet someone who has experience with 3 year olds specifically and can help him with his general independence and learning about life.

👦 About the client:
Our 3.5 year old is a beautiful, quirky, clever and loves (LOVES) to chat! He loves when he is engaging with his favourite games and conversations - planets, numbers, learning new words and languages, maths, arts and crafts, reading, puzzles, books, quizzes, singing and imaginary play with his toys. He's a busy boy!

He is potty trained but still needs occasional assistance/reminding! A very, very selective eater but in this short shift we'll just provide his favourite snacks. A huge bonus if you've had experience with selective eaters (but not necessary). He's an avid learner and is happiest when he's learning or experimenting with something new.

👫About the parents:
We are both freelancers who work in music and the arts. We are openminded and we value honesty, humour, nature, kindness, empathy and compassion. We want to ensure the babysitters we work with feel supported and valued in their role!

I used to be a babysitter/nanny myself and met most of my babysitting clients on this website. I made so many amazing, longstanding connections with the families of the kids who are all grown up now and I still keep in touch with them and visit them 15-20 years later! Babysitting taught me so much that I am now applying as a Mamma.

We are looking forward to hearing from you. We will generally organise a phone call first, then a one hour trial period (to make sure it's the right fit for everyone).

Thanks,
Charlotte & family

Hi, I am a single father that shares care of my two boys with my ex wife. My boys are 10yrs old and 14yrs old and I have them in my house in Hawthorn East every second week from Wednesday to Friday evening.
