Busy family in South Yarra seeking a reliable and caring casual babysitter for their two boys ages, 8 & 10.
If you're interested, please feel free to send me a message!

We are a Brazilian / Persian family living in Albert Park, right near the village and #1 tram stop. We have three boys: 7yr old twins and a 3 yr old.

I need ongoing help with mornings and/or afternoons.
Mornings: Getting the boys ready, breakfast, walking to school / daycare and walking the dog.
Afternoons: Picking up from school / daycare and taking them to local activities (lessons). Helping with homework and preparing for dinner / showers.

Preferred days are: Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays

We are flexible, so please apply if you can only do certain days or are available other days.

The ideal candidate should be engaging, energised, organised, calm, disciplined and patient. Whilst drivers license preferred, not necessary as everything is walking distance.

Bonus points if you can help with homework (reading books), play kids games, telling stories and play or understand music.

Just as a FYI - we have a cavoodle (dog) who is very friendly and may need some walks.

Hi There,

We are a family of four, my wife (Nidhi), our daughter (Saara), our dog (Chikoo) and myself.

We are based out of Macleod, about 15km north east of Melbourne city. My wife is currently living away in Sydney as she is doing her three years studies which she started in January this year. Hence the need for me to have someone to take care of Saara as an elder sister.

I have a background in IT (Cyber Security) and also have a growing business in my spare time as my long term plan. Saara is mostly independent as an 11 yrs old and your work would mainly be around helping her as a elder sister / friend along with basic household chores. You get pocket money, a separate ensuite, food, internet, Netflix, Disney+, Prime etc etc. As yet we have had 3 AuPairs and it has been a wonderful experience for both sides.

If you are a student completing your studies, we can work on a schedule to make sure you can balance your time accordingly. If this is something you are looking for, I am keen to hear from you and get to the details.

Thanks

I have a six year old son who requires school pick up at least three days per week. I would need someone to be available from 3 pm to 6 - 7 pm. During this time if you could help with his homework, play with him and prepare dinner for the family that would be amazing. I may ask for errands to be run and light cleaning. Note; I have two small poodles who are very friendly.

There is a strong possibility this may be offered permanently after initial period. I can also be flexible on pick up days.

Hi,
I am based in Toorak. Looking for a nanny who can be with my son from school pick up hours, take him to classes, sit and interact a lot with him.
Play with him , getting him ready for dinner etc.

Hi there,

After-school pick ups Tues/Wed/Thurs (3 - 6pm T&W and 3 - 6:30pm Th), for 11yo G and 8yo B - two bubbly children who are seeking someone engaging and present who has 4+ years experience, WWCC, full driver’s licence - must be off P plates - parent references and is reliable and able to commit for a minimum of 6 months.

3:00-6:00/6:30pm $35/hr
Tues/Wed/Thurs (must be able to do all 3 days)

Nanny duties include: Pick up kids from school/bus stop (car provided) - one pick up at 3:30pm and the other pick up at 3:45pm. After returning from school pick ups, it's unpacking school bags/cleaning out lunchboxes, preparing some simple afternoon tea. After school activities vary from swimming to football training, some drop off and some staying at venue.

Light house duties of folding of washing (if a basket is done) and putting away clothes, and cooking dinners for the kids - guidance provided on this unless you happen to be a whiz in the kitchen and don't need any guidance on meals! :-)

Looking for someone that is reliable and can commit to the hours. Someone that is patient, present and genuinely enjoys kids but can also set boundaries when required. Someone that has the ability to be able to see the little things also that might help a working parent out and can clean up after themselves and have the house tidy 😊

Non-smoking around children, no phone scrolling and nut-free (one child has nut allergies). WWCC and family references a must, as is a driver’s license and safe driving history.

Open to all ages and backgrounds as long as you have proven nanny experience greater than 4 years and someone local is probably most ideal. Thanks! 😊

I have two energetic little girls ages 4 and 6. I am looking for a nanny to work every other week picking the girls up from school Monday to Thursday and keeping the 4 year old on Tuesdays all day. Our older child has some special needs (ASD, ADHD) so requires someone with patience and experience.

Hi there,
My husband and I are looking for a babysitter for our two sons twice a week starting July 23 as our current babysitter can no longer commit due to a shift in their uni timetable.

We need to arrange care for the following days and hours:
Wednesday: 1-4pm (starts with pick up at kinder, as well as pick up from primary school later at 3.30pm)
Thursday: 7am to 1pm (primarily looking after our 3yo before dropping him at kinder at 1pm; also includes dropping our 7yo at school at 8.45am - both walkable)
If this is something you would be interested in please let me know and we can arrange a catch up ASAP.
Kind regards,
Amelia
