Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Southern Melbourne, VIC

Hi there 😊
My name is Sarah and I’m a mum to three lovely girls aged 9, 10 and 13. I work casually as a nurse and pathology collector and I’m currently looking for a local babysitter/carer who is responsible, reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

The main care I’m seeking is before-school care, which would involve:
• Arriving at our home by 6:40am
• Morning supervision and light routine support
• Leaving the house at 8:25am
• Completing a school drop-off at 8:45am

This would be required on Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings.

In addition, I’m also looking for availability on Sundays, which would be a longer shift (approximately 6:45am–2:45pm). This day would be capped at an agreed flat rate, rather than paid hourly.

I’m ideally looking for someone who is:
• dependable and punctual
• calm, positive and patient
• confident with school-aged children
• interested in building an ongoing, consistent arrangement

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to hear from you and chat further.

Thank you,
Sarah

Part-Time Nanny/Carer – Inner Eastern Suburbs

We seek an amazing nanny and carer to join our existing team. This role is different - you must be fit, competent with older children (the child is 11) and comfortable within yourself. You should be able to make independent and sensible decisions and be caring and compassionate. The child is special, living with a rare disability and loves life and lives to the full. They need extra care and you will be well supported by parents and other carers, this role sits well between a carer and nanny and will suit those who believe and have a passion for inclusion and who see themselves in a disability, health or care based role going forward. We are a hard working and local living family that pride itself on giving everything a go and have high standards to support our son and our aim for him to live his best life.
You must have experience with disability and understand that this is a hard and incredibly rewarding role. We will be looking for a genuine long term partnership with the right applicant who can stay with our family into the future.

We are looking for a vibrant and heart centred nanny to look after our 1 year old baby girl. She is very gorgeous and bubbly. We live in Brighton East and work from home so are on hand if you need us. We would love experience in childhood education, but it's not necessary.

We’re looking for someone for 4 days a week for 4 hours between 10-2. We’re flexible with days but would prefer Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

We are a very fun household that is lively and we are very kind and generous people.
My LinkedIn is @lauracraig84 if you want to take a look.
It's really a role to play with Bella and entertain her! She's on solids so there will be a morning tea and lunch, and maybe a morning sleep in the pram also.

On Thursdays we have another baby Mia in the house who is a lovely little girl - we would love you to help with her too - her mum works with me in the house on Thursdays so you will have support when you need it.

Would love to hear from you if this sounds like it could be a good fit.

We’re looking for a kind, fun, and reliable sitter or nanny to help care for our lovely son after school two afternoons per week, from 3:00pm to 6:30pm.

🧩 The role will include:
• School pick-up and after-school care
• Entertaining, playing games, and keeping things fun
• Supporting basic homework (nothing heavy!)
• Serving and supervising dinner (mostly prepared by us)
