Hi there!
Our family is looking for an experienced nanny to help with school drop off and pick-ups. Monday - Wednesday.
Times as below:
Mornings 8am - 9am
Afternoons 230pm - 5pm.
Our current nanny of 2 years is heading off to do an exchange overseas and therefore looking for her replacement.
Would love to hear from you if you think you'd be a fit for this role :)!

Hi!

We are a family of 4, with two boys aged 12 and 7.5.

We need after school care on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3 to 6:30 pm.

Duties include:
- school pickups (from 1 school 600m away, the other is 3.5 km away)
- snacks
- drop off and pick up from tennis (3 km away)
- tidying up
- dinner/meal prep
- helping kids to pack up clothes, shoes, unpack school bags will be appreciated.

Both kids are high energy and love tennis, enjoy 0.5 hour of video games (except no technology-day is Wednesdays), are diligent but need gentle reminder on school homework etc. one boy does swimming lessons on Fridays. Time management is a great skill to have, as the boys are almost always 'on the go' but need to be organised in terms of packing tennis bags, water bottles, solid/healthy snacks etc.

Those with ongoing careers in childcare (E.g., either diploma courses, or experience in childcare centres) will be preferred. We have strong preference for those who are reliable and professional and will arrive on time and not skip days once they commit to this role.

Many thanks and look forward to a chat!

We are keen to find an experienced nanny who is confident wrangling multiple kids of varying ages to welcome into and help out our family! We are a family of six, with four girls aged 3yrs, 6.5yrs, 9yrs and 11yrs. We are primarily hoping to find someone who for the remainder of 2025 could do:
- Mondays 8:30am - 5:30pm
- Tuesdays 8:30am - 6:15pm
- Thursdays 8:30am - 4:30pm
And ideally if things are working well, someone who might be available/consider continuing with the Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2026 and even 2027! (This is due to us securing a 3yr old and then 4yr old kindergarten place for the coming 2 years that runs Mon/Weds/Fri).
The daytimes would involve looking after our 3yr old, hopefully with a few regular activities such as a music class, swimming class, library and playground visits etc. After school on Tuesdays would involve collecting the older three girls from a local Primary school, bringing them home and supervising some chores (helping them put their washing away), homework, play, and helping start dinner would be an amazing help. Occasional babysitting at other evening/weekend times could be good too if suitable. We have been lucky to have some wonderful longer term nannies and Au Pairs over the years, and are keen to find a new special person to get to know and work with us. Thanks, look forward to hearing from you!

30-40 hours per week caring for our fun, loving and bubbly 20 month old baby girl.

Looking for someone who is creative and proactive with past experience and references, WWC, police check and first aid knowledge.

While she is asleep we would like you to help with basic house chores including, cleaning, washing, food prep etc.

Hours will be consistent with start finish time changes depending on our schedules.

If you’re warm, responsible, and love working with babies, we’d love to hear from you!

We are seeking a responsible and reliable babysitter to care for our two children, aged 4 and 8 years. The role will involve evening babysitting on weekends and some daytime work on weekends. We are looking for someone who can build a long-term, consistent relationship with our family.

Hi, I'm a solo mother of twin boys and looking for help with taking (or picking up) my children from Camberwell Primary School each day starting 2026. This will be a couple of hours a day, at least 4 days each week during the school term, starting 2026. However, it's important that you forge a strong relationship with my kids, so I would be interested in you starting sooner on a less frequent basis, if that's of interest.

The boys speak French and English. Ideally, if you speak French that would be a huge bonus. They will be attending a French language school next year. They do speak English.

Looking for someone who doesn't get overly stressed (or is comfortable being stressed), and doesn't mind the drive from Camberwell to Beaumaris. You must have your own vehicle and be happy having booster seats in the car when you drive them. Most likely looking for your help in the mornings, but if there are some mornings you can't do then I could do the morning that day and you could do the afternoon pick up instead. I do have some level of flexibility I can work with.

Needing someone reliable - this is key. If you can't commit for the full 2026 academic year then please don't apply - my kids will become attached to you (and I will need your support).

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this far! Hope to hear from you. Rate negotiable depending upon experience.

We're looking for a fun and energetic babysitter for our 3-year-old boy, who loves to stay active and explore. He’s full of curiosity and enjoys playing with cars, blocks and outdoor activities.

The ideal sitter will be someone that lives in the south-eastern suburbs, patient, playful, and experienced with toddlers, ready to keep up with his high energy and engage in creative play.

He is currently in childcare full time, but he used to go 3 days a week. So he misses a little that one on one time.

We are looking for someone that can help out after 5pm, the weekends/public holidays, in case he is sick and we cannot take time off work, or we go out at night. Also pick him up from childcare around 3pm once a week and do something fun, like going to the beach, park, library.

Tell me if that suits you, so we can arrange a meet & greet.
FYI we have a cat.

Cheers,

Connie

Babysitter needed on Thursdays Midday until 7pm.

We are a busy family with four young boys who need help on an Thursday. Our amazing Nanny of 2 years has had a change to her university hours and we are now looking for someone to take over her Thursday work. Currently she arrive at our house at midday, folds and puts away laundry, cooks dinner and does some general tidying or household errands. She then either picks the kids up from school if they are to be taken to sports or waits for them to get home on the bus and looks after them until I get home (between 5.30 and 7pm). If she is there later she will give the kids dinner. There is some variable driving depending on afterschool activities as well as helping with readers and homework. We are looking for someone who is happy to do this as an ongoing part time job. We are away at times during school holidays but often there is even more work available on the holidays as the kids are off school. We would like someone who is reliable and trustworthy and we would like references and to meet for interview prior to offering the position. We would like someone who is firm with the kids but also knows how to engage and have fun with them. Our youngest is 6 and our oldest 12yo.

We’re a busy, professional family based in Gardenvale/ Elsternwick looking for a kind, reliable, and proactive nanny to support our two delightful children—Thomas (8) and Lilli (14)—with before and after school care during the school term. The role is ongoing and regular, with hours as follows: if you can’t fulfill all we are happy to have 2-3 Nannie’s across the week.

• Monday & Wednesday: 7:00am – 8:30am & 3:00pm – 6:30/7:00pm
• Tuesday & Friday mornings: 7:00am – 8:30am
• Fortnightly Friday afternoon: 3:00pm – 8:00pm

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting our youngest child with the morning routine (getting dressed, brushing teeth, packing bag, lunchbox support)
• School drop-offs and pick-ups (Lilli makes her own way home)
• Supervising after-school activities including homework, violin practice, and occasional bedtime
• Light household tasks such as stacking/unstacking the dishwasher, keeping kitchen surfaces tidy, putting on a load of laundry or folding clothes
• Occasional cooking or preparing simple family-friendly meals (for children only) most meals will be made by Mum
• Encouraging the children to tidy up after themselves and keeping their spaces (bedroom/bathroom) neat
• Being present and playful—our kids love games like UNO and connect well with nannies who are both warm and grounded


Requirements:

• Valid driver’s licence (own car is essential for the interim period)
• Previous nannying or childcare experience
• Confident supervising primary school-aged children and teens
• Organised, respectful, and able to take initiative
• Available through the remainder of 2025 (with potential to continue into the new year)

Our home is a respectful, loving environment where our children are used to nanny support and see it as a valued part of their world. We’re seeking someone who will feel like a natural extension of our family—fun, firm when needed, and deeply reliable.

If this sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.

Hi all,

I’m looking for someone to join my team as a support worker for a beautiful 10 year old boy with Norries Disease who is blind and has autism and an intellectual disability. He is supported after school 3pm-8pm, weekends and school holiday. One of his current support workers is going away later in the year and we are looking to start training someone to replace her starting end of june. Days are flexible with, tuesday s d wedensday after school available and fortnightly Sundays 3pm-8pm available. To start with we would be looking for 1-2 shifts per week with the potential to increase in the future. All training and ongoing support is provided by me so no need for prior experience but this is highly regarded. You would need to be mature, nurturing, and to have a passion for working with children and learning new skills as well as the ability to stay calm when child is dysregulated and adapt to ongoing training and feedback. Someone who is either working in or aspiring to work in behaviour support, occupational therapy, speech therapy or physio therapy would be perfect for this role as we work closely with these therapies and integrate goals into what we do with the children on a daily basis. Please note a drivers licence and access to a car is essential for the role. We are looking for someone who can make a long term commitment of at last 1 year and the role requires regular weekly work with the child to be able to work with him on the school holidays so I am not able to accept applicants who are looking for temporary or solely school holiday work. He also gets anxious around people with a heavy accent as he is very sensitiveq to sounds..Thank you!

Hello!

Posting here in case there’s someone local who might be a great fit 💫

Our wonderful nanny is moving back to the country, so we’re looking for someone to help support our young family. My husband and I both have full-on jobs, and we’ve got a gorgeous little tribe — three kids under 6 (1.5, 4 and 6).

We’re after someone who’s available on Wednesdays, ideally to help with a few things:

🧼 2 hours of light tidying/cleaning in the main living areas
🍽️ Prepping or cooking a simple family dinner
🚗 School/kinder pick-ups (must be able to drive)

Let’s just say… with three little ones, the house can turn into a tornado zone real fast 🤪

If this sounds like something you’d be up for — or you know someone who might be — please feel free to DM me for more details 🙏🏻

Thank you! 💛
