Hello

We are a family of five in Ivanhoe looking for a nanny to care for our 3 kids after school on Monday and Tuesday. Our current nanny's university timetable does not allow for her to continue her current role.

We have a 9-year-old boy (Grade 4) and 7-year-old boy/girl twins (Grade 2). You would be responsible for school pick up, taking kids to after school activities, doing readers with the kids, preparing kids' dinner and minor housework (cleaning lunch boxes, emptying dishwasher if required, dinner clean up).

School is within walking distance, or you will also have access to our car or 2 x booster seats if you would prefer to use your car. At this stage, the only after school activity is tutoring on Monday in Heidelberg for our eldest son, which would require you to drop him off at 4.30pm.

Also, if you would be happy to start earlier on one day to assist with kids' washing (folding and putting away) and other light household tasks, please let me know.

My husband and I work from home occasionally, so one of us may be home on some of the days, but we have a separate study and generally keep out of the way!

We also have an over friendly cocker spaniel called Frankie who will be happy to have a new friend to pester for pats.

Rate: $30 + p/h depending on experience (happy to discuss)

Please get in touch if this sounds of interest to you! Also happy to chat if you can only do some of the days required.

We are seeking ongoing babysitting support in Macleod, to assist us with after school/kinder care for our two children, our 5 year old daughter (just started prep) and our 3yr old son (just started kinder). At this stage, we are seeking support for Monday and Wednesday afternoons for 3 hours (3pm to 6pm), with perhaps one day a month on a Sunday for 3 hours.

Ideally, the engagement could extend to pickup from school/kinder and then care until we finish work. For the start of the engagement, until the kids and babysitter are comfortable, we could pick up the kids and have them ready at home for the care to begin. Responsibilities would be to care for the kids, play with them, feed them dinner (and cleaning up after play/dishes) and assist with getting ready for bed.

We also have a very friendly dog, an 8yr old golden retriever.

Hello, I am looking for a nanny who could assist with morning kinder drop off and afternoon pick up, post care after pick-up for 1 or 2 days a week, and occasional care during the day on Saturday from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm.

We are a family of 5 living in Donvale, looking for a part time carer to help on Wednesdays from 8am - 5pm, as well as ad hoc weekdays, nights and weekends.

Our kids are turning 2, 4 and 6 in February/March. On Wednesdays the 3 and 5 year old girls are at kinder and school so care is mostly for our 2yo boy Charlie. Mum does the school run in the morning and picks the girls up after school to take them to swimming lessons. Some help with dishes/laundry appreciated. Food prep for kids and relevant clean up required. We often need extra help on other weekdays, weekends, or in the evenings for date nights etc :)

Please be able to provide information regarding:
- drivers license status (full/red/green P etc)
- WWCC
- First aid training
- Vaccination status (whooping cough, covid etc)
- Any relevant training qualifications and/or experience

Start - as soon as possible. Latest start February 11th.

Hi! We are a family of 3 - I am Betty (30), my husband Anthony (34) and baby Aria (18m). Aria is absolutely the heart of our family - she is so curious and cheeky! She loves dancing to music, reading books and is hands down an outdoors baby who wants to be outside, rain hail or shine.

We are looking for a babysitter to cover my working hours on Fridays (9am-12pm (3hrs) and/or 2-5pm (3hrs)) starting on a weekly basis from 16 Jan 2026. Anthony and I will both be present and working from home, and Anthony’s workspace is in the living room (which is also sometimes a play space).

What we are looking for in a babysitter: Aria is by temperament cautious, sensitive and slow to warm up, so it is important to us that her babysitter is gentle, patient, empathetic and emotionally-attuned to her and her needs, and is willing to give her full attention and consistency to foster trust. She is also starting to experience big emotions, so we are looking for someone who is able to help her identify her emotions and comfort her through any feelings that may overwhelm her. We would like a babysitter who adopts screen-free and child-led play, and someone who genuinely enjoys playing and engaging with toddlers and is willing to follow Aria’s cues and interests (which might mean potentially repeating the same word over and over again, or playing the same game over and over again!). We are looking for someone to delight in Aria, encourage her and help her understand her experiences.

Some things we will not be expecting you to do include: putting Aria to sleep, making food (other than getting pre-made snacks for Aria), cleaning/housework.

Please reach out if you think you would be a great fit! Looking forward to hearing from you!

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
