Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Thomastown VIC

Hi all!

Looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated nanny 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday.
Located in Thomastown to look after my 3 year old son.

From 9:30am-5:00pm with an hour break.

I'm looking for someone that has been an early childhood educator and ideally has 4 years plus experience.


If this sounds like you please reach out ☺️

We are looking for a nanny to become part of our growing family. We currently have a 5 month old and are looking to have another baby next year.

Starting with Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am -2pm, but this can be flexible if needed. With some extra evenings and the potential to travel with us while we are on holiday, interstate and overseas.

We run our own business so are flexible with work, but would love someone to be in the home to help with childcare and other household tasks.

Hi 😊
We’re looking for a Babysitter to help our family on casual adhoc basis, starting with a one‑off night on Friday 13 Feb from 5–9 PM (flexible, earlier is better). We have two wonderful children, very independent, super sweet 4‑year‑old boy and a fun, energetic 20‑month‑old girl.
Our regular sitters have moved away or are expecting, so we’re hoping to find someone who can also be available on an ongoing basis. Both parents work full-time and my husband travels a lot for work )about 50% of time is spent away over the next few months), so we’re looking for someone who can occasionally help on weekends (2–4 hour blocks), plus the odd morning (around 7 AM start) or afternoon (around 4 PM start). Once or twice a month or possibly we’ll also need an evening babysit.
Occasional drop-offs or pick-ups would be amazing, we can provide a car with child seats, but you’ll need a licence.
Someone is happy to do a bit of house tidying as well would be great!

If you’re warm, reliable, great with little ones, and have weekend flexibility (with some weekday help here and there- this would not often at all, we just like someone that could possibly do this if I was left in a pickle), we’d genuinely love to hear from you. Next Friday is just a chance for us all to meet and hopefully build a long-term connection. Please send a message with a bit about you and your availability. 😊

Rate negotiable pending on the experience or care needed.

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.

We are a family in Preston with a 3yo boy and 9yo girl. My wife and I are looking for help with pickups and dropoffs from childcare and before/after school care, most days of the week. There will be occasional evening care required until bedtime. Drop offs approx 7.30-8.30, pickups 4.30-6.30.

We would like to find a reliable person available for the whole year.

We are a happy family of 3 with no pets seeking a professional caregiver to help our young son continue to thrive while his mother returns to work part time. This job is to care for a 17 month old boy. Up to 22 hours per week on a casual / ad-hoc basis: Hours are 9-5 mon & Tues and 9-3 Wed. We don't require assistance with house work, but do sometimes need assistance with preparing his meals; just taking what's available/ precooked out of the fridge - lunch and possibly dinner if he gets hungry earlier. Also cleaning up his tray and bib after each meal and rinsing his bottles to run the sterilizer on those would be appreciated. The baby currently takes 2 naps a day, first nap is 1 hr and the second nap is 1.5hrs. If the baby is sleeping you can to to the local shops 5min walk away for lunch/ exercise / coffee break. The father often works from home and can help with diaper changing, lifting the baby and questions. Our son is a gentle, contemplative boy who loves to giggle at silly antics and play with his toy cars. We speak to him in two languages Serbian and English. We are 5 min walk from train station and there is a free parking space directly infront of our house you can use.

Our lovely baby sitter has moved so we’re seeking a reliable, local babysitter to assist with daycare and school pickup during the week. We live in Pascoe Vale and have two Swaussie (Swedish/Aussie) girls, aged 3 and 6. They enjoy going to the park, animals (we have an elderly dog and a cat), arts and crafts, reading books, and dancing. They’re very entertaining and enjoyable to be around, though they do have occasional meltdowns when it’s time to leave the park. We’re always happy to help if that happens if you struggle. :)

The role involves picking them up at 3 pm from daycare or school two days a week (we can be flexible with it being Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday). You’ll most likely take them to the park for a hour before we arrive home around 5 pm. They enjoy outdoor activities, but we only have a small yard, so visiting the park is ideal.

We’re looking for a 20+ female who is confident, creative, active, playful, honest, safety-minded, reliable, and positive. A personal car is necessary for this role, as the school is about a 10-minute drive from our house. We’ll provide the car seats, but ideally, you’d be comfortable having them in most weeks (we’re happy to reinstall them every once in a while).

We want our kids to get the most out of their childhood, especially through play, and hope to find someone who can help facilitate that. We’ll pay a casual rate and you’ll need insurance. We’ll ask you to keep phone use to a minimum when you’re with the kids. Besides than that we’re pretty flexible and easy going. We’d hope you could commit to about a year if we’re a good fit. Our previous babysitter is happy to be a reference for us.

*** Please, please, only reply if you’re genuinely interested and looking for a job like this. Meeting us is an important step in deciding whether we’re a good fit for someone but to simply not show up after being offered and accepting the role becomes a massive problem for us. Ghosting someone who relies on them to make their everyday run smoothly is just not ok. Also, the kids are usually very excited about their new nanny and it’s hard to explain why someone simply didn’t show.

Communication is key - even if you change your mind! We rather you tell us!***

We are looking for someone to come and look after our little 1 year old girl 3 days a week, with one of those days also including our 4 year old boy. Both have been in full time childcare, however we are looking now to have a nanny that speaks Spanish to them as their father and extended family are Chilean.

It would be great if some light house keeping was also done if there was time - ie doing clothes washing etc.

We are a pretty creative and relaxed household with a friendly dog. The dog would love some cuddle and occasional walk if you wanted to take the baby and dog out during the day.

We are looking for casual baby sitters for my 4.5 year old twin boys usually post school / kindergarten hours .

We occasionally need help to stay with them overnight when I need to travel for work ( twice a year for about 3 nights )

We are looking for a warm, practical summer nanny (with option to continue into school term if keen) to help out with our sociable and happy 5 year old boy who loves lego, fossils, museums, the aquarium, going to the park etc. 18-20 hours per week, across three days, we are flexible re exact time and days however something like 12-6pm would be ideal. Must have driver’s licence and solid babysitting experience with at least one reference we can call. Tasks include outings, fun and games at home, making lunch and/or dinner, keeping his room and play areas tidy, day to day small errands, eg picking up milk / bread for household, etc. Warm and inclusive family with comfy house and big garden to play in, a great park at end of our street and great public transport connections. We would love to be able to take our babysitter away on at least some of our planned beach holiday between 19th to 28th January to St Andrews Beach - staying in a spacious beach house with your own room and bathroom right by beach with large heated pool, games room etc. Ideally we’d love you to come and work with us through January and February to settle into school year but at least through until the end of January.

Our little rainbow family is looking for a caring, reliable babysitter / nanny to help with our 4.5‑month‑old son. This role is casual and ad hoc, with daytime support and the occasional evening. We’re hoping to build a genuine, long‑term relationship with someone who values connection, gentle care, and nurturing curiosity. If you love getting outdoors, enjoy engaging with little ones, and appreciate a family who leads an active lifestyle, we’d love to meet you.

We are looking for a carer who we can count on casually to care for our boys (3 and 5) really help with kinder drop off and school drop off. It would be about 2 hours on a Tuesday morning and a Wednesday morning.

The role would involve care and light household duties. The schedule is:
• Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings: 7:30–9:30 a.m.
• Tuesday and Thursday afternoon: 3:30–5:30 p.m.

Morning responsibilities would include preparing breakfast, packing school lunches, and light household tasks such as folding clothes . The afternoon time would focus on caring for the boys after school and give them dinner (I'll provide this)

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.

Hello, we require a person to collect our child from Wales Street Primary School. He is a 10 year child who is well mannered and easy going. He is into trains and likes playing chess. I have put down 3 days - Monday to Wednesday but most likely will be 2 and the days concerned can be discussed.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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 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.
