Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in West Melbourne VIC

We are a young, friendly couple looking for a caring, energetic, and experienced nanny to join our family and help care for our 18-month-old son. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys engaging with toddlers — playing, exploring, teaching new things, and creating a fun and loving environment.

**About the Role:**

* Care for our 18-month-old son 2 days a week (daytime hours) flexible with days
* Help with age-appropriate activities and development
* Light housework and simple meal prep
* Experience with newborns is essential, as we’re expecting our baby girl in December
* Opportunity for increased hours once the baby arrives

We are seeking someone who wants to be part of our family long-term — a warm, reliable presence our children can grow up with. If you're passionate about childcare, have experience with young children and babies, and are looking for a meaningful, lasting role, we’d love to hear from you!

Thanks, Caroline & Nick

This job ad includes two roles.

I'm looking for a reliable local who is interested in casual babysitting on a Friday or Saturday night once or twice a month. We would negotiate start times but typically this would be between 5:00-6:30 and we are normally home by 10:30/11pm. I have a five year old daughter, and a dog. All are cheerful and experienced in being cared for by others. I'm open to having 2-3 sitters on rotation at any given time as I know you won't always want to give up your weekends. This may include an occasional weeknight from time to time.

Starting from February 2026, I'm looking for someone for 8-12 hours per week. This would be a minimum of 2 x 4 hours shifts from 2-6pm and will likely include school pick up, some basic meal prep (making snacks, lunch boxes / dinner), dropoff at after school lessons such as swimming, basketball, music etc depending on the day, bringing the child home and getting started on bath-time, homework/reading etc. I'm flexible on which day of the week based on your availability, but would like to have a consistent schedule. You should be comfortable getting around walking, cycling or on public transport. This role will include entitlements such as leave and super.

You should have experience caring for children in either a childcare or private nanny setting. In your response please let me know if you're interested in both roles, or if only one of the two roles - which one. If you're wanting to apply for the nanny role, please let me know which two days would suit you best.

I'll be accepting applications to the end of September. If this ad is still up, then neither role has been filled. Thank you.

Please let me know if you have any questions; and if you're available and interested, I'd be happy to discuss details.

Nos deux enfants, Isidore (7 ans) et Artémis (4 ans), sont des enfants australiens bilingues. Ce sont des enfants assez sages qui adorent lire, dessiner, et qui regardent très peu les écrans. Ils ont fait 6 mois d’école en France en 2024, et nous habitons actuellement à Fitzroy.

Nous cherchons une babysitteuse française ou francophone qui peut garder les enfants lundi, mardi et/ou mercredi de 15h à 18h, c'est à dire:
- chercher les enfants a l'école et kindergarten (à North Fitzroy et pas loin loin de l'autre)
- déposer les enfants à des activités (judo et cours de piano, à Abbotsford et chez nous à Fitzroy)
- cuisiner un repas simple du soir certains jours

Les voyages se feront idéalement en utilisant votre propre voiture. Nous n'avons pas de voiture - par contre nous avons un vélo cargo electrique qui peut etre utilisé si la babysitteuse est très expérimentée avec les vélos.

En tout cas nous cherchons quelqu'un qui peut aider les enfants à continuer de parler et lire en français. Ça serait idéale pour quelqu’un qui aime les langages et les livres.

Merci et n’hésitez pas à nous contacter par la messagerie ici si vous etes disponibles pour une, deux, ou trois apres-midis par semaine

We are seeking a warm, experienced nanny to join our family in South Melbourne from late February/early March 2026. Care will be for our newborn (6 weeks old) across Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with one week being three days of support and the following week being two days. Start times are flexible (8:00am or 9:00am on some days), with finish times ranging between 4:00pm–5:30/6:00pm.

The ideal candidate will have strong newborn experience, current First Aid/CPR, Working With Children Check and Police Check, and a nurturing, reliable nature.

Hi there,
I need help! I need someone to collect my 11 year old from school and bring her home one to two days per week. She is at school in princes hill and we live in Clifton hill - a short drive. I need help every Wednesday and alternate Thursdays.
I hope to hear from you soon! Emily

We live in Albert Park (near the village) and I need ongoing help with mornings and/or afternoons for my three boys: 7yr old twins and a 3 yr old.
Here are the options:
Mornings 730am - 10am: Getting the boys ready, breakfast, walking to school / daycare
Afternoons 3pm - 7pm : Picking up from school / daycare and taking them to local activities (lessons). Helping with homework and preparing for dinner / showers.
Thursdays - hanging out with my 4yo then picking up the twins from school

Preferred days are: Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays

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.

We’re looking for a warm and reliable babysitter to help me with our three children (aged 4, 2 and a newborn) during the busy dinner, bath, and bedtime period.

The role also includes light household support such as tidying up after meals / help cleaning up.

The role will be casual/ad hoc at first (to cover when my husband is working late or travelling), with the idea to develop into regular part-time hours once things settle into routine.

If you’re experienced with young children, confident managing the evening juggle, and happy to help out with some household tasks, we would love to hear from you.

📍 Location: Abbotsford
⏰ Hours: Afternoons/evenings (approx. 3-7pm or 4.8pm), ad hoc to start
👶 Ages: 4, 2 & newborn (2 girls and one newborn tbc!)

Hello!

We are on the hunt for a nanny/babysitter to assist our family of 4 (+ Gus our Hungarian Vizsla) in Albert Park, to commence in a few weeks. We would like this to be ongoing/permanent for the next 6-12 months (with a break for around a month at Christmas time).

The days/hours we are looking for:
Thursdays 8-12
Fridays 8-12

Occasionally these days may change and/ or we would love to give additional hours during the week/weekend when required.

We are super keen to have somebody the kids have become familiar with that we can call upon other than family when needed.

We have Ned (20 month old) and Pippa (3 weeks old).

Care would mainly be for our newborn Pippa and would for the most part be feeding, settling, napping, changing, floor time etc
Occasionally care for both Ned and Pippa.

This will allow me to drop Ned to daycare/attend appointments/catch up on work etc, so I would be in and out of the house during these hours.

During nap times some light house duties (tidying up, washing bottles etc) would be expected.

Midwife, nursing or childcare background highly regarded.

We are looking for a nanny to care for our two girls, ages 18mo and 3.75yo during the day.

I am planning to embark on the process of looking for jobs to return to the workforce after a career break, and need support to enable me to do so. During this period, we are looking for someone ~15-20hrs/week across Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu. We can be flexible with exactly when those hours fall, and would be looking to split them over three or four days.

Once I have returned to work, we will be looking for someone to support us 3-4days a week. If the candidate we find for the near-term support is able to stay on with us long-term, that would be ideal though certainly not mandatory.

We are looking for a nanny who has a WWC, is First Aid and CPR trained, COVID and Flu vaccinated and minimum 2 parent references. Additionally, a valid driver licence and clean driving record.

Ideally we would also love our nanny to help with some light housework, largely relating to the girls: mealtime prep/packdown etc., laundry, tidying living/bedrooms etc.

On Thursday and Friday, I take our four year old to Kinder, so you would just be looking after our two year (until the end of this year).

- Will take initiative with light housework including doing dishes, kids laundry, tidying up kitchen / living areas;
- May be interested in doing an additional evening or the odd weekday here and there.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch!
