Our 3 year old girl is a bit unwell and we would like someone to come to our place to look after her while my husband and I work from home. The times would be from 9am to 4pm on Friday the 8th of August
Hi Babysitters! I'm looking for someone 4 mornings per week (Mon/Tue/ Wed/Fri) 7am(ish)-8.45am to come to my house in North Melbourne and help me get the boys (Alex 4yo, Chris 1yo) ready for daycare.
The job involves making the kids breakfast, getting them dressed and into the car. After driving to daycare, which is in Parkville, I'll walk to work and you can park the car in a nearby street.
There is also the opportunity to pick up Saturday morning work (roughly 9am -12pm. It's flexible!) and extra casual nighttime babysitting too.
Please get in touch if you’d like to know more, Robyn
We are a family of four, my wife (Nidhi), our daughter (Saara), our dog (Chikoo) and myself.
We are based out of Macleod, about 15km north east of Melbourne city. My wife is currently living away in Sydney as she is doing her three years studies which she started in January this year. Hence the need for me to have someone to take care of Saara as an elder sister.
I have a background in IT (Cyber Security) and also have a growing business in my spare time as my long term plan. Saara is mostly independent as an 11 yrs old and your work would mainly be around helping her as a elder sister / friend along with basic household chores. You get pocket money, a separate ensuite, food, internet, Netflix, Disney+, Prime etc etc. As yet we have had 3 AuPairs and it has been a wonderful experience for both sides.
If you are a student completing your studies, we can work on a schedule to make sure you can balance your time accordingly. If this is something you are looking for, I am keen to hear from you and get to the details.
We are a family of 3 who have recently moved to Melbourne looking for a happy and active nanny to help care for our 3 year old son part-time. 10-20 hours per week. Flexible about what days/hours.

Role may include some household management tasks: light housework, errands and simple meal prep.
Will require: WWCC, police check, references and current first aid (we will cover first aid training if required).
If you're interested in the role we would love to hear about:
- your prior experience (ages of children, roles held and for how long).
- why you'd be a good fit for this role, and your availability.
- your childcare approach/philosophy.
