Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Eastern Middle Melbourne, VIC

We're seeking a babysitter to help us out on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to care for a 4 month old. Tuesday from roughly 10am til 3pm. Wednesday from roughly 8am til 4pm, however these times may flex week to week. You'll look after the baby while I attend appointments or work from home and you'll need to accompany me to appointments to look after the baby. Additionally, light housework like folding laundry, cleaning the kitchen after kids meals and tidying up toys is part of the role.

Looking for a Nanny to join our family long term, helping us raise our little ones and keep on top of home life.
You'll ideally be really warm, engaging, responsible, switched on and proactive when it comes to both caring for children and house responsibilities. Ultimately you'll be helping raise our children so we're looking for someone who is up for shaping their heads and hearts with some fun and laughter in the mix. We're wanting to partner with someone who can role model confidence, kindness, honesty, emotional regulation, empathy and giving everything a go.

Example responsibilities include school & kinder drop offs, caring for / playing with the children, meal prep & cooking, bottle feeding the baby (once a day), washing/folding, making beds, general tidying but no heavy cleaning.

In 2024, the week will look like this:
Mondays - 7:45 - 5:30: After helping the children get ready for the day, it will be school drop off then you'll be home with our 4 year old and the baby. This day may end up including taking our daughter to something extra curricular like swimming or gymnastics in between the baby's naps.
Wednesdays - 7:30 - 5:30: Kinder drop off of our daughter, school drop off of our son, then home with the baby for the day until kinder & school pick up (2:45, 3:20pm) . He sleeps usually two naps a day and while he is napping you can help us get on top of our domestic to do list.

In 2025, this will change to be Mondays and Tuesdays. Ideally we'll have the same person for both days, but if you can only do one at this stage please be in touch as we'd be open to having to different people on each day for the right fit. We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully welcoming you into our little world :)

Hello, I’m looking for an energetic and enthusiastic babysitter for my two boys. Aged 4.5 years old and 2.5 years old. For immediate start I need someone on Thursday during the day. Extra days needed in June/ July Monday full day 8am - 6pm and Wednesday afternoon 2:30-6:30pm. Friday evenings 4pm - 6:30pm. Occasional weekends as well for evening babysitting. If you are available on some of these days, please message me. My two boys enjoy indoor and outdoor play, going to the park, riding their bikes and imaginative play. I would like someone who can help with light chores such as hanging up some washing and cleaning up after meals and tidying up after playtime. Ideally I’m looking for someone who is interested in a long term arrangement, as we have another baby on the way. I look forward to your application.

We are a family in Chadstone and seeking a fun and caring nanny to care for our children, daughter aged 3.5 years and son aged almost 2, at least two days per week (Thursday and Friday and one other) but likely 3. Both parents work full time so would love someone who loves spending time with the kids but also happy to help us out a little to keep the house running smoothly!

The children can be delightful company and get along very well (aside from the usual sibling banter!). We do have pets but do not expect any pet care. We have recently moved to a new house so plenty of space and parks nearby. Really just after someone who is reliable, loves engaging and playing with the children and can help keep the house running and the kids organised on the day that they are here.

The kids currently have care so some flexibility on start dates but would love to confirm the new carer for our family soon. Happy to discuss hourly rate.

If this sounds like we may be a good fit for you please reach out and we can discuss further.

Many thanks
Victoria

Hello there!

I'm Alina Xu, currently on the lookout for a warm-hearted babysitter to join our family. We are located in Forest Hill, Vic 3131.

I have a delightful 2.5-year-old son who is full of energy and loves to play. Due to my current pregnancy, I'm finding it challenging to carry him, especially when he's not attending child care, and I'm unable to keep up with his playful activities. We are in need of a babysitter who is not only caring but also attentive to our needs, particularly when we go out.

Assistance with getting our son in and out of the car seat would be incredibly helpful, easing the physical strain on me. One of our main goals is to help our son become more proficient in English, which will greatly assist him in adapting to school life. Thus, we'd highly appreciate a babysitter who can engage with him in English through play and daily interactions. Initially, we are looking to start with one day a week, specifically Tuesday and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the potential to increase the hours as we become more accustomed to each other.

During his two-hour nap at noon, we would appreciate some help tidying up his toys and perhaps using the time to rest yourself in our living room. This position is perfect for someone who is loving, patient, and looking to be part of a caring family environment.

We are new immigrants from China and our English is currently at an intermediate level; we are actively working to improve it. If you think you might be a good fit, especially if you're comfortable enhancing a child's English skills, we'd love to hear from you!

Thank you for considering.
Alina and Wells

Hi there, we are looking for a consistent casual babysitter to look after our gorgeous, energetic 18 month old.
Our toddler is full of beans and loves to play. Generally requiring evenings on an ad hoc basis every 2-3 weeks approx; however sometimes day times on the weekend if we have an event/ wedding etc.

Requirements include easy dinner prep, feeding in high chair, lots of playing, reading books and settling to sleep with routine. Light cleaning up after meal times and tidying toys etc. (Maybe occasional folding and loading/ unloading dishwasher).

We also have a 5 month old golden retriever who is a delight, but also very much in training so ideally you must love dogs!

Must have previous experience with babies/ young children, WWC and highly desirable first aid training.

Please reach out if interested.
We look forward to hearing from you!
