Babysitting and Nanny Jobs in Western Melbourne, VIC

We are looking for a kind and energetic person to look after our 2 year-old girl while we are at work. Our current nanny (who we adore) is leaving to move back to Brazil and we're hoping to fill her shoes. We'd love someone who can take her out and about to playgrounds, the library, Melbourne Zoo and Scienceworks (we have a membership for both).

The hours:
- Minimum 18 hours per week.
- Monday & Thursday 7am–3pm, Tuesday & Wednesday 8am–2pm
- The amount of days may change depending on my partner's work (three or four days) but we can lock in the hours six weeks in advance. We will always give the minimum amount of hours agreed.
- Possible additional times/days depending on events if you’re keen.

We live in Kingsville near the West Footscray station and close to lots of playgrounds. The job would include looking after our girl (sometimes with one of us working from home): nappy changes, play, excursions, feeding her snacks and meals and putting her to sleep for a nap. We can provide the snacks and meals. We’d also expect you to clean up after meals, messy play, etc.

Please contact us with any questions or if you’re interested in the job.

Hi all. We’re looking for a casual babysitter for our 19 month old daughter Ada. We’re located in West Footscray. We don’t have any family living locally so are looking for someone to build a relationship with. We only need care occasionally but would also like to book approx 2 hours per fortnight (either as 1x 2 hrs or 2 x 1 hrs) ongoing so that Ada could get to know and feel comfortable with her sitter. I’m on leave from work but doing an internship on Thursdays so Thursday morning availability for the odd time my husband can’t look after her then would be needed (my husband has flexible work times so usually takes her then). Daytime availability will be needed.

Ada is a happy and interested toddler, loves the playground and obsessed with cats at the moment, and is great at communicating through both words and signs (she’s not deaf but knows several Auslan signs). I’m a counsellor / social worker and my husband works in education. We're keen for someone who can immerse themselves in her world, give her the time and attention she needs to communicate, is patient, fun, and can go at her pace.

Please let me know your hourly rate and why you think you may be a good fit in your message. As we're looking to build an ongoing relationship with a sitter, please only message if you're living permanently in Australia. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We are looking for a caring and reliable nanny to look after our 1-year-old son, Dillon, one day a week (9am-5pm). We have daycare arranged for the rest of the week, but we’d love someone to join our family and help with his growth and development on this one day.

Details:
Start Date: Ideally a couple of weeks before the Christmas break
Regular Schedule: Starting Monday, 6th January, for one day a week
Hours: 9am to 5pm

A little about Dillon: Dillon was born premature and is still on the smaller side for his age. He’s currently crawling and exploring the world around him, though not yet walking. We’re looking for a nanny who can nurture his development, with a focus on language skills, physical activity, and engaging play. If you have experience working with toddlers (especially those in the 1–2-year-old age range), or any relevant qualifications, that’s a big plus!

In addition to the weekly care, we’re also hoping to find someone who might be available for occasional babysitting, if that works for you.

If you’re kind, patient, and enjoy creating fun learning experiences, we’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch with your experience, and feel free to ask any questions.

Looking forward to meeting you.

My seven year old son and five year old daughter are the lights of my life and they spend near 50/50 time between their mom and myself.

Our babysitter for the last four years or so is now going to be a full-time teacher and we're so proud of her but that means we need to start looking. She will also be happy to get whomever works with us up to speed.

We will miss her but are excited to meet you!
