We have a beautiful little girl called Matilda who was born on the 31st December so is almost 4 months old. We are looking for a part time nanny to start in July (with some casual babysitting from now until then) as I return to part time work post maternity leave.
We are initially looking for a full day on Monday as well as Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon and evening. Next year we will be looking to extend those hours as I take on more of a full time workload although we will have some flexibility between my husband, George and I.
We would appreciate someone who has experience with infants and young babies especially with introduction of solid food and encouraging reliable sleep patterns.
We are an international family with a 2-year-old daughter (born January 2023), currently relocating to Melbourne. We are looking for a caring, reliable, and energetic babysitter with 3+ years of experience to join us for 45 hours / 5 days per week. We plan to stay two months in Melbourne, then one month in Sydney, followed by one month in New Zealand. Ideally, if the babysitter could be comfortable with travel, we will cover food costs, flights and accommodation.
We are hoping for someone who would be available to start on 10th, 11th or 12th April — next week — as we’ll be settling into our new home and would love to have support from the very beginning.
Key responsibilities and T&Cs include:
- Preparing meals, feeding, nap time, tidying up
- Active and creative play (indoors and outdoors), reading, singing, drawing
- Following clear instructions and house rules (no outings unless approved)
- No personal phone use during work hours (except communication with parents)
- Providing daily updates on meals, naps, play, and mood
- Occasionally available for overnight care
- Warm, gentle approach — no discipline or screen time
If this position sounds like something you’d be interested in, we’d love to hear from you. When replying, it would be really helpful if you could kindly include the following:
1) A bit about your qualifications — including first aid training, any childcare certifications, and your experience working with children
2) A copy of your CV, along with any references or reviews from families you’ve worked with previously
3) Whether you’d be open to travelling with us to Sydney and later New Zealand (this is optional)
4) Whether you'd be happy with a 45-hour week (across five days), with some flexibility around start/finish times — for example, starting later and finishing later on some days if we have an evening out
5) And finally, your salary expectations for a full-time role — either weekly or monthly, whichever you prefer
We’re really looking forward to finding the right person to support our daughter during this exciting time!
Hello, we are a family of three residing in Southbank. I am looking for a friendly and responsible baby sitter for my 22 months daughter on Wednesday mornings from 11am to 1pm. We will increase the days eventually. Childcare experience is a must along with WWCC and Police check. It would be good if the babysitter can bring some teaching aids appropriate for a toddler. It could be one or two simple activities to do in the two hours. Thank you.

We’re looking for a warm, reliable nanny to join our family and help care for our two beautiful boys!
Primary care will be for our youngest, Beau (7 months old), with the very occasional care for his older brother Raf (3 years old), who attends kinder most days.

Hello ❤️ we are a new family: baby Bo, kim and Mosa -
A small and laid back and very loving family looking for some extra support. Baby Bo is just 18 months and walking and talking and starting to become a little more independant.

Hello!
We are a happy and friendly family of 5 who live in Albert Park, right near the Village, beach, parks and all that our wonderful suburb has to offer.

Looking for someone who is able to help take the older boys to their activities (Tuesday for a half day morning and Friday a full day) , or alternatively stay home with the baby so I am able to spend some time with them at their activities. Henry and Charlie are both in daycare and kinder a few days a week and we are also looking for someone to help out with some pickups (around 4:30pm -7:30pm) 2-3 evenings a week (flexible with days and finish time!)
Also looking for someone who is able to look after Billy on occasion so I can duck out and get some things done during the week when the others are in care. Further to this - availability for the odd date night and weekend work is an added bonus too!
We are very friendly and relaxed family and love welcoming nanny’s and babysitters into our homes and always do our best to make everyone feel part of the family and welcome in our home.

We are looking for a nanny to care for our two children aged 10 months and 3.5 years 3 days a week (one day with just the baby) in Albert Park.
Someone looking for longer term work as our family grows up is ideal. A license is preferable but not essential. Would suit someone who likes getting outdoors with the kids.
My name is Danielle and I am happily married to husband Brent. We have two sons. One 3 year old Noah and a 1 year old. I will be retuning to work in the coming month or so and would like a baby sitter every second Monday.
Hi there,
Hope you are well. I am looking for a part time nanny/sitter who is great with kids and a small dog :)
The babysitter will be working side-by-side with me for the morning and evening routine and will not be on their own as I have a 1 year old and an infant.
I live in South Yarra so we have access to all public transport within minutes, restaurants, CBD, etc. You will also have access to pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym facilities should you wish to do so before or after work.
I have a 1 year old and if you do not have experience that is okay as I train people how to work with kids and babies as a living.
Duties will include playing with baby, tidying up toys, diaper changes, meal prep, tidying up, cleaning bottles, walking dog. I typically do the feed, bath and bed with the baby but if I am unable to then I will get your help.
I am a single mom so I just need an extra hand to help me. As we will be working together and with the baby, you will be considered and welcomed as part of the family.
I am looking for someone long term as the baby does get attached, he is very affectionate!
This can be a 2 part position as I potentially need help on all the days so tasks can be divided.
Please email CV to my email is artikasingh.aba@gmail.com
ONLY THOSE WHO EMALED CV/RESUME WILL BE CONSIDERED.
Please note: it is $25 to start with pay increase after 3 months. Also can provide great reference for careers to those individuals who stay on long-term, as I have my own private practice.
Also note, you must be willing to get a whooping cough vaccine as there is an infant in the household.
I'm looking for after school care for my 2 kids (boys 5 + 8), on Mondays + Wednesdays. The job involves picking up from school, after school activities , basic meals + care till we get home. Looking for someone fun and engaging! There are opportunities to help with clothes folding etc if interested. We live in st kilda west. Can offer a minimum for 10 hours/week. Needs to have a car but we will reimburse for fuel etc.
Would you like to chat to discuss?
Thank you.

Hi All,
I'm a parent of a young boy, who is 8 years old.
I work casual hours, weeknights and weekends, any time during the day (but never overnights).
I'm seeking a Nanny / Mothers help that is qualified in Early Education or studying towards.
Payment is via an agency so I get the government subsidy. This is not a cash in hand role.
A Nanny that is engaging and loves working with kids.
My boy is super easy to look after but is a little fussy when it comes to eating, so someone that is confident in the kitchen that knows a little more than the basics would be ideal. I provide all meals most of the time but your input on occasion would be welcomed.
My work is adhoc, you will be one of a few nannies, so no pressure to always be available.
Please get in touch if you wish to chat further :)
Our family is looking for a casual babysitter who would like to help us out with 3 children ages 7, 13 and 15.
The applicant must love being with children and want to be a part of a fun family environment.
We are ideally looking for someone available casually afternoons from 3-7pm and someone who is also interested in doing occasional nights and weekends.
The applicant is required to mainly care for the 7 year old but also to drive older children to sporting activities when required.
Most importantly we are looking for someone who is neat and tidy. Someone who is more than happy to do housework for the children including washing, lunchboxes, cooking and tidying up after kids.
Full Licence and a safe car is required
Looking for a highly organised, caring and fun person who can help our busy family by supporting the school pick-up / after school routine for one full day per week (starting around 2:30pm or earlier by negotiation, for additional home organisation / help).
We have two girls: a happy, content and inquisitive 2 year old and a confident, friendly and creative 6 year old. We also have an adorable small family dog (spaniel) who loves people so you must be comfortable dealing with her.
Regular hours would be Thursdays approximately 2:30pm to 7pm, or earlier start for additional home help by negotiation. Options of additional afternoons / evenings from time to time and potential but not requirement for additional hours during school holidays.
Our children form a bond with their nannies so we’d prefer it if you can commit to an ongoing regular schedule rather than a short term / casual placement.
We are located in Toorak with an easy stroll to shops, library, parks and playgrounds, 3 minutes from a tram stop and 10 minutes from the train station.
Our 2 year old child is very happy and relaxed, loves sensory play, music and getting outdoors. She attends daycare around a 15 minute drive from our home. We also have a 6 year old at a nearby school about 5 minutes drive / 10 minutes tram away. We will provide access to our car & car seat. Our 6 year old is very into music, stories, sport and games. My husband and I work full time, often from home, but are usually stuck at our desks most of the time.
At 2:30 you’d arrive at our home, organise school lunch boxes then pick up from kinder and child care using our car, bringing the children home, run some fun after school activities eg games, craft, outdoor play, and then running the dinner / bathtime routine. Sometimes the kids will have play dates or be picked up by us, but usually still home by 5pm.
Option to start earlier If you’ve got particular skills or interests in organising / tidying / general light household management, to keep the kids toys and clothes in order; do meal prep or the like. We have a longstanding weekly cleaner so you’re not expected to do do heavier cleaning. If you’re happy to take our dog for a short walk that would be great too, but not essential.
You would need to have a drivers licence, WWC and child first aid (though we are happy to support you in obtainjng first aid cert. for a auccessful candidate).
The right fit with us and our family is more important than your level of experience or qualifications, though references are preferred. We can also provide references for you to speak with other nannies who have worked with our family, we think its important that you are as happy with the fit as we are!
