Babysitter for 2 girls in Braybrook

Hi everyone,

I am seeking a babysitter for my two girls, aged 10 and 12.

Ideally this position will begin next year in early February but as I will be away over Christmas I am putting out my feelers early 😊

Children: 2 girls, aged 10 and 12

Babysitter needed in Greensborough

Tue afternoons and evenings, Fri evenings

The role

We're a warm, busy family of four (5 including our cavoodle) in Greensborough looking for a steady, kind-hearted person to support our household while Dad is away touring with a show from December through to around May. Mum works full-time from home, so we need someone reliable who can help keep the week running smoothly and be a genuine, positive presence for our two girls (ages 12 and 16) — less "nanny," more an experienced extra pair of hands and a friendly face they can count on.

We’re keen for someone who can build connection, not just supervise. Someone who can help take the pressure off afternoon school runs and homework, pitch in with light cooking and tidying, and importantly be someone our 12-year-old genuinely enjoys spending time with. Friday is the anchor day: Mum takes our eldest to rep basketball that evening, so we need someone dedicated to being with our 12-year-old from dinner time until late evening.

Children: Two girls ages 12 and 16 years
Starting: From Fri 4 Dec
Rate guide: Around $30-35 p/hour
