Are you a nurturing, experienced childcare provider with a passion for caring? Our family is seeking care for our 2.5-year-old son.Our son is gentle, very curious, loving, active, and joyful – and we're looking for someone who can foster his enthusiasm and kind spirit. While we don't strictly follow Montessori principles, we believe in empowering our son to explore his capabilities. We value honoring his emotions, prioritizing time in nature, and fostering a love for learning through play and exploration. Our son is happy to do most activities whether indoor or outdoor and you can usually find us: riding our strider bike, baking, going for walks and pointing out nature, reading, snuggling on the couch, building tile spaceships, crafts, playing with our water table, and listening to music. Although we would like a reliable candidate, this is a flexible casual position once per month with the potential for an additional evening (date night). I will be at home to start. As this is not full time, we will do our best to work around your other work obligations. There is also the potential for full-time hours fall 2025 if you are a good fit, and still require work at that time. Our sons (emotional, physical and psychological) safety is of utmost importance to us. This will be a new experience for us, so finding the perfect match is crucial and may take us some time. We offer a safe, nurturing and flexible environment and appreciate your consideration. If you're ready to join our warm and loving family, please reach out – we can't wait to meet you!
