Looking for a nanny with capabilities for childcare and managing a household.
We have a loving, energetic two year-old girl and will be having our second child in September 2024. Looking for someone to look after our 2 year old full time and help with the baby as needed during my maternity leave. Eventually, taking on full time care of both children when I return to work.
Responsibilities include the following:
- Childcare: looking after the child(ren)'s needs during the day.
- Taking the child(ren) out to activities around the city: i.e., strong start, family place, community centres, Science world, aquarium, parks
- Some outdoor play time for the children each day (regardless of weather)
- Light meal preparation for children (breakfast/lunch)
- Meal preparation for the family (dinner)
- Groceries and errands as needed
- Take initiative in managing household tasks: i.e., laundry, tidying the house, light cleaning
Hours:
- Full time, at least 40 hours/week
- 6:30am-2:30pm, with some days extending beyond 2:30pm. Likely to increase to 6:30am-4pm daily when I return to work.
Additional requirements:
- Willingness to work when the children are sick (due to the nature of our jobs, we have very little ability to take sick days)
- Must have a legal work permit (we are also willing to sponsor for the right candidate) - pay must be via official payroll
- Strong work ethic and commitment to support a household in which both parents have demanding jobs
- Valid BC driver's license helpful but not necessary
- Ability to speak French and/or Spanish is a bonus, but not required (our child speaks English, French, and Spanish fluently and we value exposure to multiple languages)
