Our twins started JK this year and we are looking for someone who can help us with occasional help on evenings, weekends, possibly some school pick ups and some unexpected days when the kids are sick. We live a short walk, about 3 blocks from the school. We would also love to find someone who not only supports us, but can be an extension of our family...someone we will grow to love and trust. No pets, non-smoking, Filipino family in the downtown core of Hamilton, walking distance to bus stops and GO. Is this you? • Child safety is top priority • Is flexible with their time • Shows initiative, leadership, resourcefulness and is proactive • Is able to be firm but gentle when the kids refuse to take a bath, go to bed, etc. • Can hold their ground and say NO when they keep asking for candy! • Great and open communicator verbally • Highly responsive on group messaging app • Punctual, reliable, considerate • Follows instructions carefully and asks questions when unsure • A mature sense of responsibility • Trained in CPR/first aid (we can train!) • Can take constructive criticism positively • Can take care of sick children if needed • Fun, loving, creative (not just TV as an activity) • Overall very patient • Is comfortable with bathing the kids and making it fun • Can deal with tantrums calmly • Familiar with technology (monitoring systems, receiving e-transfers, digital devices and appliances) • Helps out with light housework (laundry, mopping/sweeping floors, cleaning surfaces, vacuuming, keeping main working areas and the twins' washroom clean) • Comfortable with meal preparation and feeding picky eaters • Meticulous and careful -- takes good care of our belongings (toys, kitchen tools, kids clothing, etc.) • Have references that I can contact Hope this helps to give you an idea of the kind of family we are and to help you make an informed decision on your search for the right family!
