We are a fun, active family seeking a nanny who loves spending time with children and is energetic, reliable and safety-focused for our 2.5-year-old twin boys in East York(Victoria Park/St. Clair) starting immediately. Our ideal candidate has previous experience looking after multiple young children, enjoys spending lots of time outdoors in all seasons, and is able to plan activities such as arts, crafts and baking to keep our boys engaged and learning. They also must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident who is legally able to work in Canada. Standard First Aid and CPR are preferred, along with someone who has been triple vaccinated for Covid-19.
We are looking for someone with a flexible schedule who can work 34hrs most weeks, and stay up to 40-50hrs the very odd week depending on dad’s fluctuating work schedule. The most common hours are 8am-4:30pm four days a week, but some days can start as early as 6:30am and end as late as 7:45pm. Availability on weekends would be a benefit as well.
It will be common for dad to be home, occasionally engaging with the children alongside the nanny on some days, while others he will be out of the house. On some evenings when Dad is working, it will be common for the nanny to stay until 7:45pm to help Mom get the boys in bed due to the extreme fatigue she experiences from a medical condition.
