Additional Details
We are raising a multilingual family. Our preschooler is currently fluent in English and French and starting to read in both languages. He will be attending a French First Language school in September and will require assistance. All correspondence with the school is in French so familiarity with the language is required as you will be doing handover with the staff on occasion. He is beginning to learn Portuguese and Japanese. Preference will be given to candidates who can support language development in one or more of these additional languages.
We are looking for someone who can grow with our family and adapt as our infant transitions from newborn stages into a more predictable routine. The ideal candidate is confident in managing both a baby and a preschooler while maintaining a calm, structured, and nurturing environment.
If you are a dedicated caregiver with strong infant experience and a passion for child development, we would love to hear from you. Please respond with a cover letter showing us how you will be the best fit for our family. We look forward to hearing from you.
