Part-Time Nanny / Childcare Provider for Creative Family in Sechelt (15–20 hrs / week)
We’re a creative family looking for a kind, patient, and reliable nanny to care for our 3.5-year-old daughter, Hana. We’re both artists who work from home and are seeking someone who can bring playfulness and structure to Hana’s day while supporting a warm, respectful home environment.
🧒 About Hana
Hana is bright, strong-willed, and curious. She loves swimming, painting, drawing, reading, and helping Mom and Dad cook (and making plenty of joyful messes along the way!). She thrives with a steady rhythm and enjoys using her body — whether biking, running, or exploring outdoors. She loves outings to the park, library, and beach, and feels happiest when she’s creating or moving.
🌸 About Us
We’re full-time artists who recently relocated from West Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast.
James is Squamish, and I’m Japanese and Trinidadian — together, we love cooking, family movie nights, and travel (especially to Japan). We’re excited to add a dog to our family now that we have the right property for it.
Our parenting approach is gentle, respectful, and rooted in emotional awareness, curiosity, and connection. We value creativity, independence, and kindness over strict structure. We hope to find someone who feels like an extended part of our family — someone who loves children, brings creative energy, and communicates openly.
