I’m in Oak Bay looking for part-time childcare support for my two children: a curious, energetic 6-year-old girl and a sweet 6-month-old baby boy. Right now, I’m primarily looking for: * Regular Saturday evening support (approximately 6:30-10:... p.m.) * Occasional daytime help while I attend appointments or activities * Occasional evening babysitting so I can attend dance or social events * Potential for additional regular hours if it’s a good fit For Saturday evenings, one parent will generally be home. We often divide and conquer so each child can have a calm, supported bedtime experience. We’re looking for someone warm, calm, dependable, and emotionally attuned who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Experience with infants is important. My baby is breastfed and strongly attached to me, so I’m looking for someone patient, grounded, and comfortable helping him gradually build trust and familiarity over time. A bit about our family: * We value emotional intelligence, communication, creativity, gentleness, and connection. * We are not a high-screen household. * We spend a lot of time outdoors gardening, walking, and playing. * We believe in engaging with children rather than simply supervising them. Ideal qualities: * Experience with infants and young children * Current First Aid/CPR certification * Calm, patient, and emotionally regulated * Reliable and communicative * Comfortable taking initiative when needed * Respectful of family rhythms and parenting preferences Light tidying (such as cleaning up toys or helping reset the kitchen after dinner) is appreciated when time allows. We’re located in Oak Bay. Non-smoking household, no pets. If this sounds like a fit, please send me a message with a bit about yourself, your childcare experience, availability, hourly rate, references, and anything else you’d like us to know.
