Mom is currently on maternity leave until the end of the year, so this role begins as a collaborative partnership and will transition into supporting us as she returns to work. Our children are incredibly affectionate and sweet, and we are truly seeking a long-term fit—someone who wants to build a strong bond with our kids and grow with our family for years to come. Children: Daughter - Social, energetic and loving 2.5 / 3 years old; Son: Very active 10 months old. Schedule & Hours: Monday to Friday: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM (25 hours/week). Weekends: Ability to occasionally support for a couple of hours on Saturdays or Sundays (with prior notice). About the Role & Key Responsibilities: This is a true hybrid role.

If the parents are engaging with the kids, you will pivot to household tasks, and vice versa.

Household Organization & Robust Tidy Care: We need someone who sees a cluttered space and actively enjoys bringing order to it. Responsibilities include: - Initiative-Driven Organization - Recognizing areas that need attention and taking charge—such as sorting and putting away items piled on the dining table, decluttering a messy cabinet, or organizing toy zones. - Kitchen & Meal Upkeep - Occasionally handling light snack prep or meal prep for the family, but mostly focused on the kids, executing a thorough clean-up immediately following the kids' meal times (wiping highchairs, clearing dishes, cleaning the floor), and taking on occasional tasks like cleaning out the refrigerator. - Cleaning - Keeping the house tidy, which includes making/changing bedsheets, tidying toys, and regular vacuuming and occasional swiffer of the floors to ensure a clean environment for the kids. - Laundry: Managing the kids' and family laundry, including washing, folding, and neatly putting away clothes.

RECE or education background considered an asset. CPR trained and certified. - A natural organizer who is detail-oriented and doesn't wait to be asked to tidy, declutter, vacuum, or jump in to play with the kids. - Warm, loving, and passionate about childhood development and building deep relationships with children. - Driving: A valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and comfort with potentially driving both children is a huge asset. * Must be legally authorized to work in Canada. * Serious applicants only Please visit https://canadiannanny.ca/jobs/looking-for-a-parttime-nannyhousekeeper-mothers-helper-needed-in-etobicoke-our-family-of-4-flexible-start-canadian-nanny-job-toronto-on to view full details and to apply.
