Calgary, Canada CanadianNanny.ca Part time
Hi there I am looking for someone to help out in my home on a consistent basis starting after August 18, two days a week. Ideally it would be Friday, plus one of the following days- Monday, Wednesday or Thursday, for about 4 hours anytime between the hours of 9 and 4. We may eventually be looking for more hours, if you are a great fit. I’m looking for someone willing to take on a home manager/ nanny/ mother’s helper type position, including regular cleaning, and some deep cleaning as my kids are very slow to warm up to others. Here is a bit about us I am a stay at home mom and I’ll be at home playing with the kids, and doing household tasks while you do the same. We are looking for someone who will take initiative around the house, who is also open to working through tasks on a list. You will need to have an excellent grasp of the English language and be very easy for a 4 year old to understand. The ideal candidate is upbeat, Flexible, compassionate, creative in play, and able to quickly come up with new ideas when the boys lose interest or look for mom. I will always come when they really need me but at times, a skillful nanny can redirect them onto a new fun task. I’m those time that they need me, our ideal nanny would happily switch over to ‘job mode’ and help out around the house. We are looking for someone who is friendly, motivated, positive, a creative problem solver, patient, playful, flexible, nonjudgmental, and is open to adapting their interaction style based on feedback. The way we interact with both of our boys is very intentional, and we are hoping that anyone who works with us will try to adopt some of our strategies, as well as learning their own. My husband and I are both teachers, though I have not been able to go back to work since Riley was born. We have two friendly cats, and we live in Lakeview. Riley (4 years 4 months) has autism and pathological demand avoidance, a nervous system disorder that sends him into fight or flight when he lacks autonomy. His anxiety can be very high. He is a bright, verbal, hesitant, energetic, and particular boy who requires someone to initiate activities then take his lead in play, treat him as an equal, and coregulate with empathy and patience. We are in a season of letting him mostly do what he wants and asking very little of him. If he does something innappropriate we are currently trying to redirect him or just say ‘oopsies’ and meet the need that is not being met that led to the behavior (usually control or attention). This ‘low demand approach’ helps calm his nervous system. He will often appear ‘bossy’ in play and mentally rigid. When he does, we go along with it if we can and let him tell us all the ways we are wrong, saying things like ‘oh, silly me’ :). This is a therapeutic strategy which gives him back a sense of control. Riley is very sensitive and perceptive. Any shaming, consequences, or negativity towards him will be felt by him deeply and trigger more behaviours. So in our home, we do not use punishment of any kind. Patience, flexibility, calm, creativity, and a willingness to let him take the lead and not react negatively when he does things that seem impolite or careless are essential in whoever may look after him. Riley loves cars, and the majority of our days are centred around cars in some way. He seeks novelty and he needs someone who will be able to think of new ways to play. He is very resistant to the feeling of being taught, as it puts others in a place above him and feels unsafe. Riley’s brother Hudson is 2 years, one month old. He is very attached to me and is hesitant with others. Here are some strategies that we use with Riley. If you think you would be able to use these strategies, you may be a good fit. If Riley rudely yells ‘get me a car’ Or ‘you did it wrong’ We try not to ask him to speak nicely, or show any upset. We say something brightly like ‘on my way’, or ‘that is my next job after I finish this one’, or ‘oops Silly me’. If Riley dumps toys or food on the floor, we don’t react in a negative way. We try to stay lighthearted through it all. The attitude necessary is ‘I’m the adult, and I can totally handle this’ Riley does well when things are explained to him briefly in a logical way so that he can understand how complying with a request may benefit him. He also does well when he can have a lot of control over things, so we let him make choices whenever possible. If he changes his mind, we adapt We ask very little of him. We even pick and choose our questions carefully in play. We use declarative language and visual cues as much as possible. Please let me know if you feel you would be a good fit
