Child Care Provider

Canmore, Canada CanadianNanny.ca Part time
Hi, My name is Justin. I live in Canmore, and the mother of children is located in Banff. I am looking for a mature, responsible, flexible individual - who would ideally have had kids of their own and/or with good work experience - to care for and provide light tutoring to my three children (ages 11♀, 14 ♂, and 16 ♂) in the Bow Valley area. Ideally, the candidate would reside in the Bow Valley themselves, or be willing to relocate and live in Canmore (on short notice). Though the exact schedule may change slightly from week to week, the typical schedule would be from 3:30 to 9:30 PM on selected weekdays, with occasional weekends (9h00am-6h00pm) depending on the unpredictability of my work-related travel. Though there is no guarantee of work per say (as ultimately this is an hourly contractual position), you can expect an average of 20-25 hours a week, with a particularly heavier month of October 2024 (estimated at 108 hours). The mother of my children and I are on an alternating parenting schedule that stays the same for a period of two weeks, namely 3-4 for two weeks, then 4-3 for a set of two weeks. You may be asked to go to her place in Banff, from time to time, to look after the children; therefore, having a reliable car and a valid driver's license is required for this position. As mentioned above, depending on where you live and whether or not you need to relocate for this job opportunity, there is a possibility for you to come and live with us and have a room of your own. The hourly rate offered would vary accordingly, namely 25$/hour if you already live in the Bow Valley and 20$/hour if you need accommodation. The selected candidate can supplement their income by working another job, if they so choose, as long as they try their best to find work on a different time schedule. Our children are often in different places at different times, and rarely together at home, all at once (except weekends, perhaps, given that the two oldest usually work evenings, on alternate nights), making it easier to manage the household. As such, they will be required to be picked up from work (when biking season is over, in late fall, winter and early spring), after their shift is over (i.e. 8h00pm). The role we are expecting you to play may be more hands-on than a typical caregiver, namely teaching the children about responsibilities and consequences. Indeed, based on my own assessment of my family’s current needs and past dynamics, here are some of the things we think and feel we may need or want from you: •establishing reward/punishment systems*; *for instance the Premack Principle, which consists of having the children do a chore, fulfilling a responsibility of some sort, and/or completing their homework first, before having screen time, for instance, or leaving the home to meet a friend downtown, etc. •enforcing rules and following up with consequences (ideally as predetermined by discussing the matter with them and involving them in the process, e.g. ‘What consequence(s) would you be fair with you, if you don’t end up doing x, y, or z?’ •having the kids on an alternating chore calendar (as I wouldn’t want you to do all of the housecleaning for them, but rather have them participate in it to a large extent) •cooking with the kids & grocery shopping with them; •having them give up electronics by a certain, pre-established time, in the evening - will setup Wifi accordingly so that it turns off automatically •impose limit on screen time (e.g. 1 to 1.5 hour in the week day evening; 4 hours a day on the week-ends) •involving the kids in some form of light exercise or activity (e.g. going to Elevation Place, walking, hiking, swimming, skiing, etc.), rather than spending whole days or whole evenings inside (when weather permitting) •helping the kids make/prepare their school lunch for school, the evening before or the morning of; •supporting with homework and/or reviewing what they learned during the day (ideally soon after they got back from school, before they relax for the evening); •picking them up after their shift at work (when biking season is over) •supporting them in time management, e.g. the latest they have to leave the home in order to catch the bus on time •doing the best you can to engage with them, rather than letting them isolate in their bedrooms •going to bed at a reasonable / decent time (so that they get their 9-10 hours of sleep a night); •waking up on time for school; •doing arts & crafts, playing card, puzzles, and board games with them If it sounds like a role you’d enjoy, please get in touch
