We are looking for a warm, reliable, energetic and proactive part-time nanny and household helper to care for our young (2.5 year old) daughter during the first half of the day. The regular schedule would be approximately 8:30 AM–1:30 PM, Monday to Thursday, ending around her nap time. We are looking for someone who wants to be actively involved in her development, not simply supervise her.

- Sports – beginner soccer, basketball, baseball, ball hockey, throwing, catching and other gross-motor activities
- Starting, switching, folding and putting away laundry
- Tidying toys and play areas
- Keeping our daughter's bedroom and belongings organized
- Loading/unloading the dishwasher
- Wiping kitchen counters and eating areas
- Light vacuuming or sweeping of high-traffic areas
- General household tidying
- Cleaning up after meals, crafts and activities
- No posting photos or videos of our daughter on social media
- No sharing information about her routines, activities, location or whereabouts
- No sharing photos, personal family information or details about our household with others without permission
- Being mindful of privacy and safety when out in public with her
- Using good judgment regarding who receives information about her or the family
