Nanny Job in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I'm an
Individual
Hello! I'm looking for a part-time nanny, who likes pets and is bright. The young lad in the picture above, Landon, is now 8 years old. He is in Gr. 3 at Lawson Heights School. Although we no longer have a dog, he now enjoys a pair of ferrets, Karl & Kristen. All will need tending and proactive ideas for ongoing socialization speech development, physical activity, and cognitive stimulation. Landon has been described a sweet and intelligent boy by his teachers. He has some neurodevelopmental challenges he is working strongly through. His interests are drawing, martial arts and his pets. We have a spacious condominium together, with a downtown balcony viewing out towards Midtown Plaza, only one block South. Light urban gardening skills are always appreciated. If you are fearful of Covid and government, this is not the job for you, I'm afraid. We're looking for the right match, not necessarily the first-comer. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Warmest, Dennis Addendum: [Courtesy of Nanny A.B., July 2021, with Permission) "Things i wish i knew before working with landon: The most important thing i learnt working with landon is how well he responds to having his days, events and goals pre planned. For example, if you are tasked with getting him to brush his teeth at night, make sure you tell him about it before you arrive at home and ask it, be clear in the beginning of your time together but also try to make it at a happier time. If hes upset about anything at the time, asking a negative taks of him will make him spin out of control in anger. When he does have those days, which he inevitably will, giving him space and time to self regulate is so important. You can try to ask questions and coach him out but at the end of the dya, he will find a way to say no to it all. HE also responds really well to a first this then that process, so if i am to take him shopping ( which he hates) il let him choose something super fun to do after and continuously remind him of the fun thing we get as soon as were done. Landon is extremely smart, he's capable of keeping up adult conversations and loves to talk and be asked questions both philosophical and more shallow ones..... also loves, vanilla ice cream, a&w chicken strips, fuddruckers, animals ( forestry farm) riding horses, apex, movies (not the intense ones though) escape rooms and just about anything that uses problem solving. Landon is such a great little human and it was an honor to work with him. He has so much empathy and so many jokes, i hope you enjoy your future days with him :)"
