Nanny Job in Vancouver, British Columbia

I'm an
Individual
I am a single mom with 2 girls who are almost age 12 and 5. I work from home and am self employed, but require someone to manage my household and kids activities and homework when they get home from school. My 12 year old is in Grade 7 and requires supervision to ensure homework gets done! But also someone who will spend time talking to her and making her feel loved and secure. She enjoys building lego, reading, telling jokes, drama, fine arts - anything to do with the arts, she a natural singer and loves to talk! She's incredibly bright and a natural leader with a A type personality. My 5 year old is a bundle of joy. She's a very happy well adjusted kid and is in kindergarten this year. She recently won an award for the best listener and most dedicated student in ballet, if that gives you an idea of her personality. I would love for someone to spend time with her reading, doing some math, art, baking and playing with her after school. She has activities afterschool and frequent playdates during the week, so while she is busy with friends, I need your help to tidy up and clean the house. Both girls love to bake and do anything art related. I would like a nanny who can teach the girls how to do chores and not do it for them. Someone who can encourage the kids to care about each other and others. Homework is priority and play is secondary, but i'm flexible if the girls are having a down day. Schedules and routines are very important as well as playdates and having fun. I'm very much about work hard and play hard. My background is Malaysian Chinese, but my children and I were born and raised in Vancouver. I've lived and worked around the world and love people who come from of different cultures and nationalities. We have 2 homestay students who live with us on a regular basis and I try to travel and expose my kids to people from around the world a much as possible. This is a full-time position beginning immediately and the hours I am looking for are Monday to Friday from 2-7pm. Your main responsibilities are taking care of the kids, doing homework with them, doing activities with them, cooking dinners, organizing and overseeing the children do their household chores, cleaning up after dinner, giving my 5 year old a bath before you leave and cleaning the house. I am flexible Fridays as you can start at 12:00pm and finish at 6:00pm. This job requires someone who is exceptional at multi-tasking and is efficient in what they do - great with kids, cooking and tidying up, planning and organizing and can get everything done in a 5 hour work day. We also have a 4 year old Siamese cat who is a cat in a dog's body. She loves people and loves following them around. You must have a minimum of 2 years full-time nanny experience, excellent references, be hard working, honest, compassionate, organized, pro-active, able to multi-task, efficient, speak English fluently, street smart, communicate well, be able to manage a strong minded pre-teen with sternness and love. You must also currently be living in Vancouver and be available to interview immediately. If you have any health issues, get sick frequently or back problems, this position is not the right position for you. I need someone who is reliable and responsible, but completely understand if you fall ill on occasion. My kids and I rarely ever get sick. Position is available immediately. I am looking for a full-time commitment until August 2018. Hourly wage is dependent on experience. I live in Vancouver West side, near Granville and W.41st and transportation is only 1/2 block away. Please call or text me to set up an interview. Brenda 604.728.....
