Nanny Job in Kelowna, British Columbia

Do you enjoy cleaning and maintaining an organized house? Laundry, dishes, floors, toilets, fridges, stove and more! We are an active family with 4 young kids and 2 dogs. We want to spend our time with our kids, and not have to worry about cleaning the home or doing the laundry and dishes etc. We are looking for a hard working, self starting individual that has extensive experience with interior house cleaning, proper laundry care and overall organization. We are very particular about how our clothes are laundered. Attention to detail when cleaning is important - for example when vacuuming the living room, move the sofas so you can vacuum the floor under them, but also vacuum the underside of the sofa. When cleaning the stove, use toothpicks etc. to get in the tight spots! The toilet paper always rolls over. Towels should all be folded the same way; they stack better this way. Sock need their mate and always right side out. I’m all about the details.
