Nanny Job in Sherwood Park, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
ABOUT US: We are a friendly, happy, welcoming family of four (plus a large dog and a fish!) who live in the hamlet of South Cooking Lake (approx 15 minutes SE of Sherwood Park/ 15 min East of South Edmonton). We enjoy activities such as skating, swimming, bike rides, going for walks, tobogganing, camping...anything outdoors! When we are stuck indoors we enjoy baking/cooking, reading books, playing games, etc. Most of all; we love to laugh (and try to find humor on grumpy days), be goofy, and enjoy the outdoors as much as we can. My husband is an Elevator Mechanic and I am a Licensed Practical Nurse. We live in a small home; so you would have to enjoy being in close quarters for the most of the day. WHAT WE NEED: We are looking for someone to become a part of our family part-time to help me with my 10 month old baby girl and 3.5 year old boy as I am a stay-at-home Mom and work casually; and finding that I need some support during the day. We are fairly flexible on daytime hours; but approximately we would need someone from 8:00am-4:00pm. However on my work days I would need someone from 7:00am-4:30pm. We are looking for someone that is ok with versatility in duties during the week that can change day to day. Also someone that is self motivated and conscientious who can take on tasks without being asked is a bonus! DUTIES INCLUDE: *Using positive reinforcement with the children; but also not afraid to be firm and to have privileges taken away when necessary. *Following children's regular daily schedule *Caring for both children alone when I am at work (between 1-5 times a month) *Accompanying myself to activities with the children (or staying home with the baby during naps). *Meal preparation for family. *Housework (dishes, vaccuum, wash floors, clean bathrooms) *Going for groceries or running errands in town (note: we live 20 minutes out of town) *Must be comfortable with dogs; as we have a very large dog that takes awhile to warm up to strangers. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: We are looking for a female caregiver that is very energetic, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to; with some silliness you aren't afraid to let loose to match our little boys goofy sense humour. We have worked hard to instill good manners in our 3.5 year old, and require a good role model to ensure this. We want you to become a part of our family and feel at home while you are here. We hope to find someone that is health conscious as we are a family that strives to eat healthy and maintain an active lifestyle that we hope to instill in our children; however we all love the occasional treat and enjoy our ice cream etc! The ideal candidate would also have the safety of our children as a top priority, and is able to be extremely aware of protecting them but allowing them to explore and have fun! We require you to have CPR and First Aid; Criminal Record Check or willing to obtain it prior to the start date. WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR CHILDREN: We want our children to be outdoors as much as possible, and conveniently have a playground across the street and also a large backyard. We are looking for someone who has a great imagination and will plan activities, games and crafts with the children. Ultimately we want our kids to have fun and laugh! However; we also do not expect continuous entertainment; and encourage them to have independent play and quiet times for everyone's well being! If you feel our family would be a good fit for you, or you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thanks for your interest!
