Support Worker / Nanny (Neurodivergent-Affirming) – Calgary SW

Our family is seeking a compassionate, experienced support worker/nanny to join our team beginning September 2026.

This is a unique role supporting two wonderful girls (ages 7 and 5), with a primary focus on our oldest daughter, who is autistic (PDA profile) and ADHD. She thrives with low-demand, relationship-based support that emphasizes trust, co-regulation, flexibility, and nervous system safety.

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building strong relationships with neurodivergent children and is interested in becoming part of a collaborative support team.

Qualifications

Relevant experience supporting neurodivergent children is required.

Applicants should have education, training, or professional experience in one or more of the following areas:

- Disability support
- Respite care
- Child and Youth Care (CYC)
- Psychology
- Education
- Early Childhood Education (ECE)
- Behavioural support
- Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy support roles

-Experience with autism, ADHD, PDA, trauma-informed care, low-arousal approaches, and co-regulation is highly valued.

About the Role

This is primarily a childcare and support position involving:

- Community outings

-Play-based learning

- Emotional regulation support
- Building social confidence
- Driving to activities
- Light household duties (dishes, laundry, meal preparation, tidying)

Our oldest daughter is homeschooled and enjoys outings to places such as the zoo, swimming pools, parks, libraries, and homeschool meetups. She loves imaginative play, Lego, games, science, animals,



and creative activities.

Our younger daughter is active, sporty, creative, and generally attends school or activities during much of the day. Most of the time you would be supporting one child at a time rather than both together.

Our Family

We have extensive experience working alongside caregivers, aides, therapists, and FSCD-funded supports. We value open communication, mutual respect, collaboration, and ongoing learning.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside an established support team and gain valuable experience supporting a bright and engaging neurodivergent child using evidence-informed, relationship-based approaches.

We have two friendly rescue dogs, so comfort around animals is significant.

Schedule & Compensation

Live-out position
Part-time position with potential for additional hours for the right candidate
Flexible scheduling available

Compensation: $28/hour. We are happy to discuss compensation with exceptionally qualified candidates.

CPR certification preferred

Valid driver's licence and reliable vehicle preferred

If this sounds like a good fit, we'd love to hear from you. Please tell us a little about yourself, your relevant experience, and why this role interests you.

We look forward to welcoming the right person into our family's support team. ?
