Experience Nanny Needed in London, Ontario
We’re looking for a really great human to spend time with an energetic, curious, thoughtful and neurodivergent 12-year-old who is learning outside of a traditional classroom setting. This isn’t a traditional tutoring job. We’re looking for someone who understands that learning and growth can happen through curiosity, movement, play, conversation, shared interests and real‑life experiences — and who genuinely enjoys connecting with kids who think and experience the world a little differently. You might be the right person if you:
are calm and patient, but also fun, interesting and willing to get involved understand neurodivergence and respect a young person’s need for autonomy
know how to de‑escalate rather than escalation and don’t get drawn into unnecessary power struggles
can provide guidance and appropriate boundaries without being pushy or controlling
know when to encourage, redirect, change course or give some space
are active, curious and creative, and willing to follow an interest down a rabbit hole
can introduce current ideas and experiences without needing everything to go according to plan
could become a positive mentor and role model — someone he can trust, learn from, have fun with and genuinely look forward to seeing
What might you do together? It will vary. There might be trips to the library, cooking, projects, bike riding, strategy games, exploring an interest in airplanes, getting outside or researching a completely unexpected question.
Some days might include something more structured. Other days might mostly involve playing, being active, talking, exploring an interest or simply spending time together. We’re comfortable with that. We’re less concerned with what learning is supposed to look like and more interested in finding someone who can build a genuine connection, follow his curiosity and recognize the learning and growth that can happen naturally along the way. You don’t need to be a teacher. You might be studying Education, Psychology, Kinesiology, Health Sciences, Social Science or something completely different. Experience with neurodivergent children, camps, coaching, tutoring, recreation, respite or mentoring is an asset, but who you are with kids matters just as much to us as what’s on your résumé.
Schedule: Mondays and Tuesdays, generally 3–5 hours per day within the 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. timeframe. Hours can be flexible around a university schedule. We’re also open to finding the right person for each day, so please reach out even if you’re available only Mondays or only Tuesdays.
Location: Masonville area, London. A parent works from home and will generally be present while giving you space to develop your own routine.
Transportation: A driver’s licence and vehicle are an asset but not required. Transportation for outings can be coordinated if needed.
Requirements: First Aid/CPR and a Vulnerable Sector Check, or willingness to obtain both before starting.
Compensation: $20-$25/hour, depending on experience.
