Our Parenting Philosophy & Expectations We are looking for a warm, patient, and nurturing nanny who understands child development and values a flexible, child-centred approach to caregiving. We prioritize connection over compliance and believe children learn best through play, exploration, and supportive relationships.

- Encourage child-led play, creativity, imagination, and age-appropriate independence.
- Respect each child's individual personality, interests, preferences, and developmental abilities.




- Recognize the value of independent play without feeling the need to constantly direct activities or provide structured entertainment.
- Offer engaging, age-appropriate activities while allowing children the freedom to explore and participate in their own way.
- Maintain flexible daily routines rather than rigid schedules, while ensuring children's needs are met.
- Demonstrate a strong understanding of typical childhood development, including sensory exploration, safe toy mouthing, emotional regulation, and emerging independence.
- Respond to challenging behaviours and big emotions with patience, empathy, positive guidance, and developmentally appropriate expectations rather than punishment or forced compliance.
- Encourage cooperation while respecting children's autonomy, including not forcing sharing.
- Communicate openly, respect our parenting preferences, and be comfortable working in a home where a parent is frequently present.

Our ideal nanny is someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children, can balance engagement with allowing independent exploration, and prioritizes building a trusting, positive relationship with each child.

Pay: $20.00-$25.00 per hour
