- At least two (2) years of relevant work experience.
- Experience working with families from diverse backgrounds (an asset)




- Someone who is a good listener, communicates well, and genuinely enjoys helping others.
- Strong problem-solving and organizational skills, including the ability to prioritize and manage regular, recurring tasks and emergent situations.
- The ability to handle sensitive situations with compassion, professionalism, and confidentiality.
- Someone who can work independently while being part of a supportive team
- Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Office
- Valid Class 5 driver’s license
- Flexibility to work occasional evenings or weekends
