The schedule will likely change as the baby gets older and becomes more set. Responsibilities:
- Full infant care: Providing a warm and loving environment, care and engagement of the baby including enrichment in age-appropriate activities that foster physical, social, and emotional growth both in and out of the home, coordinating schedules for naps and meals, activities, and travel
- Eventual transportation to activities, play dates, and outings
- Preparing, washing, and sanitizing bottles and other baby items, helping with the child’s laundry, and with light meal preparation and cooking

Qualifications:
- Active, attentive and experienced when it comes to child development, knowing ages and stages, and best practices
- Recent training with more modern approaches and must be okay with sleep training

- Social and happy to be on the go, this family has a great group of friends with children and enjoy hosting so coordinating play dates and being comfortable with that kind of social lifestyle will be key
- The parents are active and involved, so you must know when to fade in and out of the background while staying busy
- A sense of humor and “big kid at heart” mentality will fit well in this family
- Bilingual in French or Spanish would be nice to have but not required
Requirements:
- Canadian citizen, permanent residence, or valid long-term visa, i.e. not in need of sponsorship and legally able to work in Canada; this family is open to someone relocating from another province as long as they can do so in time and without assistance
