Nanny Wanted - Nanny Needed For Our 26 Month Old — Oakville

We’re a warm, loving family in Oakville looking for a kind, dependable nanny to help us during the busy newborn stage and hopefully become a trusted part of our family. We have a 26-month-old daughter and a newborn son. Our daughter is sweet, energetic and loves books, music, playing outside and being involved in everything! With a new baby at home, we’re looking for someone who can give her lots of one-on-one attention, play with her and help her maintain some of the fun and routine she’s used to. Mom will be home with the newborn, so the primary focus of this position will be our toddler. We’re hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys this age and will treat our daughter with warmth, patience and enthusiasm. We’re flexible regarding the schedule and may initially need longer hours, particularly while we adjust to life with a newborn. The position could involve several hours per day, multiple days per week, with the possibility of adjusting the schedule over time based on our family’s needs and the right candidate’s availability. What you’ll be doing:

• Playing with and caring for our daughter
• Reading, crafts, music, games and other age-appropriate activities
• Outdoor play and walks
• Preparing simple meals and snacks
• Helping with her normal daily routine
• Taking her to local parks, libraries, programs or other outings as we become comfortable
• Light tidying related to her care when time permits

Initially, we’d like to spend some time getting to know each other and have the nanny primarily care for our daughter in our home while Mom is nearby with the baby. We’d then gradually work up to outings without Mom. We want everyone — especially our daughter — to feel comfortable with the arrangement. Safety is extremely important to us. We are looking for someone with:

• Current First Aid & CPR certification
• Excellent references from previous childcare employers
• A current police/background check, preferably including a Vulnerable Sector Check where applicable
• Significant experience caring for toddlers
• A strong understanding of child safety and responsible supervision

Experience with newborns is also a plus, although caring for the newborn will not be the primary responsibility of this position. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is warm, trustworthy, responsible and genuinely loves working with children. We hope to find someone who will become a familiar and trusted person in our daughter’s life, rather than simply someone who comes to the house to provide childcare. If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear a little about you, your childcare experience, your availability and the families you’ve worked with. We’re happy to arrange a phone or video call first and then meet in person with our daughter. Please visit to view full details and to apply. FREE REGISTRATION and lots of jobs to choose from!
