Nanny Wanted - Child Development Support Partner (Part Time To Full Time Flexible) Waterford, On

Hello, I'm Julia. I'm looking for an experienced child-focused professional to partner with me in supporting my six-year-old son, Luke. Luke has been diagnosed with ADHD and learns differently than many children his age. Traditional school environments have been challenging for him, and I'm exploring a more individualized approach that allows him to develop the skills he needs while building on the qualities that make him unique. Luke is endlessly curious about the world around him. He asks questions constantly and loves discovering how things work. His interests often include nature, science, space, patterns, numbers, math, games, and exploring new ideas. He has an insatiable desire to learn and thrives when he has someone engaged alongside him in that process. While he is bright and eager to understand the world, he benefits from consistent one-on-one support. He can struggle with frustration tolerance, impulsivity, persistence through difficult tasks, and maintaining confidence when faced with challenges. He responds best to patient, calm, and consistent adults who can provide structure, guidance, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed. This role is not primarily about childcare, nor is it traditional academic tutoring. My goal is to find someone who genuinely enjoys child development and is interested in helping a young child build confidence, resilience, independence, and the skills needed to thrive both now and in the future. The ideal candidate may be an:
