Richmond Hill - Mother's Helper for 15-Month-Old (Mon-Fri) - ability to speak Cantonese an asset

We’re a Richmond Hill family seeking a warm, reliable Mother’s Helper/Nanny for our 15-month-old, Monday to Friday during the day. A parent/grandparent is usually home but may step out, so you should be comfortable caring for our toddler independently or alongside us. Our parenting style is gentle and respectful, with an emphasis on empathy and calm connection. Our toddler is sensitive and observant. We encourage Montessori-inspired play and reading, with screens limited to occasional family video calls. English fluency is required; Cantonese or Mandarin is important to communicate with the grandparent. Hours are currently about 15 per week, increasing to 20–30 per week in February 2027. We hope you can start as soon as possible. You’ll supervise and engage our toddler, support naps, change diapers, prepare toddler meals and snacks, and clean up afterward. You may occasionally assemble a simple lunch for a parent. Light household tasks include tidying play areas, baby laundry, and loading or unloading the dishwasher. Future outings may include walks, park visits, errands, and family trips. Toddler or infant care experience is required; references and First Aid/CPR certification are preferred. You should be patient, energetic, a non-smoker, and able to commute reliably to Richmond Hill. Pay is $20/hour base, negotiable based on experience and qualifications.
