Our family, coming from Australia in 2022 (PR 2024), living in SW Calgary (Spruce Cliff) are seeking a responsible and dedicated individual to care for our 2 sons, aged 3.
5 years and 10 months. Our oldest is on the spectrum, non-verbal, and started PUF + therapies Sept 2024, which is helping him thrive tremendously.
He's pretty self sufficient, pretty introvert, just needs some extra help with some direction & diaper changing (not yet potty trained) & communicates with occasional vocal stimming.
Outside of those challenges, he's the sweetest boy that's chock full of energy, loves the outdoors & growing to try / love so many new and different things everyday.
Our youngest is developing at lighting speed, started pulling up at 7 months, cruising at 8 months, now standing on his own for a few good seconds at 9 months.
He's exclusively formula fed (We have a Brezza so its already pre-set, you just push a button, mix & serve : D) with combined baby-led weaning solids (eating at an 18 month level, so it's 1 meal split between 2 with minor prep differences i.
e. cut fruit vs whole fruit, cut sandwhich in quarters vs cut in half etc.). He's also pretty self sufficient, more of an extrovert, loves interacting with people, loves music (particularly Armin Van Buuren or classical / piano) also loves the outdoors (or just going out anywhere), is also mostly on-time with his "duties" (feed, change, play, sleep sleep SLEEEEPPPPP! LOVES SLEEP!).
Both boys have alot of likes / dislikes in common, so even with their polar opposite personalities, you don't really need a split personality yourself to keep up, haha!
This is a live-out, casual position (odd days, if available. Will give as much notice as possible for each day(s) required with times / durations to be discussed and confirmed prior to services accepted - i.
e. we'll ask if you're free x day for x hours (am or pm, Mon-Sun).
Your primary responsibilities will include engaging in age-appropriate activities, providing meals / snacks, light housekeeping, meal preparation & ensuring the safety / well-being of our children.
Caring requests will vary each time (day / night / duration). Either way we are happy to agree to a changing rate depending on the situation.
We will just txt to ask for a date / time & if you're available just reply yes with the rate.
If this is something you're interested in and can commit to 13th Dec 2024, please reach out. Thanks!
