KH089 - Full-Time Live-Out Nanny - Vancouver, BC + Travel

Overview

A kind and travel-loving family of three in West Vancouver, BC (Canada) is seeking a full-time live-out nanny to join their family beginning in June to take over after their doula leaves. The nanny will care for one infant who will be 4-months-old when the position begins. This fun and worldly family is looking for a very special person to join their family long-term and be a part of their child's life in a meaningful way. The schedule for this role will be flexible but will generally be 5 days per week of full coverage, guaranteeing 50 hours per week. 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.
• Nursery duties including: managing the tidiness and organization of the child's spaces, restocking baby items, packing and unpacking for trips, and child-related laundry (there is a deep cleaning team twice a week).

Qualifications

• Active, attentive and experienced when it comes to child development, knowing ages and stages, and best practices.

• Worldly view: excited about new cultures, music, and travel. A foodie at heart who will encourage the child’s palate as well.
• 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.
