  Help

  With three kids and my husband and I having business's both here and in Vancouver, we are looking for someone to be with the kids, walk the dogs and do some light household tasks. We are more looking for someone who is wanting to be part of the family. The roll will not be set times each day but more of an as needed basis or just another helping set of hands.
  
  I spend most days at home editing, so it would be be mainly spending time with the kids, helping with their meals etc. Or staying with the kids when I leave to my photoshoots or date nights.
  
  Light household tasks would just be helping with dishes/laundry as your would in your own home. It won't be required daily but on an as needed basis. We need someone who can speak English well (as they will need to be able to communicate with our children), is trustworthy and good with children.
  
  We are looking for a female to fill this role.
