  Beschreibung

  Hi! I'm Sandra — a mama to an incredible, bright, and active 11-year-old daughter with Down syndrome. She is highly functional, fun-loving, and full of energy. I’m a flight attendant, which means my schedule can vary, so I’m looking for someone flexible, responsible, and nurturing to help care for her while I’m away.
  
  I also work as an actress, voice actor, workshop facilitator, and I’ve been an Empowered Living coach for the past 3 years.
  
  I’m fluent in French and English, speak good Spanish, and a bit of Greek. I value kindness, mutual respect, clear communication, and a good sense of humor. I lead a balanced, health-conscious lifestyle — I enjoy clean eating, staying active, listening to great music, and spending time in nature — and I’m hoping to find someone with similar values.
  
  I'm looking for someone who is health-minded, a non-smoker, and leads an active and grounded lifestyle. If you’re someone who brings good energy into a home, is self-aware, and genuinely enjoys being around children, I think we’ll be a great fit.
  
  *A minimum stay of 4 months is required, to allow my daughter to build a stable, trusting connection and for you to fully settle into the rhythm of our home.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Staying with us offers a unique opportunity to experience life in a bilingual (French/English) household and be immersed in the everyday rhythm of a creative, conscious, and caring home. You’ll learn firsthand about parenting a child with special needs, while also gaining insight into positive communication, gentle discipline, and emotional resilience.
  
  As I work in the entertainment and wellness industries, you might also get a behind-the-scenes look into the world of acting, voice work, coaching, and hosting creative workshops. If you're curious, I’m happy to share my knowledge or involve you in artistic and wellness-based projects.
  
  You’ll have the chance to explore Montreal’s vibrant multicultural scene, enjoy amazing food, visit beautiful parks and festivals, and practice your French and English.
  
  Whether you’re looking to grow personally, learn about child development, discover a new culture, or simply experience a grounded and intentional way of living — there’s so much here to take in, explore, and enjoy.

  Arbeit

  I’m looking for someone kind, reliable, and full of energy to help care for my daughter when I travel. She’s in school during the week, so tasks include:
  
  Putting her on the bus at 8:30 AM and picking her up at 4:30 PM
  
  Afternoon and evening care until bedtime around 8:30 PM
  
  You’d need to be available for one full day and night on a weekend, though which day can vary. I always give plenty of notice so you can plan your own time with ease.
  
  Preparing healthy meals and school lunches
  
  Helping with homework and bathing
  
  Keeping the house clean and organized while I’m away
  
  My daughter is bright, funny, and full of life — but like many kids her age (and especially those with Down syndrome), she can also be strong-willed. She may try to push boundaries, so it’s important that you’re comfortable holding firm, staying calm, and not easily swayed. Clear boundaries and consistency help her thrive, and she responds best to someone who is both loving and confident.
  
  🌟 What I’m Looking For
  A non-smoker, not a big partier
  
  Someone independent, respectful, clean, and organized
  
  A positive, active, and autonomous person who can confidently run the household while I’m away
  
  Someone loving but firm — who can hold clear boundaries and not give in too easily, especially when my daughter tests limits
  
  Previous experience with children or special needs is a big plus
  
  Willingness to provide references is required

  Unterkunft

  I live in a clean and bright 3-bedroom upper duplex in a peaceful residential area. The space is filled with soft whites and grays, and we aim to keep it calm, tidy, and welcoming. While the home is not modern, it has a lot of character and charm — a cozy, lived-in feel that people tend to really enjoy.
  
  You'll have your own private bedroom and access to everything you need.
  
  The neighbourhood is about 20 minutes by car or 45 minutes by bus to downtown. We do share the building with neighbors below, so being respectful of noise is appreciated.
  
  Everything is included — food, accommodation, and a warm, supportive space to call home.

  I believe in kindness, respect, and good energy — and I’m looking for someone who shares those values. A positive attitude and grounded presence go a long way in creating a peaceful and happy home. I’ll do my best to make sure you feel comfortable, included, and supported during your stay — and I’d be happy to show you around the city when I can!
  
  I love good food, music, movement, and meaningful conversations. For me, it’s all about balance and a healthy lifestyle, and I’m hoping to find someone who also enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and living mindfully. Since I work from home when I’m not flying, I’d appreciate someone who’s independent and enjoys getting out to explore, rather than staying indoors all the time.
  
  In your free time, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy Montreal’s incredible cultural life — museums, festivals, music, cafés, yoga studios, parks, and more. We’re in a quiet residential area, about 20 minutes by car or 45 minutes by bus to downtown. Public transit is easily accessible, and there are local shops, trails, and green spaces nearby.
  
  I want your experience here to be more than just a stay — but a meaningful cultural exchange, filled with connection, growth, and exploration.
  
  Looking forward to connecting and creating something beautiful together!
  —Sandra
