Description
We are a family of four, including my husband, myself, our son who is 6 and our daughter who Is nearly 4. We live just a short walk to downtown Victoria, BC which is a beautiful and active city to explore. My husband works at a city community center and I am a teacher. We are looking for a female to help us with our children during the weekdays. We live in a three bedroom character house and we live very near a shopping area and bus lines. My husband and I enjoy playing music, card games, swimming with our children and eating good food!
We like to go away fairly regularly to vancouver and TOFINO BC, and we would welcome you to join us if you feel like it!

Help
We are looking for someone who enjoys children and is willing to help out with the kids during the daytime. We would expect about 25 hours a week of help between Monday and Friday, with some possibility of extra paid babysitting. We would also like some help with light housework such as dishes or tidying the kids toys! Our older son is in kindergarten all day Monday-Friday and needs driving to school and our daughter attends preschool for a couple hours each day and also needs to be driven so it is very helpful if our workawayer has a license and feels comfortable driving with children in the car.

Accommodation
We have a large bright bedroom available on the main floor of our house with a queen bed, large windows and a large closet. There is only one bathroom in the house so it is shared.
What else ...
Because our children are younger, we hope to find someone that wants to stay for a minimum of 3 months. We look forward to finding someone to join our busy house!
