Details

Description
We're looking for a mature minded, organized and fun loving girl that would like to start ASAP to help me with childcare and cooking and with the occasional babysitting at night here and there.

My 3 eldest are in school, and I only really need help during the days with my littlest (1 years old) while I study.

Childcare experience and a positive attitude is a MUST :)
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They will learn what it's like to live right in the heart of the city with a busy family! We love to camp and explore so getting dirty and singing campfire songs will also be a cultural experience!
Help
We would love to have this person become a member of the family (three sons, a 7 year old, a 9 year old, and a 1 year old, and a daughter who is 5 years old) and become apart of our happy home!
We live in gorgeous Vancouver, close to the ocean (3 blocks away) and close to the mountains (30 min drive). It's a fabulous city to be in the winter if you love skiing or snowboarding and in the summer if you love water sports or just hanging around at the beach.

Our house is very close to transit which takes you downtown in 5min and to the airport in 20 min.

We have shopping, restaurants and coffee shops within 2 blocks of house!
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
We have a bright bedroom on our second floor next to the kids bedrooms. There is a bathroom on that floor as well.
We live in a skinny tall heritage house!
What else ...
We really want you to be comfortable and will help you find activities that interest you and include you in our family events :)
Our house is so close to everything here in the city, it's easy to keep yourself busy on your down time.

She and Ryan gave me the first opportunity to get out of my routine and learn about Canadian life, culture and most importantly, they shared their children with me, thanks to them today I want to be a mama and take care of children.
