  Descrição

  ***Note: I am looking for someone for April - May 2025 ***
  
  Hi, I am a single mom in my 40s and I live with my daughter who is 4. I’m looking for a person (prefer a woman, no couples, no pets) who can help me with things like cooking dinner during weekdays, cleaning, daycare pickup, babysitting and minor house stuff.
  
  Some experience with childcare would be a plus, as well as first aid and child safety knowledge. I’m looking for someone who is also open to communicating needs and expectations and talking through any issues that might come up together.
  
  I’d prefer longer stays if possible (1 month+).
  
  I work 4 days a week usually at home and am usually busy in meetings and writing from 9-5 on those days. I sometimes go to my office.
  
  I’m a pretty social person who likes to spend time with friends, do yoga, and watch artsy movies. I hang out a lot in the neighbourhood cafes, and in the warmer months, enjoy riding my bike and walking up the mountain.
  
  I think a lot about how to build community. I’ve lived and worked in India for several years and have also spent time in Namibia, Scotland, and Northern Quebec doing research.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Montreal is a French-speaking city (with many speakers of English and other languages as well) in Quebec, Canada – so if you want to be immersed in Quebecois culture while experiencing all winter has to offer in Canada, here is your chance.
  
  I live in a lovely neighbourhood. There are many great restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, boutiques, zero waste/organic shops, galleries, a library, a gym – everything you’d need is a 5 to 15-minute walk from home. The Mont Royal is also nearby, an urban mountain where many people go on nature walks or cross-country skiing.
  
  You’ll find no shortage of opportunities to take language, art, or yoga/fitness classes nearby. I am not far from downtown, where you can explore the city’s vibrant arts and culture scene.
  
  My daughter and I speak French and English, and are happy to converse in either language. I speak some Hindi and Italian as well, and am happy to practice! I like learning new things and am happy to share what I know or am learning about (global or local social/economic issues, drawing, painting, empathetic communication, co-housing models, parenting). I'm pretty decent at cooking both Indian and Italian food - happy to share recipes.

  Ajuda

  I am separated so my child spends 3-4 days a week with her father.
  
  My days with her are Monday nights, Tuesdays, every other Wednesday, and Saturdays. I’d like someone who can help with daycare pickup / childcare, and cooking dinner on those weekdays in particular, as well as cooking ahead for Saturday. The other days could be minor things like cleaning or doing other tasks to help out, or dinner if we are both home. I am looking for someone who can help out 3-5 hours per day, with 2 days off (Saturdays and Sundays, but could also be Thursdays/Fridays).
  
  If we take a short weekend trip, you could come along and we could discuss expense sharing.
  
  Food would be included. if you could help with meal planning and keeping food costs low that would be a bonus. My daughter is a fairly picky eater so we’d need to discuss how to approach cooking in a way that works for everyone.
  
  My daughter is an early, early riser. Very rarely 4:30am, but usually 5:30-6:30am. She is not quiet in the mornings and our space is small. She sleeps at 8:30pm. I’d be looking for someone who is also an early riser, or who is ok wearing earplugs so she doesn’t wake you up.

  Acomodação

  I live in a two-bedroom apartment that is about 785 sq ft with a private balcony.
  
  You would have your own room, with your own controlled heating. I’d need to access the closet occasionally, which has kid stuff in it. My daughter shares my room. There is one bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and washer/dryer. I have a microwave and an espresso maker, fridge, toaster, stove. The apartment is bright, quiet, and inviting, looking on to a quiet alley. The apartment is in a sought-after urban location with no shortage of things to do and places to see.
  
  My daughter wakes up very early and she can be loud when she wakes up (anywhere from 4:30am - 6:30am, but usually 5:30am). It doesn’t look like she can change her internal clock, so you’d either need to be an early sleeper and riser, be comfortable wearing earplugs to bed, or just not someone who is easily woken up by others.

  Algo mais...

  In winter I am pretty quiet and go to bed early. Since the space is small and there's a child here, I'd expect others who live here to prioritize the needs of the child for safety, rest, and a regular schedule.
