A little bit about us
About us: My mother lives with us and runs our home — she's wonderful, and the right person here will work alongside her, taking direction from her with warmth and respect. We're a Filipino-Canadian household with a loving, easy vibe. Our kids are bright, kind, and easy to be around. Family is everything to us, and the person who joins us becomes part of how we hold things together.
The role:
Morning (~1.5 hrs): home pickup, drive the kids to school, drop off
Afternoon (~2–2.5 hrs): school pickup, drive home, help with snack, light tidying related to the kids (their lunch dishes, putting away shoes and coats, that kind of thing), and whatever my mother needs help with that day
Summer: same shape, but to and from day camp
Total: ~20 hrs/week, school days only
Who we're looking for:
Own reliable car, clean driving record, comfortable driving kids
Calm, patient, warm energy — our daughter is sensitive and thrives with steady, gentle adults
Happy taking direction from my mother (she's the heart of our home)
Vulnerable sector check, references
Comfortable with a split-shift schedule — could be a great fit if you're a student with daytime classes, a parent with school-age kids of your own, or semi-retired looking for structured part-time hours

- What are the children's activities and routines?
- Is dinner or light housekeeping part of the job?
