About the Children:
The family has two sweet and energetic boys who thrive in a calm, supportive environment:
- 6.5 year old – A gentle, creative soul who loves drawing, building, and spending time in nature. He’s naturally curious and enjoys understanding how things work. He benefits from self directed downtime and appreciates validation when he’s upset. While not diagnosed with additional needs, he’s a highly sensitive child who connects best with low key, grounded personalities. The family keeps an EpiPen on hand as a precaution following a past ant bite reaction (no recurrences). They also avoid carbs after 3pm due to sleep sensitivities.
- Almost 4 year old – An active, joyful little brother who adores blocks, dancing, drawing, and everything his big brother is doing. He loves ball sports and thrives outdoors.
Ideal Candidate:
This role suits someone who:
- Is warm, grounded, and takes a calm, responsive approach to children
- Has solid initiative and notices what needs doing
- Is happy to work in a slightly “rustic” home on a rural property
- Enjoys being helpful around the home as much as with the kids
- Can commit to the outlined schedule, with flexibility to take on extra hours during peak periods (with notice)
- Brings a genuine, no fuss attitude and a willingness to become part of the family’s rhythm
Application Details:
Interested individuals who meet ALL of the above criteria and can provide consistent, high quality care are encouraged to apply. The family seeks someone who will seamlessly integrate into their home and support their child's growth and development.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with the family and The Care Collective Team via Microsoft Teams.
