Wanted: live-in nanny and household support in North Toronto

We are a North Toronto family looking for an experienced, caring and reliable live-in nanny for our nine-month-old baby and four-year-old child. We are seeking a long-term arrangement, starting as soon as mutually agreed after checks.

Responsibilities

– Provide attentive day-to-day infant care, including feeding, preparing baby food, diaper changes, age-appropriate play and helping the baby settle for naps in line with our agreed routine.
– Occasionally walk our older child to or from school. No driving is required.
– Play with our older child, read together and provide warm, patient supervision.
– Help with family laundry, including washing, folding and putting clothes away.
– Mop agreed household floors, tidy shared spaces and help organize household items.
– Communicate clearly with us and follow the agreed care and household routines.

Childcare and safe supervision are the priority. The cleaning scope and frequency will be agreed in advance and fitted around the children’s care needs.

Experience and qualities

– Relevant experience caring for babies under one year and preschool-aged children, ideally together in the same household.
– Experience working as a nanny or domestic helper in Hong Kong would be an asset.
– A calm, patient, dependable approach and willingness to work closely with parents.
– Current first aid and infant/child CPR.
– Two relevant employer references and willingness to complete agreed checks.
– Legal authorization to perform this childcare work for our family in Canada.
– Genuine interest in a live-in role and a clear understanding of shared household arrangements.

Schedule and terms

– Schedule: 40 paid hours per week, Monday to Friday, with exact daily hours agreed in advance. Any occasional weekend work would be discussed and agreed separately.
– Pay: negotiable, based on relevant experience and agreed duties.
– Accommodation: a private bedroom and meals are provided. Bathroom arrangements, privacy and household access will be discussed before starting.
– Start: as soon as mutually agreed after references, work-authorization verification and agreed checks.

Paid trial week

We plan to begin with a one-week paid trial at the agreed regular hourly rate. This gives both sides time to learn the routines and assess how the arrangement is working, with a review at the end of the week. Dates, working hours, duties and living arrangements will be agreed in writing before starting.
