Sitter in Vancouver, British Columbia

Hi Vancouver Parents 👋 Do you need a date night? Or a temporary set of extra hands? I'm an experienced 28-year-old professional interested in casual, as-needed childcare opportunities. I'm looking for something unique where I can have the option to bring my large 9-yr old dog, Summit with me. She has severe attachment issues but, is very friendly and loves children with her whole heart! We could be perfect for a family that wants to expose their kids to pets but doesn't have any at home. We are located in Olympic Village and looking for families who live nearby that need a little extra help. I work an online, remote job that allows a lot of flexibility in my schedule but, not a lot of movement. I miss the laughter and joy kids bring to whatever they do and being "kept on my toes". I do have a car if needed but prefer to be within walking or biking distance of the family. I'm an active person who doesn't enjoy being bound to my desk as much as I have been, so for 2023 I'm looking for a chance of pace by providing care in my home for last-minute requests or with advance notice can provide care in your home. If you prefer me to care for your children, without Summit in your home, I can coordinate with my partner anytime after 4:30 pm to be dog-free. I would like to offer my services to parents in unique situations who might not be able to otherwise find someone. If you are on a waitlist for a daycare, need help with a birthday party or corporate event, or need to run an important errand without your kid, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I have always worked with children in various roles starting as young as when I was able to take the babysitter course at the age of 12. I had numerous casual childcare positions throughout middle school, high school, university, and abroad as an au pair. I genuinely love children! After professionally nannying for 4.5yrs I have remained a casual sitter for many families I have worked for and some new ones. I have extensive experience with newborns - teenagers and have also worked as a travel nanny for several families in the past too. You can expect me to keep your house clean and tidy and to pick up and clean after the kids and our day together. I don't mind pitching in above and beyond ethier but please communicate your expectations clearly when you message me so I can quote you appropriately. I have up-to-date first aid and CPR certification. I have experience with autism, addictions, trauma, and high-risk youth as well from my work as a Registered Social Worker. Please send me a message if you think we might be a fit to work together. Happy New Year! 🥰🐶🥳
