About The Job

Job details: Casual Babysitting
$35 per hour

dad looking for an energetic, reliable, and nurturing caregiver to team up with me as I transition into solo parenting and help me find my footing. I have two beautiful, young daughters (3 years old and 16 months old).

This is a collaborative role—I will be there and fully involved. I am not looking to hand the kids over and walk away; I need someone trusted to help me with the busiest parts of our day so both girls get the attention they need.

Key Responsibilities:

The Afternoon/Night Routine: Helping navigate the dinner prep, bath time, and splitting bedtime duties (e.g., settling the toddler while I put the baby down, or vice versa).

The Morning Routine: Arriving early to help get both girls fed, dressed, and packed up ready for daycare.

• Outings & Activities: Accompanying us on occasional weekend or afternoon trips to the park, play centres, or activities to make managing two under three much smoother.

• Light Help: Basic tidying up after meals or clearing up toys with the girls.

Hours & Flexibility:

• Part-time: Up to 3 days per week (flexible on which days, but will include some weekdays and potentially a weekend day).

• Split Shifts/Hours: Ideally looking for someone who can do an afternoon/evening block (e.g., 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM) and/or an early morning block (e.g., 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM).

• On-Call / Flexibility: High preference for someone with a flexible schedule who is open to occasional on-call help or schedule adjustments as we find our rhythm.

Ideal Candidate:

• Experienced with toddlers and babies (experience with multiple young children at once is a huge plus).

• Calm under pressure, proactive, and happy to work collaboratively alongside a parent.

• Must have a current Working with Children Check (WWCC) and First Aid/CPR training.

• Reliable transport is essential.

If you are a warm, capable person who loves working with young kids and wants to help a dad build a smooth, happy routine for his girls, please get in touch!
