Job description

We’re a Black family in Toronto looking for a part-time nanny to support our vibrant 5-year-old son, starting in July. Our schedules change often due to our work as artists. Some weeks we may need just 1–2 days; during work projects, we may need full-time support for 2–12 weeks, including occasional overnights or international travel. Flexibility is key. What we’re looking for :

• CPR and First Aid certified
• Clear background check
• Valid driver’s license (bonus if you have your own car)
• Experience in childcare; Montessori or early learning background a plus
• Familiarity with conscious, respectful, punishment-free parenting (formal or informal)
• Strong communication and emotional intelligence
• Cultural sensitivity, especially in working with Black families
• Comfort with light housekeeping, meal prep, and grocery runs
• Ability to support playful, curiosity-driven learning—especially in math, movement, and creativity.
• Music-loving and outdoor-friendly is a big bonus! You won’t be homeschooling, but we’d love someone who naturally supports learning through play, nature, and rhythm. He’s active, musical, loves to build, and thrives in warm, consistent care. Pick-up and drop-off may be required during project periods. If we’re not working, we’ll usually handle that ourselves. Some days may involve backup care or on-call availability, depending on our schedules. What to send us :
• A short bio with a picture
• Your resume
• 3 references
• A paragraph on why you’re drawn to working with our family
• A short note about your understanding of conscious or Montessori-style parenting (formal training not required—we just want to hear your take) Interview Process : Step 1 – 30–45 min interview (in-person) We’ll talk about :
• Your availability and flexibility
• Your approach to discipline and emotional regulation
• How you handle transitions and unpredictable days
• Experience with travel, overnights, or working with artists / freelance families a bonus
• Your comfort with our family’s cultural and spiritual energy Step 2 – Trial day or half-day (paid) You’ll interact with our son while we’re nearby. We’ll observe :
• How he responds to your presence
• Whether he follows your lead or resists your direction
• Whether he feels emotionally regulated in your care Step 3 – Debrief We’ll check in with him. We’ll check in with ourselves. And we’ll check in with you. We offer $40 / hour to start, with room to discuss based on experience and responsibilities. If this feels like a fit, we’d love to hear from you.
