We are looking for a fun, patient, and trustworthy individual to spend time with our energetic and curious child, providing engaging activities and giving both him and our family a healthy break.

• Being an encouraging, calm presence

About Him:

• Very active and loves being outside

• Plays hockey

• Fascinated by the Titanic (can share a lot of detailed knowledge!)

• Loves cooking and helping in the kitchen

• Big on imaginary play and storytelling

• Enjoys construction equipment (especially excavators)

• Loves water-based activities

• Does well with other people and in public settings

• Transitions can be challenging, so creativity and strategy are important when it’s time to leave activities

What Works Best:

• Clear expectations, patience, and flexibility

• Someone who enjoys staying active and engaged

Ideal Candidate:

• Flexible, patient, and dependable
