Job Description

Are you a morning person with a passion for helping children thrive? A Calgary family is in urgent need of a devoted and reliable Nanny to support their 9-year-old during the most critical parts of the day. This live-out position is ideal for a professional who enjoys the “split-shift” lifestyle, leaving the middle of your day free while securing a consistent 20 to 30 hours of work per week.

Your day will begin early, helping an elementary-schooler start their morning on a positive note. From 6:00 am until the school bell beckons at 8:15 am, you will be the calming presence that ensures breakfast is eaten and the backpack is packed. After the school day ends, you’ll return at 4:00 pm to lead the afternoon and evening festivities. This isn’t just about watching the clock; the family is looking for a “knack” for making homework, play, and dinner feel lively and educational.

In addition to childcare, you will act as a helping hand within the home. By keeping the kitchen tidy and managing light housekeeping tasks, you allow the family to focus on quality time when they return. Because no driving is required, this role is accessible to anyone in the Calgary area with reliable personal transit to and from the home.

If you are a patient, responsible caregiver who can commit to an immediate start and a consistent Monday-through-Friday schedule, this role offers a competitive wage and the chance to become a meaningful part of a young student’s daily success.
