The Full-Time Nanny role in the Don Mills & York Mills area of North York is a premium “Early Development” position for a private household. You will be the primary caregiver for a 14-month-old girl, acting as a developmental partner for parents who work from home.

Job Details

Location: York Mills Rd & Don Mills Rd area, Toronto, ON.
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (35 hours/week).
Compensation: Up to $25.00 per hour (Experience dependent).
Status: Full-time, Live-out.
Bonus: Potential for one weekend “date night” per month.

Key Responsibilities: The Toddler Development Cycle

At 14 months, a child is transitioning from infancy to active toddlerhood, requiring a shift toward sensory exploration and physical coordination.

Developmental Programming: Plan and lead activities such as sensory play, reading, and outdoor time to support rapid cognitive growth.
Nutritional Support: Prepare and serve healthy lunches, ensuring the high chair and eating area are sanitized afterward.
Routine Management: Maintain a consistent nap schedule and monitor rest periods to ensure the child is well-rested for afternoon engagement.
Environment Stewardship: Tidy and organize the playroom and child-related areas, ensuring a “clutter-free” safety zone.
Canine Interaction: Provide a safe environment for both the toddler and the family’s 5-year-old Golden Retriever.

Candidate Profile & Qualifications

The “Educator Nanny”: ECE Certification is required, reflecting a deep understanding of early childhood pedagogy.
Seasoned Expert: Preferred 5+ years of childcare experience, specifically with the “one-year-old” age bracket.
Safety Wit: Current CPR and First Aid certification is mandatory.
Operational Grit: A dependable, patient, and non-smoking professional who can manage a full-time weekday schedule.
Pet Comfort: Must be genuinely comfortable with large, friendly dogs.

Technical Insights: The 14-Month Milestone

Caring for a toddler at this stage involves “Scaffolding”—supporting them as they reach for new physical and linguistic goals.

Gross Motor Skills: You will facilitate “Cruising” and early walking, ensuring the environment is safely “baby-proofed” for a mobile toddler.
Sensory Play: At this age, “Parallel Play” and tactile exploration (water play, finger painting) are essential for brain development.
The WFH Dynamic: Because the parents work from home, you must be a “low-friction” presence—capable of managing the child’s needs independently to avoid interrupting the parents’ professional focus.

Why Join This North York Family?

The York Mills & Don Mills area is one of Toronto’s most desirable residential pockets, offering excellent outdoor resources.

Premium Neighborhood: Access to local parks and quiet residential streets makes for high-quality “outdoor time.”
Work-Life Balance: The 4:00 PM finish is rare in the nanny world, allowing you to beat the evening rush and have your evenings entirely free.
Competitive Compensation: A rate of $25/hr for a single-child placement is at the top tier of the Toronto market.
Stable Environment: As both parents work from home, there is a high level of transparency and support available within the household.
