We are so excited because my husband just got a big promotion, but it means we have some late work dinners and really need to find reliable night-time babysitting help here in Ottawa.
We have two sweet kids, a 4-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, and we are looking for someone to come to our place in the Glebe area, near Bank Street, usually on a Friday or Saturday night, maybe twice a month.
The typical shift would be from about 6:30 PM until midnight, maybe a bit later depending on traffic and the evening's plans.
We are looking for someone who can manage dinner prep (simple stuff like mac and cheese or pre-made meals), handle bath time and the bedtime routine, and then just chill on the couch while the kids sleep.
I'm a first-time user on this platform and I'm a little nervous about finding the right person, but we are a very easy-going family.
You'd need to make sure the kids are tucked in securely and that any toys used are tidied up before we get home.
Since we are in an older condo building, access is via a lockbox and then an elevator to our floor; I will explain it all clearly during a short video call first.
The weather in Ottawa right now is really unpredictable, so we definitely need someone who is fine with winter conditions and is good at keeping our apartment safe and cozy.
Thank you so much for considering helping our family!
