I am trying to expand my small business making custom art prints, and I need dedicated, consistent time this summer to get orders finished, so I'm looking for a weekend sitter for my two daughters, aged 5 and 9.
Read two chapters from their current book.
Handle any minor sibling disagreements calmly.
My biggest focus is making sure they stay safe and happy while I'm locked away in my home office getting work done.
This would be a repeating job, every other Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM, starting in a couple of weeks at our apartment in Mount Pleasant, near the Main Street Skytrain station.
This task is perfect for new immigrants in Vancouver who are looking for reliable hours and maybe don't have perfect English, as my kids are bilingual anyway and very patient.
The kids are pretty easygoing; they love drawing, playing board games, and going to the small park down the street if the typical Vancouver rain holds off for a bit.
You'd be asked to supervise playtime, prepare a simple lunch (sandwiches or soup), and make sure they clean up their own craft messes.
Supervise outdoor play at the nearby park.
