Early Childhood Educator Job in Toronto, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
I am a single parent seeking a caregiver to assist me in the care and education of my three children: an 11 year old son, and 9 and 4 year old daughters. The two older children both have challenges in the realm of verbal expression and physical skills. These challenges are being addressed through an intensive customized education program that includes sensory integration, physical skill development, life skills, communication and independence. They are loving, sweet children, full of spirit and humor with no behavioral problems . The ideal candidate will work in the capacity of assisting all three kids on weekends in the evenings to prepare for bed and in the morning when they wake up (kids aren’t fully independent). Creative problem solving, organizational skills, and being neat and clean, are all necessary requirements. This is a uniquely rewarding opportunity for the right candidate and it is a fun environment. There is much gratification from working with the kids and as part of a team. The job would entail supporting the children at home in self-help skills and home chores and supporting them in and various community and sports programs on Sunday afternoon. Experience working with kids with special needs is an asset. Most important, the ideal candidate will be a warm, patient, sensitive, caring person who loves children, has a sense of humor, and is professional with a strong work ethic. Must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and must be amenable to standard background check, including medical assessment (e.g., vaccines up to date, tuberculosis test records up to date). Basic life support training is required either in advance or after hire. References will be required. This could be both a full week live-in position for after hours (allowing the candidate to do other things during the day), or just a weekend live-in position to assist the mother who works and often travels for work. Room and board in a nice home would be free. Location is in Toronto at Yonge and Lawrence area. Position is available in August/September though could start earlier. A long term commitment is sought under the right circumstances. Ideal position for a student or someone with another part-time job.
