Description
Hi there! We are Olivia and Connor. We live in Toronto with our four kids who are 5, 3 and 1 year old twins.
We own a small contracting company with our family.
We are looking for help! Join our little crew for about 12qtweeks this summer while our two bigger ones are out of school. We are a fun loving, busy family and we love day trips to the zoo and beach but are also equally happy playing in our backyard. Ideally we would find a young couple as we would like for them to have companionship in the evenings and to explore the big city on off hours. There is plenty to do, help with the kids for one, but the other could help on some home projects.
We are happy to offer fun and private accommodation close to our home at our small loft. Olivia loves to drive so a license is not required.
Weekends are often spent at our family farm a couple of hours from Toronto.
Hours are flexible, but will be either 5 hours a day or slightly longer days 2-3 days a week.
We are looking for someone with childcare experience. Our eldest boy is incredibly bright and creative, our youngest son is a true adventurer (climbs everything) and our twin girls pretty much just hang with mama - but love an extra set of cuddling arms!
We need help ASAP! Starting May 10th ideally for longer stays.

NOTES:
This is a drug free family. The use of any drugs will not be tolerated.
We have an extra car and would love to help our workaways plan a few trips within driving distance of Toronto, or perhaps a weekend in Montreal or Quebec! We will do whatever we can to make the experience valuable and memorable for our new friends.
We often spend weekends at our family farm in Niagara and our workaways would be welcome to join us to experience the Niagara region and all it's beauty.
