Hi there! Welcome to Ottawa/Gatineau.
I live in a large home with a big backyard with a hot tub, pool, and lots of amenities nearby. It's a very safe neighborhood and perfect for walking, running, biking, etc. I am recently separated from my husband, who has moved out of the house and has not been very involved, so I am looking for an Au Pair to help with basic tidying, cooking, cleaning around the house and helping to keep my toddler entertained. I am also currently 6 months pregnant (due in June) and looking for some help with the newborn as well when she is born. I am currently struggling to get things done around the house myself (standing for long periods to cook dinners, cleaning the cat litter, heavy cleaning) and could use some help with that. Overall, we have a very well-mannered toddler who has a very good routine at home. I use gentle parenting and Montessori methods at the house, so you should be familiar with those (or be open to learn). We have 2 cats at the house who are both very friendly. At our home, we either have a decent sized finished basement that would be yours to call home or a fully finished walk up attic. Unfortunately there is only 1 bath/shower which you would be sharing.
