PART-TIME NANNY- We’re a warm single-parent family looking for part-time care for our 9-year-old daughter in Abbotsford- daytime and evening hours, with overnight stays as an option for anyone interested. We’re glad to hire more than one person. How it starts: Occasional weekday afternoons and weekend daytime or evening hours. This alone is a great fit for many people, and we’re happy to keep it that way long-term. If you’re interested in more, there’s the option to take on overnight stays once we all know each other well – typically after 4–8 weeks. Overnights average six nights a month, usually as two three-night stays, and involve sole overnight care including bedtime and school-morning routines. Hours shift month to month, so we’re glad to work around a school timetable or another part-time job. Duties include supervision, meal prep, driving for school pickup or extracurriculars, and a calm, caring presence. What we’re looking for: reliable vehicle, valid driver’s licence, and clean driving record. First Aid/CPR certification, or willingness to get it (we’ll cover the cost). Some experience with kids – babysitting, camp, coaching, tutoring, or younger siblings all count. Two references, personal or professional. Non-smoker and non-vaper. We’re happy to support someone earlier in their caregiving career. We offer paid trial shifts, a schedule confirmed in advance, and we’re always reachable by phone. Compensation: $19–22/hour depending on experience. Overnight stays, if you take them on, are paid at a flat rate per stay. A self-contained suite is available to rent below market rate for the right long-term fit. Send a short intro with your experience and availability to nikol.house.d@gmail.com. (09/11)

NANNY WANTED (P/T)- We are looking for a loving, reliable, and experienced nanny to care for our two children, ages 3 and 1, starting in November. We are looking for someone who has previous nanny/childcare experience, is Christian and comfortable incorporating our faith and values into our home, has First Aid certification, or is willing to obtain it, is warm, patient, responsible, genuinely enjoys spending time with young children, and is comfortable caring for two children of different ages. This is a part-time position with a rotating schedule, as I work shift work. The schedule varies, but I receive my work schedule well in advance and would be able to provide the nanny with their schedule well ahead of time. Pay is negotiable based on experience. We’re hoping to find someone who can become a trusted and consistent part of our family and provide a fun, loving, and safe environment for our kids. If interested, please email Megan at meganjnickel@gmail.com. (08/28)

DOG WALKING- Do you have a dog? I love dogs. Does your dog need walking? I also love walking. I’m offering dog walking in downtown Abbotsford for anyone whose dog has more energy than they do, needs a midday adventure, or simply stares out the window like they’re serving 20 to life. What I can offer you: walks around downtown Abbotsford’s parks, sidewalks, and trails; one-on-one attention (unless you’ve got a pack, then I’ll affix them to a sled and mush to Banter); responsible, energetic, and attentive care; absolutely zero judgment if your dog has a weird name (looking at you, Megatron the cocker spaniel). I get to walk around town with dogs. Your dog gets to go outside. You get some free time. Feel free to reach out to me by email at alexsvarez@gmail.com for availability and rates. (09/11)

1 BDRM WANTED- I’m a working professional looking for a one bedroom, one bathroom place for myself and my well-behaved indoor cat. I’m looking for a long-term home and I would be a quiet and reliable tenant. If you see this and are looking for a female roommate, I’d be open to that too. Text me at 604-832-9228. (09/04)

HOUSING NEEDED- My roommate is moving, and my landlord is using it as the perfect excuse to sell the house earlier than they planned. I’ve lived here for 5 years, always paid rent on time or early and treated the place with respect. My landlord said he’d be a good reference for me. I’m a Christian, attend Pathway Church and I love Jesus. I’m also partially handicapped; I walk with a cane. I need somewhere accessible for me, with the neighborhood terrain accessible as well. And within a couple hundred metres of a bus stop. I also need enough space for my physiotherapy equipment and to do my exercises. I’m looking for a place in Abbotsford. My budget is $700-$800/month. If I could find a large room in a large place with some other Christian men, that would be ideal. I doubt I’d find a bachelor suite for that price, but I wouldn’t say no if the opportunity presented itself. If you know of something, please contact me at 778-957-8896 or mccalljacali@gmail.com.

We would pick him up from school on Friday afternoons, bring him home for the weekends, and then drop him back at school on Monday mornings. As he needs to have an address in the W.J. Mouat catchment area, we are looking for a place that meets that criteria (W.J. Mouat Catchment Map). Please contact Nicola Freebairn at 604-226-7123 or by email at nmfreebairn@gmail.com. (08/28)
