Is your kid fully potty trained and what area are you in?

Just wears a diaper when he sleeps. I live by Westhills

I can do it if you are okay with male nannies? (aka manny)

My aunt and uncle sponsored a live-in nanny from the Phillipines back in the day. Might be pricey but it seemed to work well for them. I'm sure there's a placement agency in Calgary for them.

Beware. We tried that route a while ago and the nanny quit a month after getting here . She basically used us to get her ticket into Canada.

Wouldn't there be something that would keep them from doing exactly that? Doesn't seem worth the effort if there isn't. :dunno:

[frozenrice]

Most of the time, they have no one to turn to. Unfortunately for us, she already had an "Aunt" that lives here in Calgary. I wouldn't be surprised if her aunt coached her and found a new job for her. :dunno:

It's the agencies problem now. Needless to say we got our money back from them.

You can also try websites like canadiansitter. Although I think some of them you need to pay to register, they provide a huge database of babysitters.

go to canadiananny.ca...I believe you have to pay a monthly fee, my fiance was a nanny for 4 years and was a member on the site...but be prepared to be paying about $16-$18 as an hourly wage, thats the going rate for a day time nanny anyways.

Check out the live-in caregiver program. The rules and regulations are all stated on there. It will cost you approximately $1400-$1500 out of pocket per month. I think their current salary is $1750 per month but you can deduct $320 for room and board. They work 44 hours per week before you need to pay overtime so you can allocate those hours based on your working conditions.

Phillipine nannies are great, good people but I would suggest finding one that has worked in HK so they know what real work is like and are not "spoiled" by the conditions here in Canada. If you sponsor one here, they MUST remain in the live-in caregiver for at least 2 years and cannot be unemployed for more than 3 months or their work visa will expire and be deported.

Besides caregiving duties, they can cook, light cleaning, laundry, etc. No landscaping or other heavier jobs unless they agree. They are expensive if you only have 1 child and compare with daycare. Once you hit 2+ though it's definitely something to consider.

Some of the benefits are you don't have to drop kids off, they won't always be sick from a day home or day care, dinner is ready and no after dinner cleanup.

Anyways, lots of factors to consider when you're looking at child care options. Hope this helps.

PS, although I have been through this and had a wonderful experience, the info presented here is not warranted so don't flame me if I'm off a little.

Anyone know how long it takes to setup and get a live-in? Also is it a requirement that there are young children in the house as in I just bring one over to cook and clean?
