Nanny Services
Web: www.nannyservices.ca
If you are interested in hiring a Nanny, this website will be a great search tool. Here you will be able to search for child care providers and caregivers within your area looking for employment in child care, elder care, home care and much more.
It is extremely important that you interview any child care providers and is highly recommended that you ask for a criminal reference check. Please note: If you are hiring a Nanny, please keep in mind that you will act as an employer and need to find out all the tax and legal implications that go a long with that.
