Placement

Working in Canada can mean you have a lot of opportunities to learn, earn money, and have a great time. Working in Canada starts with one simple act – the placement.

Placing our caregivers with host families is one of the most time-intensive parts of our process, as our recruiters and placement officers work together to do three things:
            1. Find the family that needs you
            2. Make sure they are compatible (i.e.: want you, too!)
            3. Make sure that they are right for you

This means we digitally match requirements and then work on the human side – making sure this is a placement that everyone wants. In the end, our goal is not just to take care of a need, but join a family and a nanny together that will like working and living together. So many kids love the nannies we send to their homes, but when families and caregivers are happy, too, then everyone wins.

We help take all of the stress out of the placement. All we ask of you is that you help us build the strongest file we can to show you off to our host families. When you submit your references and pictures, our Processing Department will take the components, and create your collages, referee list, and profile pages so that our nannies have the best profiles families will see. We also do all the paperwork with our Canadian host families to make sure that once you have agreed on a job, you will get all the papers you need to get your work visa without having to write your own contracts.

Once you are in Canada, we stand behind all of our caregivers and will support you with a new placement, if anything goes wrong, as well as our support services.

Placement Tips

Make sure that when you apply, you are as thorough as possible. If you have looked after a 1 year-old for a few weeks, don’t forget to list you ‘under 24 months old’ experience on the Application Form.

Are you allergic to pets or dust? Don’t count yourself out of a placement by scaring away your host family. If you can take a decongestant and feel fine, make sure you let us know on your application or by email.

Remember your target. Eventually, these documents will be used to create the profiles we share with our host families. If you have a skill you think a family would be interested, write it down. Families want to know about you as a person, too. Talk about the sports and games you play a little.
