Nanny / housekeeper positions are typically filled by individuals that have been working abroad as domestic helpers. A nanny / housekeeper must be sponsored by a family to work as their caregiver in order to qualify for residency in Canada under the ‘Live-in Caregiver Program.’ All live-in caregivers must commit to a renewable contract of twelve months.

Responsibilities of a nanny / housekeeper include childcare, light or general housekeeping, cooking and laundry. Nanny / housekeepers are available for both live-in and live-out positions, and salaries vary according to experience.
