PROFESSIONAL NANNIES

Professional nannies serve as primary caregivers to children and have varying degrees of training. Professional nannies typically have the Canada Early Childhood Degree, British National Nursery Exam Board training, or other certification from their home countries.

The responsibilities of professional nannies include ensuring that all physical and emotional needs of the child are met, organizing educational activities, preparing meals, and making sure the child’s living quarters are tidy. In most cases, professional nannies are not responsible for general housekeeping.

Professional nannies are employed for both live-in and live-out positions. Salaries vary depending on level of education and work experience, though a salary range from $1300 to $1800 net per month is typical for live-in positions in the Greater Toronto Area. Live-out nannies can expect to earn from $2100 to $2500 net per month.
