Salary For A Live-In Nanny (Caregiver)
Posted by admin on 05 Feb 2008 at 10:44 am | Tagged as: Live-In Nanny Salary
The salary range for nannies / caregivers has grown considerably in the last year due to higher demand for childcare / senior care.
As the economy grows, the demand for workers grows in all sectors and caregivers are no different than any.
The minimum wage set by the provincial government in B.C. has not changed in the last few years ($8 per hour), so it is quite rare to find good experienced nannies/caregivers accepting this rate.
Only a few recent arrivals to Canada, with no previous experience, are willing to work (as live-in) at this rate and their numbers are dwindling daily.
Do you have more questions? Visit our Forum: CAREGIVERS in CANADA.
Since the market place is the main factor deciding salaries, you have to consider a more attractive compensation package for your nanny, if you want to engage a good care provider.
Beyond the hourly rate paid, you may have to consider some additional benefits like medical/dental insurance, covering transportation costs, extra holidays and others.
Be prepared to negotiate if you want the best care available for you loved ones.

I’m looking at this website as I need someone to help with my mother (83), who needs companionship and help with publishing some of her books (in Canada)… It’s a different skill set than looking after children, but could be fun for the right person. This note is to Zoe – Vancouver area horticulture might be fun for you, and it is likely you could find some part time work!
I am looking for a Philiphino caregiver to take care of my 5 to 6 residents in my Personal Care Home. You need to speack english, to cook, clean and to have lots of passions with my residents, also a very nice sense of humor.
Hi, I am 34yrs old from Philippines and very interested to work in Canada as full time nanny and DH.
I am a loving mother of two kids, I am a secondary teacher here and decided to resigned after 10yrs because I want best for my kids and my salary is not worth for my service. I am a very hardworking person who is not cared for the time for working but really cared for good performance and service, I want to see satisfaction from my superior all the time. I make sure that if ever you give me chance to work with your family then you will not look for other to work for you.
Please free to email me if these sounds interested for you.
Hi, I am 26, Australian, single, mature, and would love to come to Canada. I have been doing horticulture for just over 10 years. It will be hard to get a job in Horticulture because I am only familiar with Australian plants, therefore I would not be of any assistance to the industry in Canada.
I know I would be good at being a caregiver. I have no experience or qualifications in this profession. But I am a homely person. Love cooking and gardening.
I am just inquiring to see if it is worth me trying to get a job as a caregiver in Canada? If not, the UK seems to take people that have no experience, but my preference would be Canada.
Any information or assistance with be appreciated.
Zoe

Hello,
I am just getting ready to apply for nanny positions when I saw your notice. I would like to take the next step in this application process. I am very interested in this position and, if you do not mind, would like to ask you for some additional information. Is this a live in position and are you located in Vancouver?
Some information about me. I am forty-four years old. I have raised my two children and have taken care of elderly father for many years, hosted children for long periods from northern Manitoba, Sri Lanka and France. I have organized art workshops with children and local artists. I have volunteered in schools in Canada and Brazil. I am calm and soft spoken. I am very interested in the ideas of Maria Montessori and Rudolph Steiner in terms of education.
I hav also volunteered my time on organic farms, as a landscaper and have worked part time for a number of years in a greenhouse ( I can provide you with references). I think that the mixture of jobs would be ideal for me as it would give me the opportunity for physical work and a rewarding caregiving experience with children.Thank you for allowing me to offer this rather long winded explanation! I look forward to heaarng from you.
