WHO WE ARE:
Canada Atlantic Caregiving Solutions is a consulting and in home placement agency specializing in providing quality home care solutions and support for Canadian families. Our goal is to help and locate qualified and experienced caregivers to work with Canadian families.
OUR OFFERING:
We offer a free detailed online database of potential caregivers profiles, Caregiver Profiles, for viewing at your convenience. The caregivers are individuals who are qualified to work without supervision in a private household providing care for babies, toddlers, older children, elderly persons or people who have disabilities. All of our caregivers are screened and have background checks for your added safety and peace of mind. Please fill in the nanny or senior application forms if you would like to hire one of the caregivers or would like some help with choosing one. We have one of the most economical, if not the most economical, agency fee in Canada. Please contact us to ask about our fee plan.
ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A SENIOR CAREGIVER OR NANNY:
There are many advantages to having a Caregiver or Nanny, such as:
- More flexible scheduling!
- Less transfer of sickness (colds, flu's, etc.)!
- Childcare expenses are an allowable tax deduction(s). Please be advised that tax deductions can always change, therefore check with Canada Revenue, your bookkeeper or accountant for the up-to-date allowable child care tax deduction(s).
- In the case of live in caregivers, you are able to deduct room and board!!
- With one on one care with the children, the nanny bonds with the children very quickly.
- More controlled and safe environment for children and seniors!
- Minimum care in a nursing facility vs. total care for the senior at home!
- Improved quality of life and possibly more rewarding longevity for seniors as they are more comfortable and happy at home in familiar surroundings!
- Built-in sitter (many caregivers can make themselves available)!
HIRING PROCESS:
After viewing the caregivers' profile and having found a potential candidate for your family, please contact us for more information and to arrange for a telephone interview. When a caregiver is found to your satisfaction, the hiring process can start. In the case of foreign caregivers and nannies, this process could take several weeks to months, or less, depending on the country of origin.
EMPLOYER'S RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO A LIVE-IN CAREGIVER:
You must provide acceptable working conditions, reasonable duties and fair market wages. You must also provide accommodation that ensures privacy, such as a private room with a lock on the door. Your caregiver pays rent for a room in your home and is entitled to privacy. You should not enter the caregiver's room without permission. You should provide your employee with a key to the house to ensure freedom of access. Your house is your employee's home as well as his or her place of work. You should respect the caregiver's cultural or religious practices and discuss his or her needs. A live-in caregiver is protected by employment standards legislation in most provinces and territories. Live-in employees are entitled to days off each week, statutory holidays, extra pay for overtime work and a salary that is consistent with the provincial wage rate of the employment.
EMPLOYER'S RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO A LIVE-OUT CAREGIVER:
