Do you really want the lowest bidding placement agency to provide you with a nanny for your child?

BENEFITS OF LIVE-IN HELP: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) allows you to write off a maximum of $7,000 from the taxable income of the lower income earner per year for each child who is under 7 years of age. For your children age 7 years and older up to 16 years of age, you may deduct a maximum of $4,000 per year for each child from your taxable income. If you have a child with an eligible disability you may deduct a maximum of $10,000 per year for each child. In addition to the deductions allowed by the CRA, you may not be aware that the Nanny will also pay you room and board ($81.25 per week BC only).

Finder’s fees for live-in caregivers vary; some agencies charge nothing, while others charge up to $3,000. But beware: If you’re not paying a fee, chances are the nanny is picking up the bill — That means that the client is the caregiver and NOT you. In most cases the Canadian family is taken advantage of as the caregivers are paying the agency to do everything possible to bring them to Canada. Ask a firm why they’re not charging you a fee and decide whether you are comfortable with the answer.
