How'd you find it, would you do it again?
By this fall the wife and I will have 3 kids under the age of 5. My wife would like to get back to work at some point. Looking at the numbers, with 3 kids a nanny is the more affordable option than daycare for three kids. But, not by an overwhelming amount.
Wife and I had mentioned it in passing before, but hadn't really looked into it. Then I was talking with my brother (whose wedding in Brazil we were at a month ago) said that his wife's cousin had talked to him about maybe coming to Canada.
Now we met this cousin at the wedding. Her English was certainly passable, and what made me remember her is she spent a fair bit of time playing with Timmy. And Timmy apparently liked her because he remembered her name (if he doesn't like you, or your not worth his time, you're just a "people").
But... the idea of a near-stranger living in your house all the time? Not sure how much I like that. Plus the lose of space. We have a decent sized house, but it's not huge.
Anyways, just thought I would ask for anyone's experience.
Nope. Malthus did though, that ugly Ukrainian lady right?
Didn't Ed have an Au Pair at some point?
When my kids were young we didnt have the space for a live in nanny. But we did have a nanny who went home to her own family at night and that worked out very well. Even if we did have the space I dont think I would have liked to have a nanny who was with us all the time.

Part of what makes it affordable is that you get to deduct room and board from the (already minimum) wage.

I dont think I could do that. Part of what made the relationship with our Nannies (we had two over the years) so good was that they were happy to be part of our children's lives. Part of the reason they were happy is because we treated them well, including the pay they recieved.
I think this is an area where you definitely get what you pay for and reap what you sow.
Yup, I've done it.
The nanny stayed in the room you stayed in when you visited.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Mind you, she was family - an aunt by marriage of my wife. We paid her well by nanny standards - she was happy with that.
She was great. She did everything that needed doing.

Who says she's got to be a live-in? By the sound of it, even 8 hours a day 5 days a week would be a welcome helping hand.
Hell, I'll do it, on the promise that you call me Buskers.

Because at minimum wage the pay is $1900 / month. But you can deduct around $400 for room and board, so now you're paying $1500.
Day care is going to be at least $600-$700 per kid - so that's $1800-$2100. So without the live-in part it isn't cheaper.
So do you want to come and live in my basement and look after my kids Seedy? The Sentry Box is only a couple hours away in Calgary. And there's also the free health care part. :)
Wait, does this mean you are considering letting a BR into your home?

This doesn't make any sense Marti. We did think about it - and we thought about either daycare, or a nanny. We didn't need to do anything at the time because we're only going to need child care some time in 2014, when my wife is ready to go back to work.

But he won't actually post a picture to prove it, so we'll all be disappointed.
I suggest we pre-emptively refuse to create a languish meme based around BB and his brazilian nanny.
My family had Au Pairs from Iceland each of the 5 years I lived in California.
They got room and board for speaking to us kids in icelandic and being at home between me and my brother's end of school and my parents return (usually late) from work. Au Pairs these days for non-ex-pats seem to be mostly glorified fillipina maids.

Yes, I use a live in nanny now. No, I don't fuck her. Yes, I pay her well. Even brought her along to France.
Found her using referrals from friends and vetted her thoroughly. I, being master of time and space, discovered every skeleton in her closet. No, she wasn't a foreigner. After Louise Woodward, I'd never use an Au Pair.

Au Pairs are not child care specialists. They are babysitters that get to live in another country and do a bit of babysitting in exchange for room and board. Louise Woodward was a random teenager that was put in charge of an 8 month old baby. They are not cleaning staff, they are not profession child care specialists. They are young adults that are on an adventure which they pay for in barter by doing a bit of babysitting.
Whatever Louise's failure or crime, the parents should not have left their 8 month old baby in the hands of a teenager.

Canada has a special work visa stream for live-in caregivers, IIRC.
Then presumably they jump ship and go underground when the visa expires?

Not sure. I don't think we have any category of temporary visa that automatically turns into a green card after X years. I could be wrong.

We do not, so far as I'm aware. An employer can petition the state on behalf of an employee, a family member can petition the state on behalf of a spouse/parent/child, or a person can petition the state on behalf of themselves for asylum. But all of those have specific reasons given, and aren't based on a timeframe.
Employer - employee is best for them for that job (usually only works for high tech-type jobs)
Family - I can support my family member here, and I am a permanent alien/citizen
Self - If I go back, they will kill me/torture me/arrest me
At least, when we looked into it, that was how it worked.

whats the amount f time someone has to live in America on a visa before they can apply to citizenship
Not sure. I don't think we have any category of temporary visa that automatically turns into a green card after X years. I could be wrong.
Nothing automatic about it - but you can apply, and if the paperwork is in order, be given permanent residence.
And for the permanent residence <> citizenship - that's true, but once you're in Canada a set amount of time, once you complete all the paperwork you can become a citizen.
Canada accepts far more immigrants per capita than the US. Quick google suggests that Canada accepts around 250,000 immigrants per year, while the US, with 10x the population, accepts ~1.3 million per year (legal immigrants that is).

And don't think I haven't thought about it. Mainly for the weather.

Well if you want to, here's your chance. All you have to do is look after 3 little kids for 2 years in return for minimum wage. :)

Yeah I have no idea how this thing came to be, but it's been the case for quite a while. That said, I think anyone here on a work visa can apply for PR after a few years; not just the nannies.
So I guess it's just that live in nannies are in short supply in the Canadian job market.

That's what happens when your only border is with the US.

Is it weird that now that the nanny is a "tyranny" people are actually asking for pics? :lol:
"Tyranny"?
Is that a form of government in which BB is ruled by a despotic tranny-nanny in his own home? ;)
Tranny Nanny Tyranny.

They sure do. I like how they act like they're being tortured when you're simply making them face the corner of the room while sitting in a chair :lol:

When we were little, my sister and I had to sit in the two recliners in the the living room, and not allowed to get out of them. 15 minutes = a lifetime of solitary confinement.

What about moving east? You can go back to prosecute for the Feds & pay 35$ a week/child! (plus the ungodly amount of income taxes to fund all that).
;)
I think you'll have to bite the bullet & pay 2100$ of day care.

Hey, it's an entertaining addition to growing Langush memes - both BB's "Tyranny" and yours. ;)
Yay, I helped :D
We had a couple Argentine volunteers to stay with us and help take care of the kids -- my wife's sister before she had her kid and my wife's cousin.
As small as the house seems with 2 kids now, having 3 adults and 2 kids in the same house would be even more cramped. Unless I finished part of the basement, I guess.
My cousin was a live-in nanny in Boston and Maine for two surgeons - she loved it. Nice family, the kids were good, they treated her well. Since both spouses literally had pagers and were getting called out at all hours, they wanted to have some stability for the kids. It worked out well for everyone, so she tells me.
*bump*
Wife starts a new PT job. We've hired a local girl as a PT nanny. We'll see how it goes.
We're doing it above-board, and the paperwork is going to be a huga PITA. <_<
Were any of these nannies: naughty
For research purposes of my own in this realm Beeb... what kind of costs are you looking at for the nanny? Ballpark only, not asking you to reveal what you're paying them, but I imagine daycare is $1,100-ish per child per month and my guess for a nanny watching three kids would be around $2,500 to $3,000 a month?

Meh, I don't care. We're paying her $12 per hour, but because my wife's new position is only part time, we're only paying her part time, so 40 hours every 2 weeks. so that's roughly $960 per month, but I have to run the numbers to determine the final cost (since we're responsible for some CPP/EI payments because we're doing this above board).

My ontario co-worker pays 3k/months for 2 children. His oldest is, 4, already in school saving him 1500/month.

Gadzooks.
Earlier we used a dayhome for our oldest, think it was more like $600 per month.
Yes but he can afford it. His wife makes Malthus money while he makes Caliga money.
Is Caliga money: moonshine and cousins?
It's denominated in gas station hotdogs :contract:
HR salaries are denominated in useless red tapes lenghts (in feet).

Thanks Beeb. That's a bit lower than I expected.
The cost of a live-in maid is around US$500 per month. The employer is legally bound to provide basic accommodations and food though, and that is in addition to the US$500.

I have to say that is pretty cheap, especially to the person who would be in the market for hiring live-in maids.

It is a lot of money for an Indonesian.
