Since you may add up to three (3) photos to your profile, we also recommend that you include a photo with a family member or someone you previously cared for.

There are several recommendations we can make in order for you to improve your chances of securing a job offer. Show that you are well-prepared by getting certified in CPR, training in first aid, or an equivalent course. Some caregivers also get licensed, bonded and insured to show that they trustworthy. There are families in Canada who own a pool, so you may want to have some basic training in the water as well. You may want to sign up for more than one type of care; the more searches you appear in will increase your visibility to employers. Spread the word! The more caregivers we have listed on our site the more jobs that there will be.
