Live out helper/babysitter wanted

[rani]

That's true you need to obtain approval from the Director of Immigration, if suitable live-in accomodation is not available. If you read the footnote on the immigration site -

Examples of unsuitable accommodation are: the Helper having to sleep on made-do beds in the corridor with little privacy or sharing a room with an adult or teenager of the opposite sex.

In Barb's case, they are a family of 6 and space was an issue.

Part Time Helper

Ladies,

I've had Amy come by several times a week for the last month (recommended by another mom on Geobaby) and she is AWESOME! She is flexible with her hours, already lives in a boarding house so doesn't need you to help take care of that. She takes care of my 1 year old son including taking him to the playgroup on occasion. While he is sleeping, she is busy taking care of household chores. She is just great. Send me a message if you would like her to call you or want more [email protected]

Ladies,

I have a part-time helper who I won't be using anymore as I am going back to work and will have a live-in helper. The part-timer is AMAZING with our son who I am EXTREMELY particular about. Her name is Amy if anybody needs a part time helper. Send me a message and I'll have her call you. She is awesome. She has more energy than I do sometimes with our son and when he sleeps she is always doing something else - cleaning, vacuuming, ironing, laundry, etc. She has even taken our dog out a couple of times upon my request.

Let me know if you need somebody and I'll have her call you. She already stays in a boarding house so that won't need to be organized/paid for. I would HIGHLY recommend her - she was recommended to me by another mom on geobaby!!

You can email me at [email protected]

Dear Patts,
Please email at [email protected] to tell me some details like your living district, how much you would expect to pay and your contact number or email, so that I can ask her to contact you directly.

Patts,

I am in the same situation. My work hours are exactly like yours. I am basically "on call".

I have had to turn down a lot of work because it just isnt cost effective for me to work when paying someone by the hour. The babysitter would make the same amount of money as me when adding in the hours to get to my job (which can vary).

I can't hire a full time helper because i dont have the space and my husband and I are on local wages. My work isnt constistent.

But i need someone so I can work again. Im very frustrated.

I figured if I pay someone $2000 a month it is fair. But they have to live near me as well. Because since Im on call, they'd be on call too. They might not have to work very much and could do other work if i don't need them. But I cant pay the $4000 Domestic helper wages because sometimes i dont even make that much.

Hi Cristletips,
Sounds like we are in the same situation, I have just got myself a part time job. I have been looking around for part time helper but it seems rather difficult as I only know my schedule a week in advance so a part time helper might have other commitments with other people on the days that I need her. It is impossible to pay someone by the hour as I would be broke! ;-(
I still hope to find someone who can accomodate my last minute schedule,otherwise i might have to consider not working...it might not be worth all the stress and worry.
How old is your baby?
