The Placement System

This system applies if you need a caregiver full-time or part-time on a live-in or live-out basis for long term care, and you wish to be the employer, and do the payroll and remittances yourself. It also applies to the Foreign Live-in Caregiver Program.

For a single placement fee the Agency will provide caregivers for you to interview, and you hire the caregiver of your choice. The caregiver will become your employee, and you will be responsible for wages, benefits and deductions, statutory holidays, vacation pay and Worker’s Compensation remittances. Cardinal will provide a placement package with the information regarding wages and benefits, the proper forms to be used and will assist you with the process.

Cardinal Nannies & Caregivers Inc. provides a three-month guarantee on the placement. Beyond the six months, if a new caregiver is required, there will be a new, negotiable fee charged. If it does not work out well within the guarantee period, we will do everything we can to replace the nanny or caregiver or offer a partial refund, depending on individual circumstances.

A one year registration to the contract back-up service is available to placement clients. A deposit is required prior to commencing interviews, with the balance due upon final selection of the caregiver.

A partial placement fee may be discussed for shorter or part time placements.

If your requirements are not outlined above, please contact us for more information. Our staff will be happy to discuss your situation and make suggestions with no obligation on your part.
