Rose Pablico: Caregivers

Canada Dept: Since 2010, fewer foreign live-in caregivers have been admitted to Canada, partly due to the declining applications by Canadian families who are now required to pay for all recruitment fees incurred and partly a result of Ottawa s slower processing and tighter screening, according to The Star. The open work permits allow nannies to work outside of an employer s home and in the field they choose, and many have since given their two-weeks notice and left their jobs and these days, it scares Jodi Kaplan to let her live-in caregiver, Rose Pablico, out of her sight because of the rampant nanny poaching across Canada, especially in Greater Toronto. The shortage of live-in caregivers has been exacerbated since mid-December when the federal government issued 14,000 open work permits to nannies who met the employment hours to apply for permanent residency.
