I see a ton of ads where families are seeking a filipino nanny. how would advertising for a caucasian nanny be any different?

They are also required on top of that to pay all employer related expenses such as EI, CPP and 4% vacation pay and so forth!

It is not ~ all of them are discriminatory and illegal!
Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
