We live just outside of Toronto and we wondering how people have gone about finding live-in housekeepers/cooks.
Ideally, we'd like someone to live in and keep the house tidy during the week and prepare dinners. It would be great for someone who is perhaps going to school in the area and/or requires living accommodations. I don't think a full eight hour day would be required, so this person would be free to pursue other work or activities.
Most of the websites that we've come across deal with nannies or people overseas. We'd like to find someone who is already in Canada and is an amazing cleaner and terrific cook.
We have two children who are in school all day, so childcare would be minimal - perhaps a weekend evening once or twice a month?
We are stumped on where to find this person - or even if such a fit exists. Also, what would be an appropriate salary, given we are providing them with room and board.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions?
Many thanks,
