Testimonials

Employers:

After several years with a live out caregiver, we unexpectedly found ourselves in the position of looking for a new nanny. We previously had not considered live-in as we felt we would lose our privacy and were not comfortable with someone in our home. Several friends had live-in caregivers and after witnessing it first hand, we quickly realized our concerns were completely unfounded and, in fact, a live-in care-giver would enrich our lives. Working with Shellie, we quickly realized this was a journey we were on together, not simply a placement. She spent the time to educate us on the different cultures, the challenges we may be faced with and provided us with valuable insights. Our experience with CFNS has been great from the beginning and I happily recommend them – I tell all who will listen what a fantastic experience it has been for us. Knowing what we know now, my husband has commented several times that we should have gone with a live-in caregiver years earlier and I couldn’t agree more!
Janet - Dir. Of HR/Mother of 2;

CFNS is very personal, efficient and a wonderful experience. I have used other agencies,
having to do most of the work myself. I would recommend using CFNS to other families.
Melanie - Mother of 4

“Dear Shellie – Thank you so very much for finding such a wonderful nanny for our baby girl Amelia.  Your dedication to finding the right fit into our home means so very much to us.
Baby is adjusting well to our family and Amelia enjoys spending time with her too.  It's been
a win-win situation for everyone.  I will recommend your service to everyone looking for a nanny!"
Lynn – Graphic Designer/ Mother of 1yr old.

Canadian Family Nanny Services is a top notch nanny agency. I have been so impressed with the care and attention they provided when assisting us to understand what the most appropriate nanny option was for us, and helping us to find the nanny that was right for our family. Originally, I was very reluctant to have a live in caregiver for my children; however, Shellie took the time to walk through the live-in vs. live-out options, and what life would look like with each. We now view having a live-in nanny as a critical support role in our family. I am very grateful for the time, care, and attention that CFNS has provided to us. Thanks!
Jaime & Martin – HR Dir./ Mother of 2

CFNS took what we thought was going to be a daunting process and made it fun and easy. 
The first person we were introduced to was a perfect fit for our family and we hired her
without meeting anybody else, and she has worked out fantastic.
Halley & Don - Self-Employed/Mother & Father of 4;

From my perspective having a Nanny has provided us with a high level of expert assistance by providing our children with excellent, loving care and attention.  In  addition, having a Nanny has removed the majority of the burden and stress  associated with routine daily activities (cooking, cleaning) and allowed us to  enjoy more time with our children. As far as CFNS you provided fast, efficient professional service.
Jeff - Analyst/Father of 10 Month Old Twins;

Alex and I were very hesitant at the beginning to hire a Nanny, as we were concerned that having a new person living in our home with us would be disruptive and hurt our relationship. We were so wrong. It has made our lives much easier and gives us peace of mind everyday
that our children are well taken care of and our home is too. Canadian Family Nanny Services have been incredibly supportive at all times and have always been very professional with us. Their customer service is far better than we ever expected.
Tracey - Marketing/Mother of 3;

We are extremely happy with our caregiver.  We could not have asked for anyone better.
CFNS was extremely professional with us throughout the entire process.  We definitely
would recommend CFNS to anyone who is looking for care for their children.
Debbie - IT/Mother of One Year Old;

I never thought I would have a Nanny, until a friend recommended I call.  From the very first time I spoke with Shellie I knew that I was in contact with someone who not only cared about the family and the Nannies,  but found it very important to make sure they were a match to our lifestyle.  She was very warm and listened to what we wanted and addressed all of our concerns.  We now have a Nanny and in her first week here, both kids were very sick and my father passed away.  Most would have been overwhelmed, but she has helped get us through this time and has really bonded with all of us.  Christie is warm and caring and is willing to learn.  Her first priority is always the children and she has a great sense of fun.  The girls love her and their lifestyle has improved 100%.  No longer is their day determined by what appointments the dayhome has, but it is now driven by what they want to do and what they want to play.  My 3 year old is so happy that she doesn’t have to be rushed out of the house every morning and go to the dayhome, that for the first little bit, everytime they left for the playground she wanted to go back home right away, she just enjoyed being at her house, playing with her toys and spending time with her big sister.  I believe it has worked out so
well not only because Christie is such a kind soul, but also because Shellie took the time to
find someone who would truly match our family, our values and priorities.  I would recommend Canadian Family Nanny to anyone and have already been spreading the word through my workplace.  My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner!!  Thank you once again Shellie for
your dedication and professionalism.  You have truly enhanced our lifestyle!

Mary Ann Mario – placed locally in October 2006.

Dear Shellie, I would like to say thank you for giving me a good employer. I’m so glad to work this family. My employer is good to me with the two girls. They allowed me to use the phone and computer. Now it’s snowing here. The youngest one is shy to me but now a bit closer to me. I’m so glad here in Canada the kids are very independent. My time schedule is I woke up
at 6:30an help the 2 girls ready for school and my employer helps me too. Kids are gone a 7:45am. My employer told me I’m the one to manage my time. We don’t have fix schedules. When they are gone I do all the house works until kids come home. I don’t really prepare for supper they are decided what they eat and they are not very choosey with the food. Unlike in Hong Kong, I prepared a lot at dinner time & lots of works to do. I’m happy to work this family. Thank you very much for your help CFNS.
Warm Regards, 
Rose (Arrived Oct. 2007)

It was an awesome experience working with CFNS. CFNS is beyond my expectations and the family I work for is very lovable! CFNS calls me to make sure everything is going smooth between me and my employer. I would recommend CFNS to other caregivers looking for an agency.
Florence (Arrived 2007)

CFNS told me that my employer was a good family and truly care – it’s true, it’s really true! CFNS followed-up with me when I arrived to make sure I was OK and asked how I was doing. I thing I would say about CFNS is that their service is not only focused for the client, but also for the employee - they do care and are concerned about me as well.
Mary-Ann (Arrived 2007)

I am very happy with my employer and experience coming to Canada. Thank you CFNS!
