About us
We are a family of 4. My husband and I and our twins. No pets, non-smoking. My husband and I work from home more often than not. Our background is Filipino and we are very hospitable, respectful, reasonable and caring. We are in the downtown core of Hamilton and our home is on a quiet street, with the convenience of parks, public transit, community centres and a grocery store within walking distance. We would love to find someone who not only supports us, but can be an extension of our family...someone we will grow to love and trust!

Why us?
We're happy to give annual bonuses starting the successful completion of 1 year of service, birthday bonus, provide CPR recertification each year, free photography session per year and paid meals, admission to any events/attractions whenever you might join us.
Our process
• Initial Zoom/video call
• Coffee date to meet in person
• Intro/play date to meet the kids
Once these steps are complete and we feel comfortable and confident that we're a great fit for each other, we can start when we both agree on a first day for training, which is typically on Saturdays and Sundays.
Hope this helps to give you an idea of the kind of family we are and to help you make an informed decision on your search!
