Become one of Stewart's Caregivers

Stewart's nannies and caregivers are carefully screened. To become a Stewart's Caregiver you must:

• Successfully complete an extensive physical and psychological examination;
• Have first aid and CPR training, or a medical background in nursing, or previous professional training and experience in adult or child care;
• Be able to speak, read and write English well enough for daily life
• Complete caregivers’ training or have equivalent experience
• Maintain a high standard of professional conduct
• Pass reference checks, a criminal background check and a physical examination; and
• Demonstrate that you will be a hard-working, honest and polite addition to a Canadian family.

Stewart's invites applications from Filipino nannies and caregivers who have completed their training and have accepted positions in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other countries. Within three to six months, we can bring you to Canada. After working for two years as a caregiver, you can apply for permanent residence in Canada. You can then apply to bring other family members to Canada.

Becoming a Stewart's Caregiver is your first step towards a rewarding life in a country repeatedly selected by the United Nations as one of the world's best places to live. For more information, read our page about Canada.

Our caregivers are highly valued by their Canadian employers and are often regarded as part of the family. Our Canadian employers are wonderful people who treat their caregivers with respect and fairness.

Our President

Mary Lou Stewart, the director of Stewart's Caregivers, recognized the benefits of live-in care when friends acquired caregivers to help elderly parents. Through her friends' experience, she realized the service could be done better, with more support for caregivers and employers.

"Given my international background in business, I could see the frustration created by agencies that did not adequately screen, match and support their caregivers and clients.”

“I have almost 30 years’ experience in business, most of it customer-service oriented, and I knew I could do better. I established Stewart’s Caregivers, which is committed to giving families and caregivers the professional, honest and supportive service they need.”

Stewart's Caregivers gives you:

• A stress-free application process. Stewart's either handles or guides you through all the required paperwork to come to Canada.
• Careful matching of your skills and aptitudes with your new employer.
• Complete support for you to help you build a new future in Canada.

Although Stewart's Caregivers serves clients across Canada, one of the company goals is to promote in-home care to the growing population of seniors retiring to the Vancouver Island region. Stewart's is centrally located in Nanaimo, B.C., the hub city for the island.

“Vancouver Island has been described as the 'Hawaii' of Canada. We have the mildest climate in Canada, with very little snow and plenty of sunshine. We even have a few palm trees growing in Nanaimo.”
