How to Unlock Hidden Nanny Jobs in Canada: The “Secret” Path from Babysitting to Full-Time Roles
If you’ve ever wondered whether the best nanny jobs in Canada are advertised publicly, the short answer is: not always.
Some of the most rewarding, best-paying permanent nanny roles never make it to a job board at all. Why? Because they’re already spoken for by nannies who first met families through occasional babysitting with Nannies on Call.
Keep reading to learn how it works, and how you can access these “secret” opportunities yourself.
Why Some Nanny Jobs Are Never Posted
Families often first connect with us at Nannies on Call because they need occasional or short-term help:
backup childcare when school is closed,
coverage for a parent’s work meeting, or
a trusted sitter for a date night
But life changes. A family that needed just a few evenings of babysitting may suddenly need steady, long-term childcare. At that point, many families reach out to our sister company, The Nanny Solution, to explore hiring a permanent nanny. And more often than not, their first question is:
“Can we hire the nanny our children already know and love?”
When you’ve already worked with a family through Nannies on Call, you’re first in line for these permanent roles, without ever having to compete with dozens of applicants.
Why Families Choose Their Occasional Nanny for Permanent Roles
Families are most comfortable hiring a nanny they already:
Trust to be reliable and professional
See as part of the family after repeated positive experiences
Know their children adore
These positions often come with more than just steady hours. Families may offer:
Top pay rates
Paid vacation or holidays
Health benefits
Professional respect and recognition
Long-term stability
In other words, occasional babysitting can be the first step toward a permanent role that’s both financially rewarding and emotionally fulfilling.
Every Booking Is an Opportunity
The truth is, the best nannies rarely have to “job hunt” in the traditional sense. They create opportunities by:
showing up prepared
being reliable
building strong relationships with families, and
giving their best at every single appointment
When you work with Nannies on Call, every babysitting shift can double as an informal audition for something bigger. Families notice your effort, and sometimes, it leads to your next dream job.
