Minimum Wage is on the Rise!

How do you feel about the introduced legislation to increase Ontario’s general minimum wage from $11.40 per hour to:

$11.60 per hour on October 1, 2017 (already announced in March 2017)
$14 per hour on January 1, 2018
$15 per hour on January 1, 2019

This sounds like amazing news for employees that are currently earning minimum wage!

However, will we start to see more self checkout counters in stores and supermarkets? Will employers start cutting employee hours? Will products start to become more expensive to cover the increase in salaries?

6 GREAT TIPS TO MAKE DINNER TIME COUNT

Here are a couple of suggestions to make dinner time count:
1. Eat together with your spouse and kids as often as possible.
2. Make a table rule: no books/magazines/devices
3. Don’t ask family members to report on their day (what they did, who they interacted with, etc.) but welcome any sharing that spontaneously happens. Share your own day if you want to.
4. Have an interesting topic to raise for discussion.
5. Avoid stressful topics, complaints and issues.
6. Reward appropriate behaviors with your focused attention; as much as possible, look away from inappropriate behaviors. When you MUST correct something, do so quietly and firmly.

How Do I Find the Right Nanny?

How do I find the right nanny for my family?

Its a common question.  What does the right nanny mean to you?

For some it means that the floors will sparkle, for others it means someone who is happy and fantastic with the children. Some may want a nanny who is very organized and others need a nanny who is a wonderful cook. It is important to be realistic that when searching for a nanny. It is unlikely to find someone who is excellent at everything.

Finding the right nanny for your family means defining what is important to you and looking for a nanny with those qualities.

Our Mothers Secret

We were raised in a home where our mother was always calm and we never heard her raise her voice. She kept smiling as we spilled grape juice on the carpet, colored on the furniture, or broke her bone china. As young mothers we often ask her what her secret was. She would answer with a smile, “the secret is in the help. Help in the house is a priority”.  She explained that because she had help doing laundry and cleaning the house, she was able to calmly focus on her children.

Seeing how challenging it is to find good help, but realizing its value based on firsthand experience, we developed a database website making it easy for families to connect with Nannies, Elder Caregivers & Cleaners.
