Harrison Hot Springs is the smallest community Puffin serves, and small communities are exactly where families are told a service does not reach them. This one does. The village is inside the coverage area on the same terms as Surrey: same placement fee, same hourly rates, same CRRP standard, no travel surcharge. The candidate pool here overlaps heavily with Agassiz and Kent, which is a practical advantage — a nanny placed in Harrison is usually already local to the area rather than commuting into it.
- Step 1
Tell us about your household
Ages, schedule, languages spoken at home, driving, and anything non-negotiable. Your family profile is reviewed within one business day.
- Step 2
We search and vet
Candidate search, provincial CRRP vulnerable-sector criminal record checks, and reference verification — done before anyone reaches you, not after you have interviewed them.
- Step 3
You meet 2–3 matched candidates
Matched candidates typically arrive within 7–10 business days. You interview; we do not place anyone your family has not chosen.
- Step 4
One fee, once
$500 for a placement under three months, $1,000 for three months or longer, with $200 due to start and the balance when we place your nanny. There is no ongoing commission and no hourly markup after placement.
One difference worth being clear about: a placed nanny becomes your family’s employee, not Puffin’s. Puffin runs the search, the CRRP checks and the reference verification, and then steps out of the relationship. That is the opposite of our hourly childcare, where the caregiver stays a Puffin employee and Puffin carries the insurance and payroll — two different products, two different answers to "who is the employer".

Puffin caregivers are employees, not contractors. We carry the insurance and handle payroll and remittances, so a Harrison Hot Springs family is never the employer of record for someone working in their home. Every caregiver clears a provincial CRRP vulnerable-sector criminal record check, reference verification, and ongoing certification checks before being matched.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Puffin Services places nannies in Harrison Hot Springs and provides hourly childcare, postpartum support, event nannies, and senior care across the municipality. Harrison Hot Springs is one of the 16 Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley municipalities we serve.
Hourly childcare in Harrison Hot Springs starts at $32/hr for children 12 months and older, with infant care at $38/hr and after-school care at $36/hr, subject to a three-hour minimum. Nanny Placement is a separate one-time fee of $500 or $1,000 depending on length. Rates are identical in every municipality Puffin Services covers.
Hourly bookings in Harrison Hot Springs need at least 24 hours notice so a caregiver can be matched and travel arranged to the village. Nanny Placement takes longer, since candidates are sourced, background checked, and interviewed first. Same-day booking is not offered yet.
Yes. Care is delivered wherever the family is staying in the village, so a visiting family books on the same terms and at the same rates as a resident one. The usual 24 hours notice applies, so booking ahead of your stay is sensible.
No. Harrison Hot Springs is the smallest community Puffin Services serves and it is covered on identical terms to Surrey — same one-time placement fee from $500, same hourly rates, same CRRP standard, no travel surcharge. The candidate pool overlaps with Agassiz and Kent, so a nanny placed in Harrison is usually already local rather than commuting in.
Yes. Every Puffin caregiver working in Harrison Hot Springs completes a provincial CRRP vulnerable-sector criminal record check and reference verification before any placement, and Puffin pays for it rather than passing the cost to the caregiver or the family. Hourly caregivers are Puffin employees, so Puffin carries the insurance and is the employer of record. A nanny placed through Puffin is the deliberate exception — once placed, they become your family’s employee.
Your family profile is reviewed within one business day and 2–3 matched candidates are typically presented within 7–10 business days. That is placement turnaround, and it is a different number from hourly booking notice, which is 24 hours. The candidate pool overlaps heavily with Agassiz and the District of Kent, which is a practical advantage — a nanny placed here is usually already local rather than commuting in. Being a small community, a search can still take longer than that range.
