Nanny Placement & In-Home Childcare in Langley, BC
Puffin Services places nannies and provides in-home family care across Langley — both the Township and the City — covering Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Brookswood, Aldergrove, and Downtown Langley. Langley spans fast-growing subdivisions, established village centres, and working farmland, and our caregivers travel to the family home wherever it sits.
Where we work in Langley
Coverage is the whole of Langley, and it does not matter which of the two municipalities your address falls in. Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Brookswood, Milner, Aldergrove, Downtown Langley, Nicomekl, Douglas, and Simonds are all served at the same rates, with no travel surcharge between them and no surcharge for rural addresses.

Langley is two municipalities and one search. Families in the City of Langley and across the Township — Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Aldergrove, Brookswood, Murrayville — are served identically, and candidates routinely work across both. The Township’s spread is the practical factor: a Willoughby placement and an Aldergrove placement are twenty minutes apart, which is well within a candidate’s daily range, so the search area is genuinely both rather than nominally both.
- 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 Services charges the same rates in Langley as in every other municipality it serves. Hourly childcare starts at $32/hr for children 12 months and over, $38/hr where a child under 12 months is present, $36/hr for after-school pickup and care, and $36/hr overnight between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, all with a three-hour minimum. Nanny Placement is a one-time fee of $500 under three months or $1,000 for three months or longer. There is no zone pricing, no travel surcharge and no downtown premium — a family here pays what a family in Hope or Vancouver pays. The City and the Township are billed identically; there is no boundary that changes a rate. The full rate card, including what does and does not change the price, is in the 2026 cost guide.

Every Puffin caregiver is an employee, not a contractor. We carry the insurance, we handle payroll and remittances, and a Langley family is never the employer of record for someone working in their home. Each caregiver completes a provincial CRRP vulnerable-sector criminal record check, reference verification, and ongoing certification checks before being matched.

Langley questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Puffin Services places nannies throughout Langley and provides hourly childcare, postpartum support, event nannies, and senior care across the area. Both Langley municipalities — the Township of Langley and the City of Langley — are among the 16 Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley municipalities we serve.
Nanny Placement is a one-time fee of $500 for placements under three months or $1,000 for three months or longer, with $200 due to start and the balance when we place your nanny. Hourly childcare in Langley 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. Rates are the same in every municipality Puffin Services covers.
Langley families should allow at least 24 hours notice on hourly bookings so a caregiver can be properly matched and scheduled across the two municipalities. Nanny Placement runs on a longer timeline because it involves a candidate search, background checks, and interviews. Same-day booking is not available yet.
Yes, both in full, and at identical rates. Township areas such as Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Brookswood, and Aldergrove are covered, as are City of Langley areas including Downtown Langley, Nicomekl, Douglas, and Simonds. You do not need to know which municipality your address sits in to book.
Both, as a single search. Puffin Services places nannies across Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Aldergrove, Brookswood, Murrayville and the City of Langley, and candidates routinely work across the two municipalities. One-time placement fee from $500, 2–3 CRRP-checked matched candidates, typically within 7–10 business days.
Yes — provincial CRRP vulnerable-sector clearance and reference verification before any placement, for every caregiver working in the City or the Township, paid for by Puffin. Hourly caregivers are Puffin employees, so Puffin carries the insurance and the payroll and you are never the employer of record. A placed nanny becomes your family’s employee, which is the one case where that does not apply.
One business day to review your profile, then 2–3 matched candidates typically within 7–10 business days. That is the placement timeline; hourly bookings need 24 hours’ notice instead. Candidates routinely work across both the City and the Township, so a search draws on one pool rather than two — Willoughby and Aldergrove are about twenty minutes apart, well inside a daily range.
