Maple Ridge placements are usually about the school run. Households from Haney and Hammond out to Albion, Silver Valley and Websters Corners are spread across a wide catchment, and a nanny who drives turns a difficult logistics problem into an ordinary one. Pitt Meadows sits immediately west and shares much of the same candidate pool, so a search here draws on both rather than being limited to the municipal boundary.
- 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".

Nanny Placement is a one-time fee of $500 under three months or $1,000 for three months or longer.

Puffin caregivers are employees, not contractors. We carry the insurance and handle payroll and remittances, so a Maple Ridge 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 Maple Ridge and provides hourly childcare, postpartum support, event nannies, and senior care across the municipality. Maple Ridge is one of the 16 Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley municipalities we serve.
Hourly childcare in Maple Ridge 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.
Puffin Services asks Maple Ridge families for at least 24 hours notice on hourly bookings so a caregiver can be matched and the schedule confirmed. Nanny Placement takes considerably longer, since candidates are sourced, checked, and interviewed first. Same-day booking is not offered yet.
Yes, the entire district is covered, including Silver Valley, Websters Corners, and Albion as well as Haney and Hammond. Rates are the same throughout Maple Ridge, with no additional charge for a longer drive.
Through a placement search rather than a listings site. Puffin Services covers Haney, Hammond, Albion, Silver Valley and Websters Corners, running the candidate search, CRRP vulnerable-sector checks and reference verification before presenting 2–3 matched candidates, usually within 7–10 business days. Given the catchment, a candidate who drives is worth specifying on your family profile. One-time fee from $500.
Yes. Every Puffin caregiver working in Maple Ridge 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 catchment from Haney and Hammond out to Albion, Silver Valley and Websters Corners is wide, so a candidate who drives turns a difficult school run into an ordinary one. Pitt Meadows shares the same pool.
