"I like the attitude here, seeing the culâ€" ture and how people live. Canada is a wonderful country."

Formerly, nanâ€" nies needed nursery training which is the equivalent to our Early Childhood Education program and experience. Now, they need Grade 12, or the equivâ€" alent, and six months of training." ‘ ” J hen Helen Hook was a child in England, she used to watch a proâ€" gram called "The Nanny" and dreamt of becoming a nanny herâ€" self.
