    Questions families ask

The only employed-caregiver, flat-rate lifecycle care company in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

What we mean by that

By that we mean three things together: every hourly caregiver is a Puffin employee; one published price list, the same for every family — no quotes, no membership, and no per-child fee for in-home childcare; and care from a newborn’s first weeks, through childhood, to care for ageing parents — with in-home respite for autistic children arranged directly, and pediatric therapy in development.
