For other areas, availability varies based on service type and local professionals. Childcare and nanny services are more widely available than specialized services like speech therapy or family coaching, which require specific qualifications. 

The best way to check availability in your area is to post your request on our platform — you’ll receive an immediate confirmation if qualified partners are available in your region. Our network is growing continuously, with new partners joining across all Quebec regions. 

Unlike other platforms that perform no mandatory checks, all our partners undergo a rigorous verification process: government-issued ID verification, official criminal background checks, and a professional competency questionnaire in their field. That’s why families trust us to find their rare gem safely. 

Margot also takes no commission, ensuring fair rates and long-term trust-based relationships. 

Margot isn’t a placement agency — it’s a technological platform that directly connects families with verified, independent partners. Unlike agencies that charge high commissions and impose rates, Margot allows families to negotiate freely with providers while maintaining full safety through our verification process. You retain full control of your relationship with your nanny or babysitter while benefiting from Margot’s support, tools, and training. This is family support reinvented for the digital age.

Creating an account is free for everyone. 

Families can post their needs without charge and only pay a subscription for extended use or access to advanced features (unlimited postings, priority messaging). 

Providers can also publish their offers for free, including identity verification and visibility on the platform. Background checks are paid by the provider. A subscription is required to use direct messaging. 

This commission-free model keeps costs fair and predictable for both parties, unlike platforms that take a percentage of each transaction. 

Because both the family and the provider must have an active subscription to communicate directly, it adds an extra layer of safety and commitment to the Margot community. 

To offer your services on Margot, complete the online form by selecting the type of service you wish to provide (childcare, language stimulation, educational support, etc.). 

Once your profile is submitted, the Margot team conducts identity and background checks before approving your listing. 

After validation, you can personalize your profile, upload a photo, specify your availability, and start responding to family requests. 

Yes. Each provider sets their rates based on experience, service type, and region. 

Margot doesn’t interfere with pricing — the platform acts solely as a trusted connection tool. 

We encourage transparency: your rates appear on your profile before a family contacts you. 

On average, family support services at home in Quebec range from $18 to $100/hour, depending on specialization and location. 

Complete pricing freedom compared to traditional agencies:

Unlike agencies that impose fixed rates or take 25–60% in commission, on Margot you can:

  • Set your own prices based on your expertise
  • Negotiate directly with families
  • Keep 100% of your earnings (0% commission)
  • Adjust your rates based on demand

Typical Quebec hourly ranges (2025):

  • Occasional childcare or pet sitting: $17–20/h
  • Regular experienced nanny: $18–28/h
  • Specialized services (psychoeducation, speech therapy): $50–100/h
  • Overnight or emergency care: $20–25/h 

These are reference ranges — you always remain free to choose your rates. 

Payments are made directly between you and the family, through your preferred method (e-transfer or cash). 

Margot never holds funds and takes no percentage. 

For your protection, we recommend using a traceable payment method (e.g., Interac e-transfer). 

You remain responsible for your tax obligations and income reporting as a self-employed worker. 

Recommended payment methods:

Interac e-transfer — traceable, fast, secure
Online payments (PayPal, Wise) — ideal for recurring payments
⚠️ Cash — acceptable, but always request a signed receipt

Important tax obligations: 

As a self-employed worker in Canada, you must: 

  • Report all income to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
  • Keep all invoices and receipts for at least 7 years
  • Collect GST/QST if your annual income exceeds $30,000 and your service is taxable (most youth-related services are tax-exempt)

Ressources:

Margot does not provide tax advice. Please consult an accountant if needed. 

After each direct messaging interaction, families and providers can evaluate each other. 

Reviews are private (account required) and include a 1-to-5 rating and optional comment. 

This system promotes transparency and mutual trust between users. 

A unique two-way review system in Quebec:

Margot is the only Quebec platform where partners can also evaluate families — creating a respectful, balanced community where everyone chooses who they work with.
