Toronto Nanny Agency Named First International APNA Member

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Illegitimate practices highlighted the news have made Canadians skeptical
of nanny agencies. If parents need live-in care, the agency of choice
must be reputable. The Association of Premier Nanny Agencies (APNA)
provides parents and nannies with a database of agencies they can trust.
The "APNA Seal" is awarded to agencies that provide the highest level of
professional conduct and integrity. Toronto-based Diamond Personnel was
recently named the first international member.

"Credibility of the agency is very important for parents. It is hard to
judge based on a website or advertisement," says Audrey Guth, president,
Diamond Personnel.

"We are working in an industry, where the end user...a child, elder or
nanny - may not be able to communicate their needs effectively," said Ms.
Daryl Camarillo, director of memberships, APNA. "Our member list takes
the guesswork out of finding an agency parents and nannies can trust."

Camarillo is the first line of defense in screening APNA applicants. She
says the most common failures are due to an inconsistency of information
presented to clients or nannies.

A board of directors further screens agencies for integrity and best
practice, reserving the right to deny applicants. The APNA code of ethics
covers issues from clearly defining labour laws to methods of
interviewing parents and nannies. The "APNA Seal" covers all aspects of
the nanny agency.

"Parents have been trusting us for over 20 years," says Audrey Guth,
president, Diamond Personnel. "We are proud to have the APNA logo on our
website to further reassure our clients that they have come to the right
place."

Diamond Personnel has also recently won their 9th CityParent.com award
for Best Nanny Agency in Toronto, voted by its readers. President Audrey
Guth has been asked to advise the Minister of Labour on changes to ensure
that vulnerable employees working under the Live-in Caregiver program are
protected. These days, with limited daycare available, many parents
require live-in care. Diamond Personnel has been helping Canadian
families find the best personal home care since 1988.

Diamond has placed over 3,000 workers nationwide. Diamond head office is
located in Toronto, ON. www.diamondpersonnel.com
