It's not rocket science to work as a live-in caregiver, you don't need a 5 page resume or anything.  You can look for live in caregiver jobs here: http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/JobResult_en.aspx?ProvId=99&Keyword=live+in+caregiver&Sources=JobBank,Government&Student=No

Some of these advertisers are looking for a nanny for their kids, some might be looking for a caregiver for an elderly or disabled person and some are placement agencies.  You will just have to read through them.  I don't know how long it takes to get a work permit for a caregiver but you would get one for 2 years and then renew.  You can apply for your PR and open workpermit also after 24 months of work, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/caregiver/extend-stay.asp

Start by applying to different job postings. In other words, find an employer willing to hire you, and go from there.

God bless you!
