TITLE: OptiMum Childcare and Nannies Inc.
DESCRIPTION: For two decades Optimum has been providing personalized placement services to families across Canada. Our website offers access to hundreds of nanny and senior caregiver profiles.
We DO NOT exchange links with adult sites, political sites, sites advocating violence, sites that redirect to other domains, sites that provide invalid e-mail addresses,
sites with multiple pop-up ads, or sites that take an extremely long time to load. Our reciprocal link must reside in your own domain (www.yourname.com),
be clearly accessible from your home page (a link to your 'links' page is acceptable), be direct to our web site URL, and be indexable by search engines
(so FFA, sub-domains, and dynamic links do not count). We reserve the right to decline or modify any link submission and we do not want our e-mail address
distributed or put onto a mailing list.
