10 Savvy Services for Moms in Toronto

It can be overwhelming to maintain each and every aspect of family living. Have no fear—we chose our top Toronto family services that we want to share with you.

Once we got the dirt on all the chemical ingredients that make up our ‘cleaning' products, we scoured for services offering a fresh alternative. PureClean, now accepting residential clients in Toronto, passed with flying colours. We love that you won't find a health warning label on any of their products and that no harmful chemicals remain in the air or left behind on our floors, furniture and appliances after they leave our house clean and sparkly.

We don't like to be whiners, but we think the worst part of the daily meal isn't the actual cooking, it's the planning, the schlepping and worst of all, the repetition. Enter, Mealspirations! Mealspirations is different from other meal delivery or grocery delivery options. First, they provide a meal plan for you (it's a set menu each week), then they package up all of the necessary ingredients and deliver them to your door. You can try new foods without all that thinking and shopping required on your part.

In a Pinch live up to their name. Whether you have a last minute date night or an non-negotiable business trip, they offer a range of services for your every babysitting need. From an overnight sitter to a monthly contract at flexible rates, you won't have to worry—they've got you covered.

Sometimes it's nice to let someone else come through and clean up your swarm of toys, clothing and junk for you. Keeping House is not only a great alternative to your weekly clean, but it's also environmentally friendly so you don't have to feel so bad about surrendering your broom.

Between work and the kids' school and extracurricular lives, we know it's hard to give your household some TLC. But it's okay, because Jane will solve all your reno and carpentry problems. Best of all, you pay based on the nature of the work and how long it will take.

We keep garage doors closed for a reason, but after winter has gone by, the kids will be begging to get in there to survey their collection of last summer's toys. We know you've been dreading this moment. To make it more bearable, contact the people at Nuvo Garage. They'll have your garage organized and tidy in no time—even if you didn't think it was possible.

Your car isn't kid-proof (though we're almost certain you knew that already). Ice cream drips, marker stains, cookie crumbs and broken toy remnants line the floors and coat the seats and you've given up. But wait—C-SPEC can solve everything. They'll make the interior of your vehicle look brand new. What a relief.

Installing car seats isn't exactly a typical mom gig. That's okay, because the people at Baby Seat Experts will help you choose the proper car seat, install it for you and keep you up-to-date on child car-safety guidelines.

As the official repair service for Bugaboo and Maclaren in Toronto, Stroller Spa knows their way around most makes and models. They offer full cleaning (using high quality, eco-friendly, biodegradable and baby safe products), repairs and service—and if you're looking to sell, they'll help with that too.

With regards to scheduling family appointments, you might be barking up the wrong tree when it comes to your pet's vet. K9 comes to the rescue with its mobile dog and cat grooming services offering an on-site—right in your own driveway—and less stressful option for all breeds, both large and small. Their state of the art, well-equipped van provides complete cosmetic care and is particularly well suited for pets that can be skittish or aggressive around other dogs.
