Where did you read that? Now where you live may mean you are living below or above LICO for 4 people.

Go through this link,under *Genuine and valid job offer*. You will see it
So if you don’t meet LICO then you want to show you have the liquid funds to support your family. If you live in Toronto area and make $30k that is not close to LICO. You want to show bank statements to make up the difference.
Really depends on the location. The cost of living is extremely variable throughout Canada. For example if living in Toronto living costs alone for a family of 4 would be over $2500/month. The cost of living has risen significantly in the past year so it is also very difficult to compare to salaries offered to Nannie’s unless very recent. Where are you located? Are the nanny’s dependents a partner and 2 children or 3 children? How old are the children? Hiring a nanny is not affordable for the majority of families because of cost and the current cost of living. Even if earning a decent amount of income you have to look at after tax income and the amount of money a familiy is spending monthly on living expenses. Many are already paying a substantial amount of their take home income on just housing not to mention transportation, utilities and food not matter how much they make.
Thanks so much for your response. My brother in ontario is the one hiring me. We have prepared everything we need to apply by Jan 2023. My dependants are my husband and 3 children. My brother already has a live-in arrangement for us so we are not going to be paying for accommodation. I really need to know what I can write as my salary/hour. Thanks
Your brother is the one who sets the salary, not you. So his job offer provides the salary, benefits and vacation time. All details for employers are on the site. His business registration number will be setting you up on his payroll. Given it is live in then he will show that you have an apartment in his house for 5 people with separate, not shared, accommodations.

Given the IRCC operational manual, They'll also see the credentials of your spouse i.e. can they contribute to income by working. IRCC will look at their age, skills and past experience. IRCC will also look for any relative who is living nearby and can help financially.
They can't refuse your application based on bank statement. If that was the case, they'd have asked for it in required documents. If they have serious concerns, they'll issue a PF letter i.e. will give you a chance to explain.
For example, median wage for a caregiver in my area is 16.5 and maximum is 22. Even if I offer 22$, that'll become 46000 annually. If caregiver has a family of 5, LICO (Low income cutoff) is around 55K i.e. even a high earning caregiver can't meet it. So IRCC will look at every aspect i.e. can spouse of caregiver earn the remaining (55K - 46K), do they have assets to cover this gap. Do they family nearby etc.
Otherwise IRCC would have said in their requirements i.e. salary should be more than LICO or show a bank statement otherwise.

I'd recommend attaching a letter which explains your spouse skills and how can he support you financially.
Is the separate living arrangements for for your family at least a 3 bedroom apartment with their own kitchen, living and dining space? Although you may be family he needs to be providing you with the same type of accommodations that would be acceptable for a stranger. You will have to take into account the cost of housing (What the current market rate is for what I assume is a 3 bedroom basement is in the neighbourhood and factor that into how much you are paid. It is important that you also look into the costs to make sure you are being fairly compensated. You should still get paid, although significantly less than you would have if you had paid for your own apartment in another location. I have seen some examples of family saying that providing housing was equal to their whole salary. which shouldn’t be the case. Your brother will also have declare his rental property and rental income on his taxes.
Don’t hijack a thread. You have been mislead and there are no jobs here. Do your own job search. Good luck.
