To be approved as an employer, you have to prove that you make sufficient income to be able to pay your live in caregiver an hourly wage that meets the minimum for your provinces and your caregiver must work/be paid for at least 30 hours per week. So your income certainly plays a role in whether you are approved - you have to be able to afford to pay the caregiver you will be hiring.

There are also living arrangement requirements. For example, depending on the age and gender of your children, you may have to have a house/apartment with at least four separate bedrooms in order to be approved.

You can find more information here: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/foreign-workers/foreign-workers-hire-caregiver/working-conditions.html

You have to be able to pay her salary (and employer portion of taxes) on top of LICO. So another $16-24K depending on where you live. That's where the $70K comes from.
