Yes - you can switch. Your new employer will first need to obtain a new approved LMO and then you will have to apply for a new work permit. Make sure you meet the crtieria to be an LCP - you either need to have recent experience or recent training that is related to being a live in caregiver.

I would recommend that you start with getting the right training. This will be essential to succeed. Once you have the training the rest should prove fairly simple.

Good luck :)
