Hello!
I am a British nanny. I've always wanted to go to America, but I can't afford it. However, I have just thought - how about I worked over there as a nanny?! (I would live-in)
It may sound crazy, but I am looking for a bit of help now. Does anyone know of any kind of nanny or job agencies that would make it safe and reassure both me and the parents that both parties are reliable?
If you are American (and had (a) child/ren), would you hire a British nanny? (Assuming, of course, you were assured of her reliability et cetera)
Also, I would have no clue where to go in America. I want somewhere alive, but not excessively BUSY - not like New York! I live in the middle of three fields of sheep, I don't want too much of a culture shock :P So can anyone recommend a quieter city? Or if not, at least a nice area where I'm not likely to get shot for stepping up the wrong street? Oh, and sorry to sound greedy, but a richer area where I'd be more likely to get a better salary? My pay at the moment is awful and I am trying to save up for a house, laptop and all sorts! :)
Thank you! (link)
HI! first of all i want to say that i love british people..haha well anyways. im 15 and when i was 11 and younger my sister and i had a nanny. she did not work for any company and she lived with us, and of course we paid her.

basically try to put yourself in newspaper ads, online, or in phone books or something. i dont remember how we ever met our old nanny, im sorry. but when i had one i lived in el paso, texas, and TONS of families in that city have nannies. so try going somewhere in the southwest area like new mexico and west texas and you'll find many families interested in hiring you.

hope i helped!

ps-remember that an interview will probably take place and that at first the parents will keep an eye on you to make sure you are right for them. =)
