Desperate for a Filipina Housekeeper/Nanny

Truly desperate. Our housekeeper/nanny fell ill 5 weeks ago and has been in hospital. We are having our house renovated and my DD is only 6. I work as does my husband. Does anyone know where, how, when I can get one from or if you can recommend anyone?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

This is a wind up.

Especially the bit about the sick one in the hospital... presumably they are going to leave her there and remove cash wages?

Lets not judge, maybe the OP has a genuine reason like her DD is learning Tagalog?

I'm sure it wouldn't be for some slightly unpleasant, borderline racist reason like Filipinas are just so hardworking and lovely with children because they miss their own kids so much...

Nice try reality but I don't think those reasons would fly Grin although I quite fancy an Italian gardener...

You can specify a nationality if you have good reason however Filipinas are quite difficult to find legally. In a rush your best option is a temporary nanny of whatever nationality until your current nanny/housekeeper has recovered.
