Looking for a reliable nanny (ideally Filipino or Chinese) for our 7 1/2 month old son!

Hi there,

My husband and I are currently looking for a nanny to look after our 7 1/2 month old son. Really nervous as initially my mom was looking after him but has had to rush back home to Paris to take care of her household matters. We are both working at the moment and we would need someone 5 days a week from 8AM-6:30PM. We live in Wembley Park (about 8 minutes from the station, in a high-rise). If anyone out there can recommend someone good we would really appreciate it!!!

Why Filipino or Chinese? You realise it's illegal to discriminate based on ethnicity right?

You're posting on the wrong board: this is for childminders, not nannies.

You'd be best looking on the mumsnet local site and putting an ad on the page for your area.

@RelaxMax thank you! Didn't realize! Will repost in the right area!

It's also for nannies, but it's not the place to be advertising.

There's a separate nannies board, so not sure this "childminders" board is intended to cover both.

Why Filipino or Chinese? You realise it's illegal to discriminate based on ethnicity right?
^^ this. What do Filipino and Chinese nannies have that other nationalities don't?

Sorry RelaxMax, you're right, they all used to be together and I see they've now been separated.

No problem, it was quite a recent change.

And agree it's odd to look specifically for a Filipino/Chinese nanny, maybe it's to do with language requirements if the family is bi or tri lingual?
