Relocating to Egypt in a matter of weeks. Due to circumstances with our daughter we've decided to employ a live-in personal assistant to help her with personal care and home education . We won't need them to start until Jan/Feb next year but we're in the early stages of looking for someone.
Does anyone have any experience of doing this or something similar? I'm trying to find my bearings with the law, employer obligations and employee rights whilst abroad or even if they should be self- employed.
I'm a bit out of my depth having never done this before but we need to get it right first time so that our daughter doesn't have a string of people in and out of the role.
Ive found a few resource websites for Personal Assistants but it's related to using their services within the UK and we want them to come abroad with us. Not sure if I'm overthinking it either.
There are a couple of candidates who have expressed an interest in the role but having never had carers live in before I'm unsure how to handle this going forward. I mean, I WILL handle it but if anyone has any tips or experience they can share with me to help make it a smoother process for both parties I'd be grateful.
