the apples of my eyes,i worked because of them and i can pay so much on them. My
advice to you is that you make all the expenses to reach here in United State
and i shall be responsible for refund for every expenses made by you immediately
you get here because why i said so is that i have paid for 2 Nannies in th e past
months which they did not come to my home but went to somewhere else and that is
why i vowed that any Nannies that i will employ,will make all expenses by
himself/herself ,just for me to be sure that you will not do like the past
