Hello,

Sorry for my late response i have been really busy for teh last couple of days thats why,Its good to hear from you and your interest being my nanny, i hope we can work things out from here..like I told you I need a nanny for my 4 year old daughter(lizzy) to make my new job easier for me..I hope you are really interested to join me here in USA and if you are ready we can work things out..This is my first time of hiring a nanny from outside my country and I hope it is good for me......if you are ready let me know so we can start something. You will be working from Mon-Friday from 8am to 4pm weekends are free for you and you will be paid at the rate of $14.50 per hour which is about $725 weekly and you will be paid every 2weeks.You will be required to do light house work but its not all of the time. You main duties is to take and fetch Lizzy from school,assist her with her home work, take her to the park,zoo,mall and ensure her safety, I needed someone who loves kids and willing to treat my kid like her own, someone i can trust,sincere and has good intentions and i hope i can count on your. Lizzy is an amazing kid and i am sure you will get along very well with her, she is very brilliant and clever like me and she enjoys singing and playing the piano, and about myself I am 35 years old of age single mother and i must say im much of a career woman and my life is all about work work and more work, i am a very busy lady and my line of work really keeps me more busy thats the main reason why i need a nanny. By the way i wanna ask how long are you willing to work for me for? are you currently working for a family where you are now? do you have an international passport? can i see your photo and resume? Honestly this is my first time of hiring a nanny and i dont really know much about the process but a friend of mine who hired a nanny from Poland as linked me with the immigration consultant that helped her to bring her nanny to the USA..I have contacted their website and its better you contact them too and you can visit their website on http://www.benjtraveltours.com
I opened a profile as Ms. Robeta Williams, an American family in process of bringing a nanny to the USA.
Mention my name in your email to them and they will tell you all you need to do as i dont really know the process of filing for you. You can contact me after sending them email .
Thank you.
Robeta
