It's a scam. You need a green card to work in the US and a special visa just to get in! Employers do not "arrange" these things, the Immigration service does. People wait for 10 years to get a green card.

Ok i just sent him my reply to the interview...fingers crossed!

1) What do you think children like best about you? the way i spank them!

2) What kinds of activities would you do with 3year old child? throw them around like a football

3) Can you give me some examples of problems you have had with kids and how you handled them? ate a couple of kids since they were being naughty

4) What would you say is your discipline style? shoot first ask questions later

5) What do you consider to be your most important responsibility in this job? checking out your wife.

6) At what point would you call a pediatrician or 911?..WHEN SHE SUDDENLY HAS RESPIRATORY DISTRESS OR WAS CHOKED BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE SOURCE.. Have you ever had to handle an emergency...I'd wait till you come home to give further instructions

7) Have you ever had to manage a morning with a 5yr girl before...Nope but i have plenty experience with older girls

Obvious scam. When it is too good to be true, it is indeed too good to be true.

why would anyone want to recruit a nanny, driver etc all the way from Qatar when they can be locally found in USA?

By happygolucky• 1 Jul 2010 08:44
happygolucky

Since the tel. no. seems to be of USA as mentioned above, this ad may be considered as 'impressive' instead of a scam...:)

I hope it’s not a scam as they are offering the adequate salary for jobs of great responsibility and accountability which require personal skills, energy and dedication.

These should be the standard salaries all over the world for qualified people to exercise these professions and be rewarded with dignity.

If you are interested, give them a call and measure carefully their words.

The number is from the the state of Georgia, USA.

this does not smells like, it actually STINKS!!

As FS said I also saw a few days back someone offering and giving similar details but in UK currency.

Maybe they know each other's Kids and are trying to get the nanny "at all costs"...LOL
