a q question about nannies
Hi,
I contacted a nursery teacher who was looking for a job and i offered that she work as a nanny for my kids, 8 hours daily for 5 days aweek and she asked for 2500 QR monthly. She also asked if i can give her a work visa. Is this a reasonable price? and is their a difference in the salary if she is on my sponsorship and living at my house or if she is on somebody else sponsorship and live out? please provide your advice as soon as possiple.
chunk03....
will your wife be looking for a job for earning or for passtime to utilise her experience.
i dont think 2500 is in my league to pay...and at the same time i dont want to insult her capabilities by paying very less.i hope you understand.
if something doesnt work out with sosoya80...pls let me know.
when is she expected here?i am looking for someone urgent.
happy heart

Hi sosoya, my wife is interested,contact us, heres my email
[email protected]
thanks.
I am the one who opened this discussion when I asked for advice about a nanny. I don't think pur wife will finda problem in finding work at nurseries in Qatar, sice there is alot of british nurseries here and there are always new nurseries opening. However if she was unable to find a suitable job, please concider working with my familly. I have a 15 months old twins, who are nice and calm and I would apppreciate it if I found someone reliable to take care of them, I am not looking for a miad, but for a qualified person who will be able to take good care of the kids, teach them new words, stimulate their senses, etc. And I am willing to pay a good salary for the right person. so feel free to contact me if you are interested.
kya moni.........you were supposed to call me and here you are.
hope alls well with you.if you still didnt figure out who this is....well i had your maid for a day :-D
call me whenerv you are free.

I agree with what you are saying.I do have someone working with me at the mentioned rates.However the quality of services provided are awful.Its just that I'm too desperate since I have a kid and I am working.
In case anyone finds any other option let me know even if it means a good nursery.
chunk since she worked in a nursery...she shouldnt have a problem finding a job in the nurseries here.there are a couple of good ones here.
alternately she could find the right job as a nanny with the right family.the figure that was mentioned in the initial post is something only the real rich can afford for a few hours a day.
once she is here..she can always post her services here and someone will surely help you out.but be prepared to accept that the way things are done here are a little different from back in england.i dont htink she will have a problem getting a job here.

Hi all,
Due to start employment in qatar with the next 2 weeks,im coming over first then my wife following in a couple ov months,problem is, my wife is a registered child minder and also deputy manager at a nursery here in england,but we are worried bout employment in qatar for her, maybe she may be able too find employment with a private family, which to be honest we really didnt consider,.......
so maybe she could be open to offers!!
if its a live-out nanny...even then expect to pay in the range of 600-1000 for their services.
another thing you need to be sure of is to have their passport copy with sponsor details with you.becasue sadly most girls are runaways and that can be a real issue to keep them with you.
girls on free visa are free to work without any hassles.
anyway if you do find anyone and you dont wish to keep her...let me know....i too am looking for a maid.....but i prefer a live-in maid for a month to look after kids n housework......they should know english or hindi.

Thanks han 19,
The informatin you provided was helpfull. I just prefer to have a live out nanny and someone that is already in qatar so i can get to meet her before she comes from another country and be on my sponsorship.
anyway, thanks for your help
she is trying to rip you off.
a live-in maid is paid in the range of 800-1500 these days.
this lady wont be staying in and she wants you to sponsor her as well. she is crazy and you will be even more crazier to accpet her offer.
what k9 said is true...but thats an altogether different issue. sometimes you got to work and leave the kids in a trusted person's care.but i would also add that there are some extremely lovely maids/nannies who take very good care of the children.it all depends upon how we treat the help and how they do in return.
i suggest you contact recruiting agencies here who get the maid for you...the initial pay is high...but thats it. you can have the maid on your sponsorship and have them on trial basis too, if you are unhappy they change them for you.
else just apply directly for visa and then go about hunting for the nanny/maid.in short indian embassy has kept the minimum pay for maid as 900,philipino is 1200 and indonesian is in the same figure...i think it is 800.these are maids on your own sponsorhip who live with you.
so now figure this out pls.
happy heart

thanks for you opinion, I just wanted to know if this is a reasonable price for the qualifications of this person. and yes i do need to work and has to hire help and i want the best for my kids off course.
"Is this a reasonable price?"
How much is your kids' welfare worth to you?
My honest advice is to take care of your children yourself, because nobody else will ever care about them as much as you do. But if you need to work and need to hire help, I'd suggest getting the best help you can find.
