Hi,

I would say you'll be able to find a maid/ houseboy for general house duties cleaning etc but as far as including nanny duties I wouldn't get your hopes up. They exist but more like babysitters.

It depends what you need but if you're expecting professional nannies cheap you will have great difficulty. I employ professional my last  temporary nanny was from south africa and made a huge difference to my life as I need full time help. I now have a couple coming from the UK at the end of the month. You can expect to pay anything from 350 GBP TO 800 + a week. Agency fees for placing abroad are extortionate but there are some great online sites where you can post ad's or search cv's www.nannyjob.co.uk is good as is www.gumtree.com I found my latest couple through an ad I placed and I had hundreds of replies. They both attract lots of professional nannies who want to travel and am seeing more and more people in Qatar advertising here.

If you want any more help let me know. I don't know where you are but if you're from the UK or are still there and want to go down that route I would try and interview before you come.
