Hired help

Hi All
Can't wait to be there.got SOoooo much good info off here. I ran a search on hired help but didn't come up with that much.
Perhaps someone can help.
My biggest worry (really, my ONLY worry aside from the usual constants such as traffic accidents and illness etc!) is finding a really good person to look after my boys. They will be 4 and 5 when we arrive, and will finish school at 12.30, whereas my husband and I finish at 3, give or take.
I am relaxed about housework and shopping etc, but I need someone with a good grasp of working with kids to keep in check two fairly strong-minded boys. I am obviously concerned that they will be kept safe for those few hours each day.
I don't know if our accommodation has space for someone to live in.
Any comments gratefully received...
Thank you
Bec XXXX

you can place ad's for someone to look after them for those set hours but its very hard to find a person who will be loyal and there for the kids everyday...Some have been lucky but you just never know...

Your best bet would be to sponsor a live in maid, that way you will ensure there is someone home for them everyday. It will work out cheaper in the long run and your boys will have a regular familiar face daily...

Hi

We have been here a few months and I am also trying to find hired help. Can you let me know if you have any luck with this.

Many thanks
