The International Nanny Association receives many requests from nannies who want to work in other countries. Immigration laws vary, but we have found it to be difficult, if not impossible, for non-American nannies to find work in the United States. American nannies who want to work in Europe will also find that obtaining work visas is very difficult. We recommend that nannies interested in foreign placements contact INA members for placement agency assistance. Canadian nanny placement agencies, for example, report that highly qualified nannies with good references can often obtain work permits to be employed in Canada, especially with the help of future employers.
Foreign placement can be very time-consuming.
INA is hopeful that a cultural exchange program can be established to help qualified nannies find work as in-home child care specialists in the countries of their choice.
