Hi All we're relocating to Lagos Nigeria and we need to find a lady to help us look afterour 3 children.
Does anybody know how to find a nanny over there?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Laura, hope my contribution is not coming too late, finding a nanny is not a difficult task, the difficult task is in having a trusted person.
There are quite a few agents who could connect you with persons trafficked from neighbouring countries to Nigeria, this might not be safe as their home or where about might not be traced.

Please get over first and hopefully, you will find neighbours around to welcome you and chat with them.

A good referral of a local is less challenging but try to very identity of whoever will be referred to you, ask where she lives, who are her parents, If she is still in communication with them and why she wants to do Nanny instead of school.

For anyone with no traceable family ties, Please don't accept.

Do get in touch if you need further assistance. Thanks
