Also, the point here is that the working Korean families NEED this service dearly...I would love to see the government allow foreigners from PI and other south asian countries to come here as au pairs but I just don't see it happening....SO, in light of that, i think some proper training of local help would be in order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35849993.post-69126840583945987762007-01-26T00:49:00.000+09:002007-01-26T00:49:00.000+09:00Perhaps you ought to look at what is being done in...Perhaps you ought to look at what is being done in Hong Kong. Plenty of college-educated Filipinas work as nannies. For less than what many families pay to send their toddlers to preschool, especially those that purport to teach English, a Filipina nanny can be hired. Those whose visa status permit them to do here have been hiring Filipinas for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35849993.post-84648154111769453512007-01-26T00:16:00.000+09:002007-01-26T00:16:00.000+09:00where do you live E?

My wifes family lives 4 hours away so we very rarely get time alone without the kids.<br /><br />I really wish that another mixed couple lived close by so we could trade off on watching kids for one night a month to go out and enjoy ourselves. But no-one lives close enough to us to make it practical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
