I was wondering how I could find a qualified nanny to help look after my infant daughter. Are there any websites or HK newspapers or magazines I could use? I would rather not use an agency.
Thank you for your help.
Well, unless you know somebody that can intriduce you to a nanny and from there spread the word that you're hiring, it' going to be very difficult to find one without an agency. I am a nanny and trust my agency 100% to find me the right job. It may seems like a lot of money but at least you know who are dealing with (background checked) and if something goes wrong, you have somebody to turn to...Shirley at Rent a mum can help you out if you change your mind. www.rent-a-mum.com
I used to be a Nanny with 12yrs of experience all over the world. The best way I know to find a Nanny or a New employer if you are looking for nanny work is The Lady Magazine. It has agency adverts and private adverts for Nannies, DH's, housekeepers etc. I don't know where you would get this in HK but it is readily available in the Uk and you can subscribe to it overseas.

Hi Lisastone,
Sorry but I am relatively new in town so don't have any contacts here.
You could also try posting an add on www.nannyjob.co.uk they have overseas jobs on there too.
I think I do. If you want, why don't you pm me with your details (how many kids, ages, where you live, looking for live out/in?, etc.) and I'll pass them along to the nanny of our friend who I think will be available next month.
