Hi If you want a nanny job maybe you could try http://www.majesticnannies.com. I have worked with a few British nannies working for VIP families here, but don't know how they got their jobs or anything, or maybe try tinies agency. As far as I know here they don't have nursery nurses in hospitals here. You wont be able to get Haad liscensed without a medical qualification eg nursing. Your other option is to look at being a nursery teacher in a nursery here, but to be honest the pay is as bad as it is in the uk and its generally people on their husbands visas that do it. How can they say you don't have enough experience if you have been a nursery nurse since 1993?
