Any information po about nanny jobs. Live in and live out. How much do they usually charge for a weekly or monthly service? How about their work permits? Is it charge to their employers or not? Anyone you know whom I can ask to?

I have a friend from the US and they will be arriving in few months time and they are asking about infos and if ever I can find a list of candidates for their 8-month old son.

Thanks in advance...

God bless

You mean, Filipino or other nationality nannies? Are there such things as that here in Thailand?

(Grabe na yata 'to)

[blubinginone]

Filipino nannies? You mean...

Hey, that is serious already....It's breaking my heart....

What other nationalities are involved with this job?

[blubinginone]

Thanks for that...but what other nationalities are involved.  Is it just Pinoys for nanny jobs.  Caregiver is okay, but not domestic helpers, I suppose.

If ever this is the case, how much are they receiving as base salary?

no comment this time. need proof and revelation will come one day. the one who is working such job has to share her experience.
(mababa ang tingin ng mga mataas sa mababa na tao.) this is a joke and also true.
someone who are very tall has to look down to the shorter people.

yeah right

Thanks for this enlightenment...

My only concern is being domestic helpers.  Nannies sounds good due to children.  I just cannot imagine a Pinoy DH catering services with a meager salary.  Or maybe, their employers are super-rich Thais, right? (May mga super-rich Thais pala talaga who can afford a foreigner nanny and dh)

Why am I asking this?  I am just concerned that this kind of job is still being subjected to discrimination which I think it is.

Interesting, though, is the fact that there are European nannies as well.

Okay, I submit to your idea.  Thanks again...

Not me.  I don't generally look down at people based on their status or capacities.  Don't misconstrue my notion.

What I care about are things within the work frame, the essence within.  If a Filipino is a qualified domestic helper and receiving the fair treatment, I see it justifiable now.  A Filipino for that matter will never be judged indifferently.  I will probably have a qualm about a Pinoy domestic helper who faces extreme fate and yet continue to indulge with it.  That would be a no-no.

The same is true with how I look at Filipino English teachers who contend themselves with so meager income (below 8K baht I heard) solely because they want to live or face their dismal fates.  I rather suggest to discontinue this practice.  It is highly unhelpful to others who have been subjected much to the discrimination uproar.  It is a stigma.  

Now, this standpoint does not hold much for a Filipino English teacher who after being subjected to such situation would aspire to make better his situation.  He averts the recurrence of the same fate by pushing himself forward like polishing up his abilities and English whatever the case maybe.  Anything in contrast to this is negative for me.  I usually dent my passion when situation to the contrary occurs.  I tend towards not only the looking down, but also the abhorring of their existence.

Forgive me with this, but this is how I look at things to win over the discrimination.  I did win and some others too, I believe.  I want other, if not all, Pinoy English teachers to follow suit.

Lots of Filipinos are jobless in the Philippines right now not because we lack opportunities in the Philippines but it's because most of the Filipinos are picky. Some Filipinos prefer to stay at home doing nothing than to work for a low-paying company. There's nothing wrong in earning a low salary as long as you are happy in what you are doing. You know what? I know some people who are not happy with what they are doing but they are still doing it for the sake of MONEY. I guess prostitution started because some people are equating happiness to money.

I am just concerned that this kind of job is still being subjected to discrimination which I think it is.
According to Martin Luther, "Nobody can discriminate us without our consent." If you are proud and happy of being a nanny, then why should you permit other people to disciminate you?

THE FEELING OF BEING DISCIMINATED yields from the fact that we are not happy with what we are doing.

I just totally disagree with this because all the arguments are products of hasty generalization.

Primordially, let me be more specific.  The subject of discussion is about Pinoy domestic helpers and nannies in Thailand.  These two job categories are rare occurrences for Pinoys in Thailand.  In fact, nobody can claim in contrast yet because of lack of information.  Nobody among the ranks has surfaced yet to give full-detailed information on what is going on with their contemporaries. 

Based on the information given so far, there was a clear information that discrimination has been looming around.  It was mentioned as a prelim information that European nannies are offered much more than the Filipino ones.  This is crystal-clear discrimination!

It is entirely ridiculous to refer to Martin Luther King’s conception of discrimination because it is directed to civil rights in general and not entirely specific to job salary issues – as in this subject of discussion.  It is not anymore the issue of Filipino nannies being happy with what they are doing; the discrimination issue is setforth forcibly because they were mentioned receiving less than their European counterparts.

Motion to add is Filipinos are not actually picky but, in every sense, professional and prim.  Statistics have it that suitable opportunities are really lacking back home.  We’ve got new graduates from state universities and vocational institutes, especially in the provinces, forced to till farms or fish just like their parents because there is no available work which will compensate their degrees.  Does anyone think they will be happy? Of course not, nobody will like the idea of studying, preparing and being trained in a job he will never have.  One will surely feel the negative as it is a clear waste of resources.

Discrimination is here, in this very essence of being a Filipino domestic helper or nanny in Thailand.  And, there seems to be an existing quest on how to whistle out a fair tune for this new struggle.  I am just thinking if Filipino English teachers in Thailand have never made it yet, how could Filipino domestic helpers and nannies have the courage to prevail?

Let me summarize and seal my argument with a kiss.

[ajarn_ph]

many experienced, qualified, and licensed professional Filipinos are hired or imported to work in different countries around the globe. both less and more professional women and men have engaged to work as domestic workers, caregivers in hk, uk, us, sg, th and elsewhere. they strive in whatever kind of professions or jobs to do to earn their own living and loving way to help their own families. We are Pinoy, Filipinos of modern time. IF only few of us will fight for the right and most of us are always concern of their own way of life, our country will be the symbol or country of nannies.<ajarn_ph>

i think Filipinos are not picky, just that marami tayong supply ng labor force ngunit konti lang ang opportunities at nangpapahirap pa mga capitalists, politicians at labor agencies.

[pinksense]

so far in thailand they do not give work visas/permits for these professions: caregiver, nanny, domestic help. the way out is for the employer who holds a work permit to apply for a dependent visa but this again depends on the employer's company/organization. or the employer him/herself can apply at the immigration for this. it involves costs as well (processing, bond of 100k-200k baht). better check with the employer's company if they have a policy. i met some who work at UN and private companies who could not even help in the processing as this issue or situation is not covered in their policies or something. but according to thai immigration rules, anyone who can stay legally in thailand can apply for a dependent visa for another. but then the point is the person is not really a dependent but will be paid a salary. not many employers could do this, and even their companies/organizations are hesitant. so the easiest way is for their domestic employees to do visa runs to the different borders.

unless there is a recent change in the visa rules. if so, it will be good to look more into that.
