<div><br/><br/>There are so many great ways to travel the world while earning a decent living, but if you also love working with children, becoming a nanny overseas could be the perfect opportunity. Many families and resorts offer employment to nannies of all ages who are motivated and ready to become part of their family abroad!<br/><br/>One of the main considerations when looking for nanny or au pair jobs abroad is certification; the last thing you want to do is find your dream job online, only to find out that it will be difficult to get a work visa! For this reason, most nannies looking for work abroad begin by registering with nanny agencies. Nanny agencies specialize in matching families looking for childcare with appropriate nannies and au pairs. By working with a nanny agency, you have the opportunity to reach many potential families with one application process, which will save you valuable time to plan your move abroad!<br/><br/>To start, you&#8217;ll have to find nanny placement agencies that place nannies in the specific region or country to which you&#8217;d like to move. While you are considering where this should be, there are a few important factors to consider:<br/><br/>Language Barrier: If you are a native English speaker, you&#8217;ll want to consider whether or not you&#8217;ll be comfortable in a non-English-speaking environment. Many families in non-English speaking countries would love to hire an English-speaking nanny who can help teach their child English. At the same time, communication with the family itself could be difficult.<br/><br/>Certification Requirements: Every country has different requirements for nannies, and it is important to know if you will have to pass a certification exam before you can legally obtain a nanny position abroad.<br/><br/>Exchange Rates: Depending on what you are looking for in a nanny job overseas, you&#8217;ll need to consider whether the standard wages in a foreign country will be enough to sustain your lifestyle.<br/><br/>Once you have narrowed down options for a particular region to find a nanny job, you should consider what kind of nanny abroad job you are looking for. Some of the most popular jobs for nannies overseas are summer jobs. These are generally three-month cultural exchange placements, and will allow nannies to travel as well as work with a family. A summer nanny provides all of the same functions as a full-time, year-round nanny but might have the added responsibility of being with the children while they are out of school and on vacation.<br/><br/>An Internet search is an invaluable tool to find an appropriate nanny agency. Some popular nanny agencies that place nannies abroad are:<br/><br/>Kingsbrook USA: Kingsbrook USA provides placement assistance for nannies and au pairs in the UK, Europe and Australia. Jobs are full time for 25-35 hours per week, and host families provide room and board as well as some &#8220;pocket money.&#8221; Nannies are expected to commit to a minimum of 9 months (full school year), but there are some short-term summer placements (3 months) available as well. Make sure to contact them very quickly if you are interested, since they don&#8217;t list their &#8220;administrative fee&#8221; on the website.<br/><br/>Almondbury Au Pair and Nanny Agency: UK-based Almondbury really stands out as a great agency for nannies and au pairs abroad because it places job seekers without charging an administrative fee (or any fee for that matter). They place nannies and au pairs in countries across Europe including Austria, Belgium, Italy and Sweden.<br/><br/>Best Programs (Spain): Best programs is a language-intensive nanny placement agencies, where nannies and au pairs are responsible for being English language models for the children in addition to performing basic household tasks. Nannies are expected to have an interest in the Spanish language and culture, and will take classes at a Spanish academy in Madrid during their placements.<br/><br/>After you&#8217;ve chosen the right program, you can gather together all of the materials requested, which generally include a resume (childcare-related), references and any proof of certification. After you have submitted these documents, the agency will either match you with an appropriate family, or give you access to a number of host family profiles online. Each agency will have different matching criteria, and it is best to ask what kinds of things they prioritize when placing a nanny during the application process.<br/><br/>Starting a position abroad can be exciting, and the experience is life-changing. As a nanny or au pair working overseas, it is important to take in all of the sights and sounds of your host country, while being a reliable and stable presence in a child&#8217;s life.<br/><br/><br/><br/><em>By: <strong>Lisa Jenkins</a></strong></em><br/><br/><strong>About the Author:</strong>
