Hi,

I am a London based Nigerian and recently had a baby. With day care being so expensive in London i've found that most of my salary would go on paying nursery fees for my child. In other words, i might as well stay at home and look after the baby myself. My husband works but it would be nice to have some income coming in from my end. As a result, i have considered bringing a nanny/househelp from Nigeria to look after my baby whilst I go back to work, (as a cheaper and more convenient option- Obviously, i plan to give the help a good life here and occasional trips to Nija to see her family!).

Has anyone on here done this? I've occasionally seen Nigerians settling with house helps here calling them cousins, or one relative or another. What are the tricks of the game? any advice would be really helpful. Obviously, i know of the risks i.e running away, social services e.t.c but are there success stories? how would they move from visit visa to permanent residency? I'd be most grateful for your views.

Thanks

Hi,
This might be an old post but it is still relevant for me.

I am looking at bringing my family friend to the UK to help my little one.
UKBA is not straight forward on the required steps, has anyone brought someone to UK before (recently)

Thanks

@Poster, when i had my baby about 5 years ago, i brought in someone from nigeria. i got a domestic visa for her, don't know if it still exists though. All you have to prove is that she has been employed by your family for the past 2 years or 6 months, i really cant remember. I said she was working with my mum in nigeria, you have to have a contract of employment showing her salary.
The visa was granted for two years after which she applied for leave to remain.
I brought in an older woman, in her early sixties and she was very good, took care of my first and second babies very well and even though, i have heard stories of people that were not so lucky, i just thank God for her.
On the other hand, theres a nigerian domestic help agency in catford, i think its called tofun, i can give u their number if you want, they send someone to stay with you from sunday night to friday evening and u pay them £150 weekly, some that used them have been lucky and others not so lucky, but i just think it all depends on the individual and how you treat them.

I had someone from Nigeria. She was 40, with no husband or child. She was disappointed by life in Nigeria and needed a break outside Nigeria.
I made sure she could braid hair.
She always had FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OFF to work on a braid shop to earn extra $$$$.


She got paid EVERY MONTH in $$$$, not NAIRA. Above minimum wage too.
You respect yourself, she respects you.

Thank our lucky stars.

Nmeri17:
Don't you find it ironic--somebody braids hair internationally but is unable to tie the knot

Anyway, where is she now so I can walk her down the aisle before 2017 is over? There's just one Saturday left but mommy didn't raise a quitter

I didn’t get any assistance in my quest off here so helped myself.
There is a category called a domestic visa that lets you bring helps such as nannies,cooks and cleaners.It is straight forward but costs £496.
The entry officer requires;
Proof she/he will live with you and have their own room.
Copy of Nigerian contract.
Copy of uk contract.
Data page of all parties including children to be cared for and that’s all.
Resident permit of child’s parents
Tuberculosis test certificate which has to be done at IOM Buchanan street Wuse two and costs 48,900.
Six months bank statement of child parent not nanny and a letter of iv to the nanny stating his/her full name/pass number/dob/and what you are bringing them to do.
Believe it or not that’s it...They most have previously worked with you or your immediate family in Nigeria for a year.
