Hi,

We're looking for a nanny / childminder for our 10 months old girl in San Pawl / Buggiba starting September 2018.

In France it's very common to find "child assistants" (is it called "childminder" ? or "nanny" ?) who take care of 2 to 3 children during week days at their own place. It's usually a bit more expensive than nurseries but less than an au pair or "at home nanny".

As I'm not a native English speaker and not yet used to Maltese habits, I'm wondering if my research is correct (do I use the right words ?) and if I can expect to find such a person. It doesn't seem common in Malta...

Of course, if anyone can give me advice, feedback, recommend someone or share childcare time, feel free to contact me !

Thanks for your feedback ! Yes, I saw these groups and am waiting for approval to post my request. But actually I was wondering whether or not I do use the right words, and if having someone doing this from its own place is usual in Malta. Couldn't find anyone at the moment but hopefully will by september 馃槉
Thanx anyway !

yeah your post is understandable, everyone here are used to broken english don't worry

I did find a few people saying they will look after kids at their locations - also kindergarden is free if you are employed - but ones I found all wanted to come to us which was what we wanted anyway
