Does anybody know of anyone needing a great Nanny or housekeeper?  This lady 
had worked as a Nanny/housekeeper/cook at an NGO for almost 20 years. She is 
about 38 years old.  Most of her employment years she was taking care of 
infants and children of foreigners but when there was no foreigners with small 
children she did many other jobs at the same location.  She is honest, kind, 
is a good cook, a great house cleaner, she can bake bread, sweet rolls, 
cookies, cinnamon rolls, donuts etc...  She is originally from Abricot outside 
of Jeremie.  She live in Carrefour and has a husband and children.  The NGO she 
worked for has been transfering more management to locals over the past 6 
years.  With this has come the usual hiring of every relative until they could 
no longer make payroll. She was just let go while the guy whose job description 
is to run the photocopyer (the same copier that has been broken for 10 months) 
still has a job.  .  Her husband is a metal worker who lost his job 6 years ago 
when the iron-work factory he had worked at for 11 years closed for the same 
reasons many factories have been closing.

She loves children and actually gets down on her hands and knees to play with 
them. She does not just "watch" the kids.   She loves them and  is very kind 
and clean. she provides good discipline and good habits to children.  Her only 
disadvantage is that she cannot read and write.   She has tried to learn as a 
adult but has given up every time. 
She lives in the Waney area of Carrefour. She has been used to work with 
regular daytime hours where she goes home to her family at the end of the day. 
However, last I heard she was thinking of trying to cross the border into the 
Dominican trying to get employement so I think she would be open to any work 
arrangement where she gets fair pay and where someone would RESPECT  her and 
the quality work she provides.  If she would have to travel a long way, she 
would most likely agree to stay overnight weekdays as long as she could go home 
weekends.  She may also be open to work with people outside of Haiti.  People 
with the right contacts seem to be able to arrange for such things.  At this 
point things are pretty desperate and jobs are impossible to find. 
If anyone has any leads, reply directly to me:  raber88@zoominternet.net
