I started a nanny agency last August, specializing in Nannies from Europe.

In March I moved, and I basically had a 4-month break from the business and was just able to start up again this July.

I also have 2 young children I am trying to keep entertained at the same time.

In August, I will be holding my first nanny fair.  I am also busy scrambling to find nannies, find families, market, research, advertise...  the list goes on.

Finally, I am trying to start an au pair program in Canada.  Every other civilized country in the world has one.  If you want to read my blog, you can go to:  www.europeaninhomeservices.com

Nice to meet all of you!

Hi there :-) Welcome to Startup Nation (SuN)....

I think this is a super idea, one whose time has come. With the many people out of work in the global economy, and the many others who work so much they can`t take care of anything, the au-paire girl or personal valet (guy) could solve all sorts of problems.

Biggest issue I`d assume is bonding, certification, and credentials. But it sounds like you`re in a really good place to be starting a business.
