Nursery World - Go-for-it reader offer

If packing your bags for a summer holiday has made you wish you could stay abroad longer, here's the book to take instead of that blockbuster novel. The Au Pair and Nanny's Guide to Working Abroad by Susan Griffith and Sharon Legg has just come out in in its fourth edition. It gives a country-by-country guide to working for families in Europe, North America and other parts of the world, lists agencies and other sources for finding jobs, and outlines who's eligible for such work and what rules you'll have to comply with. Best of all, it has no illusions about these all being dream jobs and it takes an honest look at the pros and cons, backed up with comments from real nannies and au pairs about their experiences in different countries.
