That will not be possible. 

 

There are many people in the US that can do that job so she will not get a work visa for that.

I understand but it won’t be someone you bring in from overseas to do babysitting.

Most would prefer that---unfortunately in terms of US work visas, it's not a feasible option.  Unless she already happens to work for a recognized agency.

Perhaps she can apply for an au pair visa anyway to get her out of Hong Kong, given your concern for her safety?

We all would. But most don't have that option. So we make do. Would have saved me tons of money in day care if I was able to but I had to do it. This is life in America.

The reverse is also true your American sister in law can't work there either

My thoughts to your sister-in-law; hopefully HK sees some calm sooner. Unfortunately there's no visa for what you want to bring her here for.

and his brother to be a gardener

and his mechanic brother to keep our 3 vehicles in shape

and his aunt to clean house

Will the gardener also tend to the pool?

you need to read this IRS site about an aupair and all that is required for IRS 

 

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/au-pairs

 

It explains a lot like they can not stay more than a year (unless resident alien)

the person needs to be enrolled in post secondary classes of 6 semesters hours (or more)

the person can only work 40 hours a week

and a lot more

 

if a resident alien ,  then this applies

 

If the au pair is a resident alien and their annual au pair wages exceed the applicable dollar threshold, then the host family must withhold social security and Medicare taxes and report them on Schedule H, Household Employment Taxes, of Form 1040 and on Form W-2. The host family will need to apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) if it is required to withhold tax and file Form W-2. The au pair will need to apply for a U.S. social security number.

It is theoretically possible, practically is the issue.

 

Always amazed how many posters on VJ can consider employing staff. Not sure I know anybody who could. That sort of disposable income is rare.

 

Perhaps we need an Upstairs Downstairs forum?
