Hello! Can you help me? I have lot of questions being a direct hire nanny in Russia. I would greatly appreciate if you could give me an advice. I was hired by a Russian to be her Nanny in Russia but currently I'm living in the Philippines. We agreed to pay for the processing documents (working permits and working visa) to a Company in Russia half by half. For assurance purposes I would like to know if this is safe. She told me that she will hire a lawyer and get a Filipino Company to assist and process the work permit and visa. She told me that the total cost of payment is around 2800USD to 3000USD. So I must pay for the half amount. The transfer of money will be on the third company which will take the processing of my papers in going to Russia. And regarding with the agreement she will hire a lawyer regarding that. I research her fb, instagram and linked In and I can see his/ her personal backgrounds such as where he/she works. I can also see lot of his/her pictures which seems she/he is active with his/her social network links. Is this a safe method? Thanks
