Getting the green light for that green card…

My cousin’s 21 year old daughter, Lucy, works as a children’s nanny and her very first position two years ago was with a family in Denver, Colorado. She had never lived away from home prior to this and the family were quite anxious about her living so far from her home in Australia and taking on the huge responsibility that her job involved.

But she did brilliantly and the family she worked for just adored her. Lucy had a permit to stay in the States for twelve months and when her time was up the family tried to keep her on by attempting to get an extension on her Visa…but to no avail. Lucy had to leave and when she returned to Australia she really missed the family, especially the little two year old boy who had been under her care.

They had really taken her in and made her feel a real member of the family and not just an employee. She went along on their ski holidays, a trip to Hawaii and even to Florida so she really had a good time whilst being paid as well. Now she is waiting for her green card so that she can return to Colorado - the family would love to employ her again and have just purchased some Winter Park real estate in the form of a holiday home right in amongst the mountains and lakes. They want to spend more time there and need their Aussie Nanny back to help out with the kids…another baby has been born since Lucy left them.

So Lucy sits and waits for that elusive green card - she has been waiting now for almost a year and is biding her time working for a family in the Outback on a large property - and you have to admit you couldn’t get two more contrasting landscapes than the Australian Outback and the mountains of Colorado!
