Other than ExpatExchange, what are good ways for me to advertise a vacancy for nanny and housekeeper on the local market in Vilnius? Is there a "monster.com" for Vilnius? Or a Craigslist? Or a department of Labor that could help me advertise the position? What is the best way to reach potential applicants over the internet?

Hi LTorange,
If you want to get ripped-off and overpay by at least 200-500% of what's normal in this market, you can address such nanny-providing companies as this one here: http://www.aukles.lt/index.php?lang_id=10
Otherwise you could ask some local friend of yours to do a search (and put in an add) on http://skelbiu.lt
If you need a nanny, I happen to know one excellent girl who has been working as a nanny for the last 6 years. She was loved by all of the families that she worked for - she connects so easily with children, and in general is very loyal and can always be counted on. Has lots of real references, too. She is available from the 1st of January.
Good luck!

Thanks! This is good info. I don't need a nanny until June or July, so I will try to figure out skelbiu.lt between now and then. Thanks for the input!

P.S. Just so that you know: the average salary for nannies over here is 1.200 -1.700 LTL, so for 1500 LTL you should not have any difficulties finding a good and experienced nanny. 1-2 daily meals (which they themselves prepare for the kids and share it with them) are usually also included, since the nanny spends at least 8 hours without a break in the hosts' home.
Cheers.

I'm sorry, 1500 LT a week or a month ?and are there any additional responsibilities like national insurance, are 13th month bonuses standard? Vacation, sick leave, maternity leave, work permit fees for foreigners, etc? I've been through several nannies in three countries and I've seen it all so I am just trying to be prepared and informed. I almost had to pay a Filipina's airline ticket home from Europe to repatriate her after two years of work. Glad I read the fine print in the local labor laws before I signed that contract! Thank you!

It's 1500 LTL /month (due to the switch-over to the EUR currency from the 1st Jan 2015, the prices here, along with salaries, will go up a bit in 2015, though). You don't need to worry about anything else as long as you do not employ her, but hire her instead, as a private person who has either "Individuali veikla pagal pazyma" (Private business with certificate) or "Verslo liudijimas" (Business certificate).
In other words the burden of the taxes and similar stuff is then lying solely on their shoulders.
One note though - for 1500 LTL payment majority of the nannies will hesitate signing a contract, in order to hide the income and save taxes. If you pay above 1500 LTL, you should find also those willing to sign the contract, and to pay their taxes.
Hope that helps.
