visitor visa for non related person

[woobaba]

Hi,

I am thinking to call someone from India for a babysitting help.

1. What documents are required ?

2. Is this any different than inviting parents from a documentation perspective?

3. What oher small details I need to know in this special situation?

4. Does this goes under Visitor Visa category or is there a special category for this kind of visa

Thanks in advance for your help.

Chennai123 is wrong. There is a provision for baby sitters
visa , you can bring one from India on a J-1 visa under the au pair program.
But there are guidelines: read this;

The au pair program is one of the most closely monitored of the exchange visitor programs. The category allows the entry of individuals between the ages of 18 to 26, who are coming to perform childcare services for a US host family while attending a post-secondary school. The foreign national must be proficient in English and a high-school graduate. Prospective au pairs are extensively screened, including a background investigation, criminal check, physical and psychological exams. The screening process for host families is almost as demanding. The host family must pay the au pair at least the minimum wage, and cannot request the au pair to provide more than 45 hours of childcare a week. The au pair must also be provided with a private bedroom. An au pair cannot be placed in the following situations: there is a child under three months in the home, unless a parent is home as well, or in a family where there are children under 2, unless the au pair has over 200 hours of prior infant care experience. The program sponsor must provide the au pair with at least eight hours of child safety instruction, and at least 24 hours of child development instruction.

Chennai_123 you need to read your own post carefully. There is a provision for the Non-Immigrant visa holders to briing along their domestic servants as well. (part 2 of your post.)

Second the other poster was talking about the au-pair system.
