There is a bit to do to get them over and the process will take several months but in the end the cost would be less than a live-out nanny and you wouldn't have to worry about them getting there in the morning.
There are several companies that will help you find and bring over nannies from overseas as well

Be very careful of this. If you don't follow employment standards (and one of the selling points is that you can underpay these people because they just want their citizenship eventually) it will backfire. I have heard a few stories of these overseas employees wising up to certain discrepancies in their pay vs. what is legally required.
We looked into it very seriously, but in the end decided not to. The applicants we talked to only went to some very basic course in child-minding and English skills were not at a high enough level.
The whole thing just involved a lot of lying and scheming to save money on something you shouldn't be trying to save money on when you're thinking about your children or the well-being of your house.
