With your EU connections why choose the highly expensive and risky UK route over the totally free and unrestrictive EEA route?

I met a Filippina recently in Spain where she has been working for a while , she does not speak Spanish just a few words to get by in shops etc but has managed to get a job as a nanny earning approx 1000 Euro/month , not great money but tax free and as usual she is managing to send half her money home to support her family . She is working 9 to 10 hour days Mon to Friday then 8 am to 2pm Saturday . The only benefit I can see she gets is free accommodation / food etc probably notionally worth another 500 Euro / month but she still feels the need to get away from the job at weekends so rents a room with a friend . I met several of her friends all working as nannys but it seems since the credit crunch lots of high earners who would once have been the main employers can no longer afford a nanny . The working conditions vary from virtual slave to reasonable , all depends of course on the family you work for , I was surprised at what some of them were having to accept seems they are asked to do just about everything . One thing that they did not seem to worry about was getting ill or needing a dentist , just as well as health insurance etc is out of the question for them and they cannot get it free .
