Very general question, since immigration and labor laws are different everywhere.
But we are leaving our current country and moving to another and would love to bring our child's nanny with us for a year. She is so good with our son and has become family. It would also be a great experience for the nanny.
Anybody ever do or hear of an arrangement like this? Does it seem like something that should be possible or really unlikely/impossible to do?
Bringing an employee to another country

A lot of that is going to depend on what country you go to. In general you might have to bring your nanny over once you have arrived and can sponsor their visa. Most schools will not sponsor a domestic help visa, as that would make them their employee not yours. The amount of time as the requirements vary, depending on the country. Some will require you to have PR, some will only require you to have a long stay visa. In either way you may be surprised about the level of pay and benefits your required to provide for them (since your now an overseas employer).
