I think there is an international school in Batangas. I forgot the name though but there is one. Maids here costs from P2000-P5000 depending on experience. If you're getting an experienced maid, then expect to pay more.

For private assistant for a special child, I am not very sure that I could find an agency that deals with that. But here, usually, expats hire private nurses for special needs. Or maybe a caregiver. Salary would range from P10,000 up. However, maybe all you need is a good maid then a good school for your child.

About your question on migration, I am not clear if you are a Filipino citizen. If you are, there is a non qouta visa, see below;

NON QUOTA VISA

Spouse of a Filipino citizen (13-a) If the application is made by a Spouse of a Filipino Citizen, the following documentary requirements must be submitted:
Two copies of a duly-accomplished visa application (F.A. Form No. 3). Application forms that are incompletely filled-out will be returned to the applicant.
