Language Barriers and Your Nanny

When considering nannies for hire one of the most important issues is language. Assuming that English is your language, are you comfortable with broken English? You need to feel confident that the nanny for hire will understand instructions fully. Equally as important, your children will be with this person under nanny care a great deal of the time. They need to feel comfortable and safe in the communication process as well. If your children are older, they might benefit from having a bi-lingual nanny. They can learn a new language and help the nanny improve her English.
