[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us, we did not prioritize a degree/educational experience (honestly we couldn’t afford that pedigree for a nanny). We looked for someone sweet and loving. 30s/40s. Both were recent immigrants and non-native English speakers. It’s worked out wonderfully. We’ve become close with our nanny’s extended families and even traveled with them to their home countries. My kids speak the manny’s native language fluently. Dcurbanmom HATES this kind of nanny and claims you MUST have someone with a degree, you MUST pay $30-40/hour, they must speak English, etc. Those things didn’t matter to us and it worked out great. During Covid we’ve allowed nannies to bring their own kids even at times. It’s been fun for my kids and helps reinforce the 2nd language. [/quote] We went this route as well. Our kids aged out of having a nanny but she is still a close family friend. [/quote]
