[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds great. Ignore the ones scaring you. In an emergency she is still a grown-up. If any, she may over react to little accidents.
[b]Are all the kids whose parents don't speak English in disadvantage[/b] and in danger?
Tell her it's ok to ask for help nearby. Someone speaks Spanish. She needs all the info she can get from you.
It's not the language so much, but understanding one another and understanding the expectations.

Um...yes!   I thought it was well established and that's why there are so many programs and services to help them.

It's not just about emergencies, it's about all the every day stuff too.
If your kid goes regularly to a park, story time at the library, etc. and gets along really well with another kid that also goes to those, it's natural to want to coordinate a playdate.  How will the nanny do that with the mom if she can't speak English and the other mom doesn't speak Spanish?[/quote]

Not a fact.
Most nannies speaks Spanish and coordinates playmates with other kids from the library, parks, all nannies are friends, they celebrate thier kids birthdays together at the parks.

Most public areas there are bilingual speakers, especially libraries. My mom knew little English and had TONS OF FRIENDS, loved walking everywhere and everyone was nice.
I was a nanny and now I'm a prek Teacher.

Most moms prefers to talk and do playdates with other moms. They let the kids play with each other while the moms drink wine. That's what a mom once told me. No thanks.[/quote]
