[quote=Anonymous]OP - ask yourself: how much communication you envision with the nanny? If you are hands off, trusting, and not a detail oriented person then it might work for you. If you want to give a lot of instructions, feedback, discuss things like schedules, food intake, naps - then it will be difficult for you. there is no right or wrong, it depends on your personal style and what your needs are. My DH is fluent and I speak intermediate spanish, and it was still awkward, because we have a child with a disability and needed to be exact in terms of communication. I needed to use DH as translator and the nanny came to see DH as her boss, not me. We ended up hiring someone who speaks passable English, but sometimes she pretends she doesn't understand when she wants to skip doing something.[/quote]
