[quote=Anonymous]There are many children who are resilient and overcome all sorts of things, both terrible things and things that are just kind of less than ideal.  There are kids who grow in poverty, or without educated language models, or attending terrible schools and go on to have successful lives and careers.

But there are also kids who don't overcome, because it turns out that they have other inborn challenges, or because life throws things at them that no one could foresee, or because they just aren't that resilient.  And when kids are at the age when one hires a nanny, the parents don't know what the future holds.  So, for many people it makes sense to select the childcare that best supports your child's development, which is childcare that includes fluent language models in whatever language the caregiver is using most of the time.

That doesn't mean that kids don't do well in other circumstances.  Many kids do, just like many kids are raised on junk food and still grow up healthy, or many kids go to terrible schools and still learn, or many kids don't use carseats and grow up without an accident.  But many parents who have the resources that allow them to make choices for their kids make choices that increase the odds that their kid will be happy, and healthy and successful.  Choosing a provider who models fluent language (whatever that language is) increases the odds.  [/quote]
