We hired a nanny who was born in South American but raised here (full citizen) who said she was fully bilingual and would spanish with our kids.
She doesn't. She defaults to english - which I understand, but is not what we wanted to hire. If I had to hire again I would hire someone whose default primary language is spanish (which was the case with the nanny who first with our family for three years.)
Both nannies were citizens, paid legally, and paid market rates for our area. But their approach to speaking Spanish with our kids was vastly different.
SPANISH IS A PROPER NOUN. It IS not a verb. Stop murdering the English language. People do not English, French, Spanish or any other language they SPEAK the language.
Furthermore, I agree with OP that they wanted an illegal.
