Infant safety classes in Spanish

[Anonymous]

Wonderful and loving foreign and undocumented nannies work all around me every day, PP. Some are friends. It doesn't change the fact that they are being used and exploited by their employers.

A nanny across the street eats lunch in my NF's driveway because the family she works for is kosher and they will not allow her to bring her food into their house or eat their food. I know another amazing nanny who is also undocumented and makes $8 an hour with no benefits and no overtime.

Ask any nanny - we all have stories to contradict the PPs three legal foreignnannies.

It's crazy on this forum! I have a legal nanny with a green card that I pay on the books with a contract. Spanish is her first language and also she doesn't need an infant CPR class (my kids are older) but I'm sure she would prefer to take one in spanish. She uses spanish speaking medical care providers and also a spanish speaking mechanic for her car that I happen to know. It's still her preferred language and I get that. She speaks English and can certainly speak in English to any hospital or 911 caller. Back off.

OP - try the local hospitals - they might have what you are looking for.

I took the CPR and First Aid in Spanish (my first language, even though my English is very good -not perfect- but still good enough to attend college, etc.) You people are rude!
Seriously because someone is not fluent in English doesn't mean that the person is undocumented.

Here it's the info:

You needed to know the English words to assist the person in need as well as ask other for help (pointing to someone in the crowd and telling them to call 911 and come back to you) And as another poster pointed out, you also need to relay what you did to the paramedics when they arrive.


And do you seriously believe the VAST majority of non-English speaking nannies are here legally? Really?

1. How's that I was "misguided" by taking a class in Spanish? I'm bilingual and I am able to take the class in either language, English/Spanish.

2. Why do you assume that if I take the class in Spanish, then I don't know the terminology in English? I'm totally capable to call 911 myself or ask somebody else, as well as to give a full report to the paramedics, parents or anyone else.

3. I'm capable of practicing CPR and First Aid, for that you don't need to learn the procedures, techniques and protocols in any particular language.

4. And so what if the majority of nannies are undocumented? If they do their job very well and pay taxes with the ITIN number?

5. Just in case you're about to make another poor assumption, I'm a US citizen. Very thankful with the families that I've worked for, supporting my education.

Because the PP is only fluent in English, she can't understand how someone who grew up speaking Spanish can master both languages.

OP here. My word! Thank you, thank you to those who posted helpful comments and tips. To those among us so quick to judge, the class is for my mother-in-law who is coming to visit to help with the baby. I thought this forum would be a good source of information. And it was, no extra charge for the resentment!

Oh, stop the fake sanctimony! Why did you post on a NANNY forum then? You easily could have posted on the General Forum. You posted here because you assumed that we would know where the good Spanish CPR classes were because all nannies are Spanish speaking foreigners and illegals.

You are a racist, OP.

Why would you think that this forum would be a good source of information on Spanish Speaking CPR classes? Because all nannies are Spanish speaking in your mind?

Why would you think that a nanny forum is a good source for information about Spanish CPR classes? Seriously, OP, that is stunningly insulting. All nannies are not Spanish speaking. I am an American nanny with a degree in Early Childhood Education. Why would you think I would know about Spanish CPR classes if you weren't assuming all nannies are foreigners - and Spanish speaking foreigners at that?
