[quote=Anonymous]If she wants to work for American families I would STRONGLY advise her to work on her english.  I hired a nanny who is foreign born, and I love that our kids are growing up bilingual.  But her english is good and we can communicate well.  I didn't hire another candidate who I could barely understand.

She could pretty quickly ramp up her english if she took a couple of classes.  Otherwise her prospects for what she seems to want are pretty slim (I think).

Obviously we don't know everything from just your post, but it doesn't sound like she's taking the responsibilities of a nannying position terribly seriously.  She sounds cavalier about what's involved, how tough it can be to find the right position, what parents look for, and how competitive the market might be.  From the little you've said I would see her as a the kind of cheap, low cost option that folks here are always railing about.  But it would be unsatisfactory for me.  A nanny being able to communicate clearly with me about what's happening with my children (including over the phone or email - not just in person) is absolutely non-negotiable.[/quote]
