[quote=Anonymous]OP, Kensington MB here. Your rate is perfectly fine - in fact, you should have your pick of several relatively experienced nannies who have at least some level of English. I would be concerned about the language barrier. It is tricky to manage the employer/employee dynamics - especially when trying to discuss parental preferences/beliefs/philosophies about feeding, scheduling, discipline, activity, behavior, etc... I think you may find the language barrier to be a much more important issue than you realize. Our nanny is fairly fluent in English and we don't have any trouble in person, but on the phone - especially if she's stressed in any way - it gets significantly harder. So if she has to call me when a child is sick, it's a good deal more difficult to manage that conversation (just a for instance). Anyway, good luck but don't feel that you cannot find an english speaking nanny at that price point. [/quote]
