[quote=Anonymous]Now that my daughter is in school, my husband and I are letting go of our nanny. We are from Nigeria, have been in the U.S. about 10 years. I am a pediatrician and my husband is a college professor. Although our accents are still very evident, we speak English well because we are well educated. However, when people call us to get a reference they question our integrity. One person flat out accused us of being a fake reference. My nanny was a joy to work with. She is also of minority descent, though she is Black American. She has asked if my sister can take the calls instead because she has been here much longer her accent is not so strong. I am not entirely opposed to the idea. It is frustrating to feel like we have to lie. Also,if she got caught pretending someone else was me it could do more damage than it may be worth.[/quote]
