[quote=Anonymous]"I cannot fathom who would pay more than $20/hr for a nanny who is illiterate. How you could get to the point of hiring someone at that level without having some awareness of her language skills also escapes me. " Not pp but... Because it is much easier to know what to look out for the second time around. As a FTM honestly it did not occur to me to screen for literacy. I am aware that some people are illiterate but had actually never known anyone before who was. And this is not really normally all that obvious with an infant. By the time it dawned on me that my nanny very likely could not read she had been with us for a long time and we as great in most all other areas. I think what is most dangerous is not knowing a nanny might be unable to read. If you know it then it is not at all ideal but you can compensate by oral explanations or timing medicine doses for when you are home. Again it is far from ideal but most problematic if you do not know about it. [/quote]
