[quote=Anonymous]We had a spanish speaking nanny for our twins for the first 3.5 years of their lives. Her english was passable but far from good. The kids did not seem hampered in their verbal development at all, and they speak some spanish (and understand a LOT), which I think is very helpful in terms of brain plasticity. When the kids were going to be going to preschool we made a change. The nanny was fine for communicating primarily with us, but being the liaison with school staff would not have worked well (and there were some other factors.) It is a relief to be able to communicate more clearly with our current nanny, but we also miss many things about our first nanny and the kids' spanish skills are definitely declining.[/quote]
