[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not necessarily.

We hired a nanny who was born in South American but raised here (full citizen) who said she was fully bilingual and would spanish with our kids.

She doesn't.  She defaults to english - which I understand, but is not what we wanted to hire.  If I had to hire again I would hire someone whose default primary language is spanish (which was the case with the nanny who first with our family for three years.)

Both nannies were citizens, paid legally, and paid market rates for our area.  But their approach to speaking Spanish with our kids was vastly different.  [/quote]

I'm in France and am a trilingual nanny with French (mother tongue), English and German. I currently work in an English speaking daycare each morning speaking English, look after German children two days a week who I speak English to and English children who I speak French to three days a week.

I do not mix up my languages - only very occasionally when I'm deep in thought or when I'm caught off guard. I think the nanny you've hired is not very professional, or you haven't made it clear enough to her how important Spanish was to you.

So I have to agree with OP, sounds like the MB wanted someone she could possibly take advantage of.[/quote]
