[quote=Anonymous]I was a second language (English) nanny to a girl of 15 months. I was with her 3 days a week for 4 hours. She started understanding me within two or three months, but she only started replying to me in English literally two or three weeks ago, and she's just turned three - but I think it's got to do with fact that I always understood what she was saying so she never had a necessity to try and speak English to me. I and some Peppa Pig on YouTube were her only sources of English, so I think what you're proposing is very doable and beneficial, but your nanny has to only ever speak the second language so that your child learns to associate the nanny with a different language environment.
