[quote=Anonymous]Don't let these people bother you on this board. Many of these nannies are afraid they will lose their job as more and cheaper competition heads to the country.  Welcome here by doing things native to her culture.

[quote=Anonymous]We are lucky enough to be able to bring a great nanny from my home country to care for our 3.5 y.o. and hopefully a baby (on the way). She speaks English but could use lessons, so I'm planning to offer to sign her up for some. Other than this, what else would be helpful to make her feel at home more quickly in a new country? She will be welcome to eat breakfast and dinner with us most work nights and of course we can advise her as things come up but I'm trying to think of what else would be helpful.

Also, I'm looking for tips on affordable but clean and safe buildings in /near Adams Morgan/Dupont/Kalorama/West End/Woodley, as well as tips on shopping that may not be obvious to her (she can come to Costco with us but I'm not sure how much time she'll want to spend with us outside of work!! I think I would want privacy / a rest, no matter who my employers were).[/quote][/quote]
