[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a native Spanish speaker. I speak English and French flurntt. And while I speak fluent English, in an emergency, I would *probably* speak Spanish — 911 can handle that. They have Spanish speaking 911 workers and it would take seconds for that call to be switched over to a Spanish speaking operator. And. Why didn’t you ask to see the car seat your nanny was going to use?! That is on you. She either uses your car or your seat — or you ask to see what she is using [/quote] In this area, there are 911 operators that speak Spanish. In many other areas, especially rural areas, they’re only likely to speak English. In those areas, Spanish would be a factor for 911. Here, not so much. I’d be more concerned about the miscommunications involving the child’s daily safety. Car seat, possible medication overdose, and similar things that could come up would make me very leery.[/quote]
