[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, by fluent in English, I did not mean that the nanny must read and write in English. I just want someone who will be able to easily communicate with me and my husband, so truly just speaking fluency. Ideally I want someone who will show my child love and teach him to respect himself and others. I am far less concerned about putting him on a strict learning regimen and more that he is cared for and active throughout the day. I only asked about this because I want the nanny to feel that they are paid fairly and that they are a valued part of our family. This person will be taking care of my baby. I never had a nanny growing up and most of my friends haven’t had children yet so I have no frame of reference for what is reasonable. I plan to pay the nanny at least market rate or more. At the same time I want to ensure that I can guarantee long term growth for the nanny. This is our first child. We will likely have more children and so I want to be sure that my husband and I are able to offer the nanny both annual raises and fair raises in the case of additional children. I am hoping that we can have at least a five year relationship with the nanny. I am probably way overthinking all of this but this is my first child and I just want to make sure we find a person he’ll be able to bond with and that will provide me peace of mind when I walk out the door for work each day.

Rethink your position of nanny being able to read and write in English.  Reading to a child is one of the most important and most enjoyable things you can do.  It not a learning regime.  Plus, non-English writing nannies can’t read or respond quickly to a text from you.  [/quote]
