[quote=Anonymous]As an English speaking nanny who works mostly with toddlers and preschoolers, I strong push for early language learning. However, the fact I speak English, doesn't mean they will learn it immediately or not have any problems. Personally, I wish I spoke more languages. I speak some French, and was able to help my employer when we went to Geneva and she need translations. However, I'm not fluent enough to teach it more than simple words or phrasing. I can fully understand why parents would want a non-native English speaker. I've watched other nannies in the park with their charges, who will say the same work or phrase to them in English and Spanish to teach it. I'm amazed how much the young children know. My cousin grew up speaking Russian and English, and now at age 7 is a master at both languages, and now teaches me stuff. [/quote]
