[quote=Anonymous]i don't judge parents who hire non-English speakers if the non-English speaker can UNDERSTAND the parents (even if not comfortable speaking the language). I was rather appalled at a next door neighbor who had hired an Indian nanny from a caste that was not "allowed" to learn to read or write, and the nanny spoke little to no English. How in the world could that nanny communicate with anyone in case of an emergency? It's not like there are a slew of 911 operators fluent in her specific Indian dialect ready to answer the call, and in addition to that, the nanny literally could not recognize the numbers 911 in order to make the phone call. Now THAT is a case where I assumed the parents were paying the woman next to nothing and didn't care so much about the safety issues.[/quote]
