I find it shocking how some people think that someone who is ESL or isn't fluent in English is somehow incapable of dealing with an emergency or not very smart. This is just untrue and many of the ESL immigrants to the country are just as smart and capable if not smarter than the American nannies being rude about them.

CPR/First Aid certifications are offered in other languages. 911 and the hospitals have immediate translation services. My nanny was not fluent in English. She was CPR/First Aid certified, had raised 3 kids herself, and was one of the brightest people in childcare that I have ever met. In comparison, I interviewed quite a few native English speakers who were dumber than doornails. [/quote]

I will only hire American born PROFESSIONAL nannies because alot of the immigrants I've encountered appear uneducated and have to many cultural differences regarding parenting. I'm not going to offer an above average rate to a nanny who can't speak fluent English.

Alot of parents hire immigrants because it will save them a few bucks.

Also, many mothers like to think their nanny is the "brightest" but the nannies I've encountered would put your nanny to shame. The ones who've raised their own children, CPR/First Aid certified, awesome references and a teaching background who completed early childhood education. I'm sorry your children aren't worth it. (didn't come out of my mouth.)

This is my opinion you can take it or leave it but it isn't going to change.[/quote]
