[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$15.40/hr for all that, OP? The poor woman is getting screwed. And your kids are getting screwed if they end up needing "speech therapy", because they aren't learning much English.[/quote]

The woman isn't getting screwed.  She doesn't speak English and doesn't drive.  Those people are not going to make as much as someone who drives and speaks English.

Did you ever consider that the employers want their children exposed to another language?  And where is your proof that kids who grow up with non English speaking nannies need speech therapy?   Do your research.  [/quote]
Proof? Open your eyeballs, woman.

Only in this country is a foreign accent considered grounds for speech therapy.  My son had caregivers who spoke to him in our native language exclusively till he entered kindergarten.  He is a star student now, many years later. He has a slight accent in his perfectly fluent English, which only makes him a target of too much girl talk.  And if his mother had a lucrative career in this country with her much-heavier accent, then so could he.  His K teachers did suggest speech therapy to "make him sound American" and were politely told to go back to their day jobs. [/quote]
