I agree with the previous poster that this business is all about references and referrals. Our nanny is not fluent in English, but she was recommended by a friend and that was more important to us than English. Plus, your native tongue could be an asset for some families. Good luck, OP!

If you received a sucky education in your country, how do you know vs=versus? (The other poster does suggest v-versus).



This is so rude....why are you working as nanny, when you think you are most educated one.

I am not a nanny. Where do I think/write I'm "most educated one"?

We have a fully bilingual nanny.

Op here I can understand the difference between teaspoon vs tablespoon.


What are the abbreviations for each?

You don’t need fluency, you just need to be able to speak conversational English which means you can have basic everyday conversations in English.

We have a nanny who is not fluent in English. She is fluent in two other languages and one of those is our native language. She’s older and is a great caregiver and we trusted her worth our dd who needed medication administered multiple times a day and it’s been working out wonderfully.
Do take the advice of the pp and start getting some babysitting jobs to get to know families.
