Riley Bennett - Seeking Work in Maple Ridge

Nanny Riley

"Riley did an amazing job with my little one. We had him look after her started when she was 6 month old. He was patient and loving. Diaper changes weren't a hassle, she was as happy as could be around him, smiles and giggles. Basically like an uncle at this point even though we don't need him on a regular basis."

- Tera

Nanny Ashley

"She had a great energy and was always team-oriented. She was particularly great with customers and went the extra mile to make someone’s day; she would bring in treats to give to those who had dogs, she would draw cute animals on cups that went out to kids, stuff like that."

How to Hire a Bilingual Nanny in Nova Scotia

Nanny Lane helps you find a bilingual nanny in Nova Scotia who can care for your children in more than one language.

We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.

What Is a Bilingual Nanny?

A bilingual nanny speaks English and at least one other language, such as Spanish, French, Mandarin, or Portuguese, and uses both with the children. Some families want a native speaker to introduce a second language from an early age, and others need a nanny who can communicate with a relative or care for a child who speaks another language at home.

Common Responsibilities of Bilingual Nannies in Nova Scotia

A bilingual nanny handles the usual childcare tasks, such as meals, play, outings, and routines, while speaking the second language during everyday activities. Many also read stories, sing songs, and play games in that language, so children pick it up naturally rather than from flashcards.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Decide how much of the day you want in the second language and how fluent the nanny needs to be. Ask about their background in the language and any experience helping children learn it. Fluency varies, so it helps to have part of the interview in the language. If you need a specific language, mention it in your job description so nannies can find you.

Bilingual Nanny Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

Which languages do you speak, and how did you learn them?
How would you use the second language with my children during the day?
Have you helped children learn or keep up a second language before?
Are you comfortable speaking only in that language for part of the day?
Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
