A little bit about me

I'm a recent graduate of Brown University with 8 years of childcare experience, including 3 long-term nannying positions. Due to COVID-19 I recently moved back to Philadelphia to be closer to my mother and am currently searching for a full-time position with a new family. I can drive (I have had my license for 7 years) and can swim (and have gone through lifeguard training). I speak both French and Spanish conversationally. I have also worked full-time over empty-scheduled summers, so I am quite good at finding activities, and I already have experience working with a family during the pandemic. I also have experience with managing the home, laundry, groceries, and errands for families. I am tidy, patient, and of sound judgement, and I would be happy to provide references for my character and experience. Please let me know if here is any other information you would like from me, and I hope to talk to you soon!

How to Hire a Bilingual Nanny in Elkins Park, PA

Nanny Lane helps you find a bilingual nanny in Elkins Park, PA 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 Elkins Park, PA

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.
