How do bilingual nannies differ from other nannies?

A bilingual nanny is a nanny that speaks two languages, and a multilingual nanny typically speaks 3+ languages. The most requested bilingual nannies are nannies that speak both English and either Spanish, French, Arabic, or Mandarin. However, we have nannies on our roster who speak a range of other languages, including Russian, Farsi, Hindi, Italian, and more.

Bilingual nannies perform all the typical duties of a regular nanny but also help children learn a second or third language by speaking to them regularly in that language and adding in frequent opportunities to learn and practice the language in their day-to-day activities.

Who is a bilingual nanny right for?

Although a bilingual nanny is an asset for any family, there are two main scenarios where clients tend to specifically seek out a bilingual nanny.

One is a situation where one or both parents speak a second language and/or spend a significant amount of time in a country where the primary language is different than the child’s primary language. In this case, the bilingual nanny is beneficial as she can not only help support the child’s language development but also assist in travel arrangements and navigating foreign cities etc.

The second scenario is one where the parents may not speak the second language of choice but would like their child to learn a second language and be supported in this from a young age. The best-case scenario is one where a child is taking structured language classes in school or through a well-regarded institution and this is supplemented by immersion learning with the nanny. Countless studies demonstrate the benefits of learning a second language and bilingual nannies can help support a child in this journey.

What are the benefits of hiring a bilingual nanny?

There are a multitude of benefits of hiring a bilingual nanny, including cognitive benefits, cultural benefits, and even economic benefits. Studies show that children who learn a second language benefit from increased focus, better memory, higher confidence, stronger problem-solving abilities, and better academic performance long-term. Culturally, a bilingual nanny helps children learn about different customs and countries from a young age; this helps inspire curiosity and tends to make children more open-minded, social, and empathetic in the long term. Finally, while a bilingual nanny may require a higher salary than a single-language nanny, families will save money on language tutors and other supplemental language programs.
