If you need expert childcare with the added benefit of improving your child’s understanding of a foreign language, then a bilingual nanny can be invaluable.

Studies have shown that being brought up in a bilingual environment not only builds fluency but also helps improve general cognitive functions in children.

The obvious benefits of growing up bilingual are:

• Educational
• Practical
• Emotional
• Cultural

Many different families have benefited from employing our nannies:

• Families who are planning to relocate abroad and wish to give their child a linguistic advantage before the move.
• Families who wish to give their child an educational advantage at school and for their future development
• Families who speak an additional language to English, and wish to boost their child’s fluency for family reasons.

A Bilingual Nanny’s Role

Our professional nannies are fluent in English and speak many languages, including French, Russian, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese.

A bilingual nanny’s primary role will be educational; she will speak to your child in the foreign language and also give informal lessons where necessary. She can also help with the typical duties of any other childcare professional. These duties may include:

• assisting with homework
• helping with extracurricular activities
• helping with playdates, outings and other social activities
• picking up and collecting children from school
• carrying out light household tasks such as laundry
• preparing simple snacks/meals for your child.
