Is a French nanny or bilingual nanny right for your family?
If you’re considering hiring a nanny, you’ll no doubt be looking forward to the myriad benefits of this childcare solution, from the consistency, flexibility and peace of mind it can provide to the educational opportunities afforded.
At the same time, nannies can offer unique, specialist skills that you don’t always get with the alternatives – such as speaking more than one language. So taking on a nanny is an excellent way of meeting your family’s specific requirements.
And whether you’re looking for a French nanny in London or any other language, you’ll be keen for them to be the perfect fit for your household, so that they become a seamless part of your home life.
Here are some things to bear in mind to ensure that happens:
- From the outset, consider why you want a French Nanny (or a bilingual nanny) to join your household – that way, you’re most likely to feel the benefit of having them. Is it because you or your partner is French and you want your kids to grow up bilingual, for example? Or do you just want them to get a head start on language learning?
- Equally, be very clear on what you need – do you prize the French language (or another language) as your top priority above all else? Are there any other skills you’re prepared to sacrifice as long as your childcare professional is a native speaker?
- Have you spoken to your children to ensure they’re happy with being immersed in practising French (or another language) at home every day? Ask them for feedback once your nanny has been with you a while, to find out how they feel and to be very sure they’re happy with the arrangement.
- Notice whether the prospective nanny speaks French to your child at the first meeting and encourages them to respond (or another language) . Equally, you’ll be able to tell very quickly once the employee starts working whether your child’s level of language is improving, and whether they’ve become more willing to talk to you in French (or another language) , and speak more of it to a higher level with a wider vocabulary than they did previously.
- With the language learning, as ever it pays to be clear on your expectations. Is the employee to speak French (or another language) to your children all the time? If not, how much time will they spend speaking in English or any other language? Are you expecting grammar tuition or are you more interested in having constant conversations with a native speaker to encourage fluency?
- One obvious solution is to have a trial run to see how both you and the nanny get on and to assess whether her or she fits into your family’s routine, before committing to a permanent decision.
You’ll clearly have your own approach to parenting, discipline, childcare practices and so on. So you’ll have to ask some very specific questions at interview stage and have a very open conversation to ensure alignment on all of these things. Your nanny also needs to have the sort of personality that would suit your child and help bring out the best in them.
And this is where a nanny agency can come into its own, with access to huge databases of potential staff members which they can trawl to identify the perfect match.
