Raised by Nannies?

Nannies are a lot more important in some households than they used to be.  One of the main advantages of having a nanny is that your child has the opportunity to learn a second language which is so important now a days.   I was a nanny for 2 years and the family I worked for had children who were all fluent in spanish. Even their 5 year old didn't have any problem speaking to me in spanish. I think that in the long run, having a nanny that speaks a second language will definately benefit a child. With the competative job economy, speaking a second language is definately a plus to employers. I speak some spanish to my daughter and she learns a lot from some of the TV shows she watches like Dora. It surprises me how much young children are like sponges. They can absorb any language at early ages. Having a bilingual nanny has it's advantages and I think the benefits outweigh the consequences.
