What We Offer:

Nanny + English Training
At Multilingualista, we understand the challenges of parenting, especially when raising a multilingual child. Our training equips your nanny with the skills to support your child’s English language acquisition, making the process enjoyable for everyone.

Enrollment is Always Open
You can enroll at any time directly on our website. While we occasionally promote seasonal discounts through social media, the best prices are always available through your preferred nanny or au pair agency. Social media is primarily used for advertising, but agencies consistently offer the lowest prices for Multilingualista training.

If your chosen agency isn’t offering our training yet, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’ll personally contact them to ensure they can provide you with the special Multilingualista experience and pricing.

Three Steps to Establish a New Language at Home Without the Overwhelm:

Step 1: Strategy Consultation

The journey begins with a personal consultation with Barbara, where you’ll create a strategy that aligns with your long-term goals for your child’s multilingual development. Wondering if you should introduce English or a heritage language first? Curious about speaking multiple languages with your baby? Barbara’s expertise will guide you in making these important decisions.

Need help finding the right nanny? Barbara will teach you how to find the best candidates—hint: it’s not just about native speakers! Already have an English-speaking nanny? We’ll show you how to get them on board quickly with our Switch&Play method.

Step 2: Switch&Play Certification Training

This is where the magic happens. Using our Switch&Play method, we’ll train your nanny to help your child acquire language naturally through everyday activities and play, without formal teaching. The training is flexible and accessible, designed to fit into busy schedules, with just 15-25 minutes of daily learning. Your nanny (and you!) will have one full year of access to all training materials, ensuring the learning fits your pace.

Step 3: The +English Year Challenge

We don’t stop after the initial training. With our +English Year Challenge, both you and your nanny will receive continued support for a whole year to ensure language is seamlessly integrated into your home. This includes monthly live sessions with Barbara, a wealth of resources, and curated activities that make learning fun and effective for your child.

Imagine how confident your child could be in multiple languages by September 2025 if you start today!

The Benefits of Our Switch&Play Nanny Training:

• Add a language at home with ease: Your nanny or au pair will become your child’s language champion, supporting their English development through interactive, personalized play. One-on-one interactions are far more effective than traditional group-based language learning.

• Enhance all the languages spoken at home: By relying on a qualified nanny to support English learning, you can focus on connecting with your child in your own authentic parenting language(s) without the added stress.

• Start early for the best results: The window before your child turns 6 is the most critical time for effortless language acquisition. With our program, you can take full advantage of this period, potentially saving years of future language learning.

• Relieve parenting burnout: A trained nanny can lighten your load, allowing you to rest while your child engages in playful language learning at home. No need for rush hour, parking hassles, or rigid class schedules.

• Enjoy the journey: Our Switch&Play method ensures language learning is a natural and enjoyable part of your child’s daily routine. You’ll be surprised at how much fun you and your nanny will have while integrating English into your home.

What if our nanny has an accent?

Everyone has an accent, and that’s not just okay—it’s a beautiful part of our identity. Accents reflect who we are and where we come from. Trying to erase or emulate a specific accent can sometimes feel like cultural submission. At Multilingualista, we believe that recognizing and validating accents is one of the best ways to embrace diversity.

Your child will grow up with their own unique accent, shaped by the rich linguistic environment you create at home. What’s most important is that your nanny communicates fluently, effectively, and comfortably in English. By fostering diversity in accents and languages, we take a powerful decolonial stance, promoting respect and inclusivity in every home.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Shouldn’t I hire a teacher or private tutor instead?
For young children, a couple of hours of language instruction per week is both too much and too little. Children thrive on short, frequent interactions in a playful context, which is why having a nanny as a language champion is more effective.

Can a nanny really teach my child a new language?
There’s no formal teaching involved! Our Switch&Play method incorporates language learning into everyday activities and play, making it a natural, enjoyable process for your child.

Can’t I wait until school for my child to learn a language?
Waiting can mean missing the critical early years for language acquisition. One-on-one interaction with a nanny in the security of your home is more effective and less stressful than a full immersion experience at school.

Is it expensive?
While paid childcare isn’t for everyone, the long-term benefits of multilingualism are invaluable. Our program offers a cost-effective, family-friendly way to establish a language at home in just one year.

How does Switch&Play work?
Our method is based on playful, one-on-one interactions that happen during everyday activities. There’s no need for special materials—just books and toys you likely already have. It’s all about the human connection.
