Feeling at home in your new home country with a Chinese nanny

Chinese New Year lanterns

A lot of the Chinese families that are contacting us are new to the UK. Relocating to a new country is hard, let alone to a country on a different continent. Relocating with a family with young children is so much more complicated. The issues parents have to deal with are not only diverse, but also complex. Where are the best areas to live with children? What about schools and nurseries in the area? How will we best integrate into the community? Where can I find the best value for money properties? These are only a few of the many questions and insecurities parents face when arriving in the UK. 

At Lotus Kids we would like to take away one of the worries by finding the best suitable Mandarin or Cantonese speaking nannies for your family. Having someone around in your home who understands your culture and speaks your language, will help tremendously with your transition to feeling at home in your new home country. New families will want their children to integrate into the UK culture but at the same time it is important for them to remember where they come from. Continuing to speak the native language is one of the best ways to preserve that identity.   

Our nannies will find a balance for your children between speaking and teaching Mandarin or Cantonese and spending time helping them get used to everyday life in their new environment.
