We’ll also help you set up a trial day so you can get a better idea of how your favourite nanny will work with your family before you offer employment.

1. Better concentration
When a bilingual child tries to speak, both languages compete to be spoken. The child has to quickly pick a language and suppress the other and switch between them both in a second. This ability helps children focus better in a noisy classroom and mute irrelevant sounds.

2. Arithmetic and problem-solving
Bilingual children have better mental alertness, which helps them to solve problems more easily. A study by psychologists Ellen Bialystok and Michelle Martin, shows that bilinguals have an easier time dividing objects by shapes and colours than their monolingual peers.

3. Creativity and ability to hypothesize
Since their brains are used to decoding and interpreting two or more languages, bilingual children have an easier time coming up with and explaining scientific ideas.

4. Better language and vocabulary
Bilingual children do better in reading and spelling because of their understanding of sounds and tenses. Which gives them an advantage over others when they start learning languages at school.

5. Brain exercise
In a bilingual child’s brain, both sides are always alert and active, even when speaking one language. Their brains have to work a little harder than monolingual brains, enhancing their cognitive abilities.

6. Better communication
Multilingual children have mastered the art of interpersonal understanding and listening, which makes them better communicators. Growing up in a multilingual environment makes children listen to others and understand their perspectives.

7. Better memory
Learning two languages makes children retain a lot of information and be ready to produce it at will.

8. Faster response
Have you ever noticed that children take a while before responding to a command or an incident? Learning multiple languages forces the brain to switch from one language to another. As a result, the brain gets used to quick responses and shorter reaction times.

9. Improved social life and better family connections
Speaking a second or third language opens up a new world, enhancing social skills. Being able to communicate with people from different cultures offers a confidence boost. It also helps children relate better with family members from that culture.

10. Open-mindedness
Multilingual children are more open-minded and adaptable because they’ve already been exposed to different levels of tolerance. They also tend to be more accepting and understanding of others.
