Help Finding Filipino Nanny/Babysitter in Cleveland, OH

[snowcat 58]

Hello! I'm a Filipina currently living in Cleveland, OH with my lovely husband. I immigrated to the US in 2017 and in the process of applying for US citizenship!

 

I'm pregnant with our first child (due in March) and I wanted to find a Filipino nanny/babysitter who could help us out because I want my child to be bilingual (Tagalog and English), and having another source of Tagalog would be extremely helpful. I speak Tagalog myself but I hear the child needs a source that constantly ONLY speaks Tagalog for him to be truly bilingual and I'm not sure I can do speak Tagalog full-time with my baby when my husband only speaks English. 

 

I've been having trouble finding Filipino nannies in Cleveland (there aren't a lot of Filipnos here) :( So figured I'd post in this forum in case anyone knew of any resource I can check out. Even a Filipinos in Cleveland group/community would help! It would be nice to find other Filipinos here as well :) 

 

Thank you!

Just realize a Yaya will cost a lot more here.

 

I suggest that you try to involve your husband as well. He can learn with/from the child if he's motivated to do so.
