Spanish For Your Nanny Video
As far as I can tell, this video was not made in Argentina. Nevertheless, it is very funny. It is also very relevant to the experiences of countless expats who have moved to Argentina and hired nannies or other kinds of domestic help.
Over the years, I have known many, many people who have had excellent experiences with their live-in maids and/or nannies. But I have also known many, many people who have been robbed by their hired help. This clip does a great job of summing up the often-awkward relationship between comparatively well-to-do home owners or renters and their hired help. Enjoy.
*Bonus: The teacher in this video makes at least one little mistake when speaking in Spanish about cleaning supplies. See if you can figure out what it is.

Ha! It’s fun to hear the student’s comments at the end: “It’s ‘puta’, with a ‘p’”
LOL, although not so out of reality… Sometime ago I heard one of these questions from a newly arrived English speaker lady in BsAs (the one on how to check the maid´s bag)
Good blog!
Very funny indeed.
I think the little mistake is that she says “disenfectante” instaed of the correct “desinfectante”
Creo que dice “disinfectante” en lugar de “desinfectante”.
nice nice
