Yes, my wife is Filipina. We think it is extremely important our kids have a strong sense of their cultural heritage and language is so important. For the last 3.5 years, we have been extremely lucky in that my children have had a Filipina nanny. She wants to head back to the Philippines now and we would like to find someone else who would like to look after my children long term.
Interesting, a great many times when traveling abroad and found ourselves lost, we have always been able to find a Filipino who can help us. Tagalog is up there with English, Spanish and Chinese as one of the most useful languages in the world!
