Adapting the way i speak to adults with communication difficults, write about when i have had to change my way of communication

One of my keychildren within the nursery has a nanny who regulary collects her. The nanny native language is different from the myown so i have learnt to adapt the way i communicate with her in order to make her feel comfortable when listening about the child day.

In the nursery i work in we record the child daily activties, nappy change's, feeds and foods they eat in order to hand over to either the parents or children nanny at the end of the day. As the nanny speak another language i find when reading to her i slow my speech and use eye to eye contact in order to help her understand exactly what i'am saying and also to make her feel comfortable.

I also show her items if i need to explain suitations that i feel she may not understand such as if the child has had her clothes changed throughout the day and i have put dirty clothes back in her nursery bag, i will show her the dirty clothes and also put them in a nappy sack serperated from her clean clothes.

I have tryed to be sensitive to the communication difficulties as i understand this may make her feel uncomfortable, and she also may feel uncomfortable if i was to leave her to read the book herself as it writen in another language. i find face to face contact is needed in order to understand exactly what i'am saying. I have also looked up important phases in her language to help explain if she wasnt sure, but i feel i now have a better relationship with her.

I feel its important to adjust my way of communication and not to be static, it also important to adjust my styles inorder to meet the needs of both the situation and the person of whom talking to.

Have you thought about asking if it is possible to have a interpreter in to help? This may not be something you could have all the time but it may be helpful to make the relationship a better one.
