The dream choice for parents when it comes to
childcare, is childcare in their home.
Imagine, you are running late in an important
meeting at the end of a tiring day.
Which option would you prefer - to sit
back and continue with the meeting, or have
to leave the meeting to pick up your children
from a centre or someone else's home.
Nannies allow for the flexiblity modern life demands -
without you or your children having to make drastic
changes to your routines.
Children cared for at home often have more
consistent care, not only due to the surroundings,
but also nannies tend to stay longer with a family,
than centre based carers do.
Nannies can offer individual care, ensuring
the majority of your children's needs and interests
are met. Many great centres can offer these services
too, but their child / carer ratios are lower than
the average centre and therefore the
cost is much higher.
Currently, there is a push from many Federal MP's and
professional consultants who believe all nannies should
have as a minimum training - a Certificate II and also a
First Aid course. Most nannies meet this criteria now,
as informed employers have demanded these standards
for some time, along with police record screening
(which is law in most states) and drivers history reports.
When you employ a nanny to care for your children you are choosing ~
Flexibility in Care.
An assurance that you have selected a right carer
for your individual family.
Support in managing a busy household.
The cost effective care for two or more children,
taking into account transport and extra costs involved
with high quality centre care and family day care.
Your children to be cared for in their own home.
Your children to have the same carer when they become ill.
A professional nanny who will provide activities based
upon your children's interests, providing personal care.
A professional nanny who will ensure detailed information
is provided to you about your children's progress and needs.
A professional nanny who will provide consistent care,
committing to twelve months or more.
Your children to be involved in the wider community -
going out into the world - rather than it coming to them.
It's so important that children learn how to behave in
public and also access the many wonderous places
waiting for them.
Quality time for your family. For those long work days
that can't be avoided - your children can share lunch
or a visit during the day. You can enjoy more relaxed evenings,
with children who have had their needs met before you walk
through the door, enabling you to create a special bonding
time before bed, reading and sharing stories from the day.
Your children to have the opportunity to build relationships
with their siblings and other children of their own and
different ages.
Most importantly - individualised care. Your children can
enjoy a 'chill out day' after a busy weekend. If they feel
creative at 3pm in the afternoon, they can pull the paints out.
Routines are based around the needs of your family -
not someone elses.
The main point is Nanny Child Care is care for your whole family.
A nanny is the oil in the family's engine which keeps things moving.
The pressure is shared, making life easier for busy parents.
Just remember -
'Not all oils are the same, you have to find the
right oil for your family's engine!'
