PARENT INFORMATION
Reasons for having a nanny….
- The knowledge that your child is getting quality care and education at home, in a safe and familiar environment.
- Siblings can stay together.
- You don’t have to take time off work if your children are sick.
- If you are working from home, a nanny enables you to work without interruption. Then, when it’s time for those coffee breaks, you can spend time with your children.
- Routines are well maintained. This is especially important for young babies and toddlers.
- If you work outside the home, you will return at night to a warm and inviting house with happy and settled children.
- A nanny can work closely with your child to ensure they are happy and reaching their milestones.
- Nannies will take your children to activities you plan for your children i.e. music or gym.
- Nannies can perform light housekeeping duties.
Although we have already thoroughly checked the nannies it is a great idea for you to phone at least one of their referees. You are also more than welcome to phone the office for our feedback on the nannies.
The Nanny is your employee. We highly recommend that you draw up an employment contract and complete a job description. We can supply you with templates for both of these and will automatically email these to you when you have made your decision.
