Families who
use a nanny could be described in many ways and fit many profiles. The benefits and reasons to choose a nanny are numerous, some of which are listed below.
- Having a carer come to your home means your child is less disrupted and feels much more secure in his/her own environment.
- Your child receives 1:1 interaction and attentiveness allowing for many more stimulating experiences and outings
- Siblings can stay together.
- The hours and days can be as flexible or as structured as you like.
- You don’t need to have a day off if your child is unwell.
- There is no dropping off or picking up of children, saving you quality time.
