HOME

Nanny: First thing in the morning, you can expect all nannies to arrive at your doorstep. They will come to you based on the schedule that you provide. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for parents, as the "hours of operation" can be completely tailored to your family's needs.

Daycare: Getting your little ones ready for the day at daycare can definitely pose a challenge. From remembering essential items like diapers, bottles, medications, to additional necessities such as extra clothes, pacifiers, favorite blankie, bibs, spoons, the list goes on. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could bring your entire house along so that nothing gets left behind? Well, with a nanny, that's entirely possible!

ILLNESS

Nanny: Even though we all desire to be present for our children during times of illness, it is not always feasible. Nannies are often knowledgeable and experienced in assisting with minor ailments such as colds and stomach discomfort. Hence, parents can continue with their work commitments while their nanny provides the essential care until everyone is back to good health.

Daycare: I deeply regret to inform you, Mrs. Jones, that little Timmy appears to be unwell once again. I kindly request your immediate assistance in picking him up. It is undoubtedly challenging for daycares to adequately attend to the needs of children who are not in optimal health. This situation often poses a significant inconvenience for parents, forcing them to abruptly halt their activities and rush to retrieve their little ones from the daycare facility.

ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Do you have a clear idea of how you would like your children to spend their day? Fantastic! Communicate your desires and expectations to your nanny and she will prioritize them. Does your child require assistance with letter recognition, handwriting, reading abilities, or potty training? You have the freedom to decide on the daily routine that you wish to be implemented for your child's activities.

Daycare: At daycare, the daily activities are already pre-arranged, making it challenging to cater to your specific child's individual needs, as the classroom typically accommodates 25+ children. Regrettably, it is highly unlikely to specify the particular activities you desire to be done throughout the day at daycare.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

Nanny: If your family has a beloved park nearby, is surrounded by neighbors with children of similar ages, and desires play dates within the community, look no further! Our nanny services are the perfect solution for you. California nannies are skilled at networking with other nannies in the area. They can coordinate play dates, organize trips to local parks, zoos, libraries, and museums, ensuring that your little ones stay entertained and educated, with smiles on their faces throughout their time spent together.

Daycare: While limiting outdoor playtime exclusively to the playground is necessary, it may not provide ample opportunities for children to explore various activities. Furthermore, it can pose risks for their safety, particularly when the playground becomes crowded with multiple young children. The existing teacher-to-child ratios may not always suffice to ensure protection from typical accidents such as minor injuries or, in worst cases, incidents like biting.

SIBILING INTERACTION

Nanny: Having a nanny come to your home offers yet another outstanding advantage - the opportunity for your children to spend their day together, thus enhancing the bond and closeness between siblings.

Daycare: For very valid reasons, daycares have to separate children based on their age. This measure is essential for the safety of the children and is a practical approach when managing a large group of kids. However, it is indeed regrettable that your children have to spend the whole day in the same facility without having the chance to interact with each other.

CALL YOUR CHILDREN

Nanny: Isn't it lovely to gaze out the window and witness the snowfall? Do you want to give a quick call to your little one and tell them to check outside? Such an enjoyable moment! Your nanny will remain readily available to you throughout the day, ensuring constant access to your children. Did your child participate in a special event at the Gymboree? Why not give them a ring and inquire how it went! Kids adore receiving phone calls from Mommy and Daddy, asking to speak with them!

Daycare: While it may not be convenient for you to reach out to your little ones at preschool, typically the classrooms do not possess their own dedicated telephone, which could likely disrupt ongoing activities. Unfortunately, due to the usually large size of classrooms, it becomes impractical for Directors to permit parents to engage in brief conversations with their children during the day simply to exchange greetings.

ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Nanny: Your nanny will engage in activities tailored specifically to your family, such as playing with blocks, coloring, baking a cake, reading a book, and singing. This personalized approach provides invaluable one-on-one attention, which holds great significance in fostering your child's educational and cognitive development.

Daycare: Undoubtedly, it can be confidently stated that pre-school teachers have the potential to excel! Their enthusiasm to cater to your children's yearning for individualized attention is undeniable, although, regrettably, it is frequently hindered due to the overwhelming number of students they are responsible for. Consequently, the scarcity of time poses a significant limitation.

VACATION NANNY

Nanny: Do you ever find yourself requiring a break from your vacation? Absolutely – it's a common feeling! It's incredibly convenient to have the choice of bringing your nanny along when you travel, allowing you to spend quality time with your children while also having the freedom to engage in independent activities and finally get the rest you need!

Daycare: When you go on vacation, it is common for daycares to require payment for keeping your spot reserved. This means that you will essentially be paying for childcare even though you won't have access to it while you're away.
