HOME

Nanny: When you wake up in the morning, expect to find all the nannies right at your doorstep. They will come directly to you! You have the flexibility to provide them with your desired schedule, and they will arrive accordingly. This is truly great for parents, as the "hours of operation" are entirely determined by your family's needs and preferences.

Daycare: Getting your little ones ready for the day at daycare can be quite a challenge. There is a lot to keep in mind - like diapers, bottles, medications, extra clothes, pacifiers, their favorite blankie, bibs, spoons, and more. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could just bring your entire house along to ensure you don't forget anything? Thankfully, with a nanny, you can!

ILLNESS

Nanny: While it may not always be feasible, our desire to support our little ones when they are unwell remains strong. Fortunately, nannies possess the expertise to aid with sniffles and stomach discomfort when the situation calls for it. As parents attend to their professional commitments, nannies can provide the essential care until everyone is back in good health!

Daycare: "Mrs. Jones, I regret to inform you that little Timmy appears to be unwell once again. We kindly request you to promptly collect him from the daycare." Unfortunately, daycare facilities often face insufficient staffing to adequately attend to children who are not in optimal health. Consequently, this situation can present significant inconvenience for parents who find themselves abruptly interrupting their activities to retrieve their little ones from the daycare."

ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Do you have a clear idea of how you'd like your children to spend their day? Wonderful! Simply communicate your desires and expectations to your nanny, and she will prioritize fulfilling them. Is your child in need of assistance with tasks like recognizing letters, writing their name, reading aloud, or potty training? You have the authority to establish their daily routine and structure.

Daycare: At daycare, the daily activities are already pre-planned, which makes it difficult to cater to your particular child's individual needs. This is mainly due to the fact that there are typically 25+ children in each classroom, making it challenging to provide personalized attention. Regrettably, it is virtually impossible to specify the exact types of activities you would prefer for your child on any given day at daycare.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Is there a favorite park near your family? Do you have neighbors with children of similar ages? Would you like your little ones to have play dates with kids in your community? Fantastic! Your nanny can handle all of this for you! Many nannies in Connecticut have connections with other nannies in the area and can schedule play dates, take them to local parks, zoos, libraries, museums - anything that will put a smile on their cheerful faces while learning!

Daycare: While it is important to limit outdoor playtime to the playground, it is essential to acknowledge that this may not provide ample opportunities for children to experience new activities. Moreover, sending them out to the playground with numerous other young children can pose certain risks. The teacher-to-child ratios may not always suffice in guaranteeing the safety of your little ones, as they may be prone to common injuries like bumps, bruises, or even biting incidents.

SIBILING INTERACTION

Nanny: Having a nanny come to your home offers the fantastic advantage of allowing your children to spend quality time together, bolstering their bond and fostering a sense of closeness between siblings.

Daycare: For very valid reasons, daycares find it necessary to group children according to their age. This practice serves as an essential safety measure and is highly logical, especially when supervising a considerable number of children simultaneously. However, it can be quite disheartening for your little ones to spend the entire day within the same facility without ever catching a glimpse of each other.

CALL YOUR CHILDREN

Nanny: Isn't it lovely to gaze out the window and witness the enchanting sight of snow falling? Shall we reach out to your little one and inform them to take a peek outside? How delightful! Your nanny will remain readily available to you throughout the day, ensuring uninterrupted connection with your children. Did your little one attend a special occasion at the Gymboree? Perhaps you could give them a call and inquire about how it went! Children adore receiving calls from Mommy and Daddy, especially when they ask to speak directly with them!

Daycare: Unfortunately, it's not feasible for you to give your little ones at preschool a call. Generally, the classrooms do not possess individual telephones, and this could potentially disrupt ongoing activities that the class is involved in. Regrettably, due to the significant size of classrooms, it is extremely inconvenient for the Directors to permit parents to communicate with their children throughout the day simply to exchange greetings.

ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Nanny: When it comes to playtime, we can engage in various activities tailored specifically to your family. We can have fun with blocks, bring colors to life, bake a delicious cake, explore the pages of a book, and let our voices be heard in joyful songs! All these personalized experiences provided by your nanny will prove to be invaluable to your child's educational and cognitive development. They will be cherished moments, contributing significantly to your little one's growth.

Daycare: It is extremely valid to assert that pre-school teachers have the potential to be exceptional! They have an earnest desire to offer the individualized attention that your children crave intensely. Regrettably, this aspiration is frequently hindered due to the significant number of students they are assigned, making it arduous to allocate ample time for each child.

VACATION NANNY

Nanny: Have you ever found yourself requiring a break from your getaway? Absolutely - it's a common sentiment! It is truly wonderful to have the opportunity to bring your nanny along on your trip, allowing you to spend valuable moments with your little ones while also granting you the freedom to engage in independent activities and acquire some well-deserved relaxation!

Daycare: When going on vacation, it is common for daycares to require payment for holding your "spot" even if you won't be using their services. Essentially, you will be paying for childcare without being able to access it while you are out of town.
