HOME

Nanny: Every morning, without fail, the nannies will be at your doorstep. They come directly to your home, ensuring convenience for you. You have the freedom to provide the schedule that suits your needs, and the nannies will arrive accordingly. This aspect is truly beneficial for parents as the "hours of operation" are entirely determined by your family's preferences.

Daycare: Getting your little ones up, dressed, and prepared for the day at daycare can be quite a formidable mission! Remembering all the essentials, such as diapers, bottles, medications, extra clothes, pacifiers, favorite blankie, bibs, and spoons, can be overwhelming. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could bring your entire house with you to ensure you don't leave anything behind? Well, the good news is that you can achieve this with the help of a nanny!

ILLNESS

Nanny: It is our utmost desire to provide support for our children during times of illness. Nevertheless, it may not always be feasible to do so. Nannies possess extensive knowledge on how to alleviate common ailments such as sniffles and tummy aches. Hence, parents can confidently attend to their work responsibilities while their Nanny ensures the proper care is given until everyone's health is fully restored.

Daycare: Apologies, Mrs. Jones, but it appears that little Timmy is not feeling well once again. Would you kindly come pick him up immediately? Unfortunately, daycares often lack sufficient staff to attend to children who are not at their best. Consequently, this can pose a challenge for parents who need to abruptly halt their activities and retrieve their kids from the daycare facility.

ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Do you have a clear vision of how you want your children to spend their day? Awesome! Share your preferred activities and goals with your nanny, and she will prioritize those. Is your little one in need of assistance with recognizing letters, writing their name, improving reading skills, or undergoing potty training? You have the authority to set the daily routine for your child's day.

Daycare: Unfortunately, it is impossible to designate the specific activities you desire for your child each day at daycare as the daily routines are already pre-planned. Moreover, the large class sizes, typically consisting of 25 or more children per classroom, limit the daycare's capacity to attend to the individual needs of your child.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Is there a favored park near your family's residence? Are there numerous neighboring families with children around the same age as yours? Would you like to facilitate play dates for your little ones within the community? Perfect! Your nanny has the ability to orchestrate all of this for you! Many of the nannies in Rhode Island establish connections with other nannies in the community and can organize play dates, accompany them to local parks, zoos, libraries, museums � fulfilling all the activities that bring joy to their cheerful faces and promote learning simultaneously!

Daycare: Although outside playtime should be limited to the playground, it is important to consider that this restriction may not provide enough opportunities for children to explore new activities. Additionally, sending children out to the playground can pose certain risks, especially considering the high number of young ones present. The teacher to child ratios may not always be sufficient to ensure the safety of your little ones, as they may experience common injuries like bumps, bruises, or even biting incidents.

SIBILING INTERACTION

Nanny: One notable advantage of having a nanny visit your residence is that it allows your children to spend quality time together, bolstering the bond and closeness among siblings.

Daycare: Daycares have very good reasons for separating children by age. This precaution is crucial for the safety of children and highly practical when it comes to monitoring large groups of children simultaneously. However, it is disheartening that your children spend the entire day in the same facility without ever catching a glimpse of each other.

CALL YOUR CHILDREN

Nanny: Isn't it a wonderful sight to gaze out the window and witness the falling snow? Shall we contact your little one and inform them to glance outside? What an enjoyable experience it would be! Your nanny will continuously be within reach throughout the day, ensuring you have constant contact with your children. Has your child recently attended a special event at Gymboree? Perhaps you could give them a call and inquire about how it went! It brings immense joy to children when Mommy and Daddy reach out and ask to speak with them.

Daycare: It's not feasible for parents to make phone calls to their young children at preschool. Usually, the classrooms lack personal telephones, and such interruptions would likely disrupt ongoing activities in the class. Regrettably, due to the large size of the classrooms, it would be considerably inconvenient for the Directors to permit parents to have conversations with their children during the day simply to exchange greetings.

ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Nanny: Let's engage in block play, let's engage in coloring activities, let's engage in baking a cake, let's engage in reading a book, and let's engage in singing! All the activities your nanny will be doing with your children are customized to suit your family's needs. This focused attention is extremely valuable and will be immensely impactful on your little one's intellectual and mental development.

Daycare: It's incredibly safe to assert that pre-school teachers have the potential to be exceptional! They genuinely strive to offer the personalized attention that your children crave dearly. Regrettably, due to their heavy workload, it is frequently challenging for them to provide this individualized focus as they are responsible for numerous students and inadequately allocated time.

VACATION NANNY

Nanny: Everyone needs a break from their usual routine, including vacations. It's such a pleasant feeling to have the opportunity to bring your nanny along when you travel, allowing you to spend quality time with your children while also enjoying some freedom for independent activities and well-deserved relaxation.

Daycare: Many times, it is common for daycares to require payment to reserve your "spot" while you are on vacation. Essentially, you will be paying for childcare even though you won't have access to it while you are away.
