HOME

Nanny: At the break of dawn, expect a fleet of nannies arriving at your doorstep. They will come straight to you! You can dictate your desired schedule, and they will adhere to it without fail! The flexibility is a boon for parents since it allows your family to completely set the "hours of operation" as per your convenience!

Daycare: Getting your little ones up and dressed for daycare can prove to be quite a challenge! Ensuring that you have remembered everything - from diapers to bottles, medications to extra clothes, pacifiers to favorite blanket, bibs to spoons, and more - can be overwhelming. Wouldn't it be convenient to bring your entire house with you, just so you don't forget anything? Well, with a nanny, you can do exactly that!

ILLNESS

Nanny: Being there for our little ones when they are unwell is a priority for all of us. Yet, circumstances may prevent us from fulfilling this responsibility at times. Nannies are well-acquainted with providing care for common ailments such as sniffles and tummy aches, ensuring our children feel better in no time. With nannies in place, parents can attend work without worry, as they can rely on their nanny to provide the necessary care until everyone's health is restored to normal.

Daycare: I apologize, Mrs. Jones, but it appears that little Timmy is not feeling well once again. Would you be able to come and pick him up right away? Unfortunately, daycares lack sufficient staffing to adequately care for children who are not in optimal health. This can certainly pose challenges for parents who have to interrupt their tasks and rush to the daycare to retrieve their little ones.

ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Do you have a clear idea of how you want your children to spend their day? Wonderful! Share your desires and expectations with your nanny, who will prioritize meeting those goals. Are you looking for assistance with teaching your child letter recognition, writing their name, reading aloud, or potty training? You have the authority to outline the daily routine you wish to establish for your child.

Daycare: At daycare, the daily activities are already pre-planned, which makes it difficult to tailor them according to your child's specific needs. This is mainly due to the high number of students in each classroom, often exceeding 25. Regrettably, it becomes practically impossible to designate and cater to the specific activities you would prefer for your child on a daily basis at daycare.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

Nanny: If your family has a favorite park nearby, would you like your nanny to arrange play dates for your little ones with neighbors who have children of similar ages? That's great! Our nannies in South Dakota are skilled at networking with other nannies in the community. They can organize play dates, take your children to local attractions such as parks, zoos, libraries, and museums, ensuring that they remain entertained and engaged while learning at the same time. Your nanny will provide a nurturing environment that keeps a smile on their bubbly faces.

Daycare: While it is important to restrict outside playtime to the playground for safety reasons, it is worth considering that this limits the exposure to new activities. Although playing on the playground can be enjoyable on a summer day, it may not provide enough variety for children. Additionally, sending children to the playground with many other young ones can pose potential dangers, considering that the teacher to child ratios are not always sufficient to ensure the safety of your little ones. It is essential to protect them from common incidents such as bumps, bruises, and even biting.

SIBILING INTERACTION

Nanny: Having a nanny come to your home offers yet another fantastic perk - the opportunity for your children to spend quality time together! This not only strengthens the bond but also cultivates a sense of closeness among siblings.

Daycare: For very good reasons, daycares implement the practice of separating children according to their age. This is primarily done to ensure the safety of the children and is highly practical when managing a large group of children simultaneously. However, while this approach is necessary, it can be disheartening for your children to spend the entire day in the same facility without having the opportunity to interact with each other.

CALL YOUR CHILDREN

Nanny: Isn't it delightful to peer outside and discover the snow falling? How about giving your little one a ring so they can marvel at it too? It's such a delightful experience! Your nanny will remain readily available throughout the day, giving you uninterrupted connection with your children. Did your child recently have a special occasion at the Gymboree? Why not give them a call and inquire about how it went? Children absolutely adore it when Mommy and Daddy reach out to have a chat with them!

Daycare: It is not feasible for you to contact your young ones while they are at preschool. Typically, the classrooms lack personal telephones, and such an attempt might disrupt ongoing activities. Unfortunately, due to the larger size of the classrooms, it is highly inconvenient for the Directors to permit parents to communicate with their children throughout the day just to exchange greetings.

ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Nanny: "Let's engage in block play, let's get creative with coloring, let's whip up a delectable cake, let's explore the wonders of books, and let's lift our voices in song!" Every activity that your nanny will engage in with your children is tailor-made to suit your family's unique needs. This personalized attention is priceless and will greatly contribute to your little one's educational and cognitive development.

Daycare: It's undeniable that pre-school teachers have the potential to be exceptional. Their genuine passion lies in fulfilling children's craving for personalized attention. However, due to the overwhelming number of students they are assigned, they often fall short on time to provide the desired one-on-one interaction.

VACATION NANNY

Nanny: Do you ever find yourself craving a break after your vacation? Absolutely - we all do! It's incredibly convenient and refreshing to have the flexibility of having your nanny join you on your trip. This way, you can enjoy quality time with your little ones, while also having the freedom to partake in independent activities and obtain the much-needed rest you deserve!

Daycare: When you take a vacation, it is common for daycares to require payment to reserve your "spot" even if you won't be using their childcare services during that time. Consequently, you will essentially be paying for childcare without actually being able to utilize it while you are away.
