HOME

Nanny: You can expect all nannies to arrive at your doorstep bright and early in the morning. They will come directly to you, ensuring utmost convenience. You have the flexibility to provide your desired schedule, and the nannies will accommodate accordingly. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for parents as the "hours of operation" are completely determined by your family's needs.

Daycare: Getting your little ones ready for the day at daycare can be quite a task! It can be overwhelming to keep track of all the things you need to remember - diapers, bottles, medications, spare clothes, pacifiers, favorite blanket, bibs, spoons, and more. Sometimes you wish you could bring your entire house with you to ensure you don't forget anything. Fortunately, with a nanny, you can have that convenience!

ILLNESS

Nanny: While it's our deepest desire to be present for our little ones during their sickness, it's not always feasible. Fortunately, nannies possess ample knowledge on how to assist with common ailments such as sniffles and tummy aches when the situation arises. This way, parents can confidently head to work, knowing that their child will receive the necessary care and support from their nanny until they're back to their healthy selves again.

Daycare: Apologies, Mrs. Jones, but it appears that little Timmy isn't feeling well again. It would be greatly appreciated if you could come and pick him up promptly. Unfortunately, daycares often lack sufficient personnel to care for children who are not in optimal health. This can pose a significant inconvenience for parents who must abruptly interrupt their activities to retrieve their little ones from the daycare.

ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Are you aware of what activities you would prefer your children to engage in throughout the day? Excellent! Communicate your desires and expectations to your nanny regarding your children's activities during the week, and she will prioritize them. Is your child in need of assistance with letter recognition, writing their name, reading aloud, or potty training? You decide on the daily routine that you would like to be followed during your child's day.

Daycare: The daily schedule is already carefully arranged in advance. It becomes challenging to cater to the specific needs of each child since the classes typically consist of 25 or more students per room. It, unfortunately, becomes exceedingly difficult to specify the exact activities you desire to be carried out throughout the day at daycare.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Is there a park near your home that your family loves? Are there many neighbors with children of similar ages to yours? Would you like to enable your little ones to have play dates with kids in your community? That's fantastic! Your nanny can take care of all of this for you! Many nannies in Washington are connected with other nannies in the area and can organize play dates, trips to local parks, zoos, libraries, museums � all the activities that will bring joy to your little ones' faces, while also providing valuable learning experiences!

Daycare: While it is important to limit outdoor playtime to the playground, it is worth considering that this may not provide ample opportunities for children to engage in new activities. Additionally, sending young children to the playground with inadequate teacher to child ratios can pose potential risks, including minor injuries or even incidents like biting.

SIBILING INTERACTION

Nanny: Having a nanny come to your home offers an additional advantage of allowing your children to spend quality time together. By doing so, it enhances the bond and closeness between siblings.

Daycare: For very valid reasons, daycares have to follow age-based segregation protocols. This precaution is implemented to ensure the safety of children and also comes with practicality when supervising a large group of children simultaneously. However, it is indeed disheartening for your children to spend their entire day in the same facility without the opportunity to interact with one another.

CALL YOUR CHILDREN

Nanny: Isn't it delightful to gaze out the window and witness the magical snowfall? Why not give your little one a call and share the joy of looking outside? It's such a delightful experience! Your nanny will remain available throughout the day, ensuring you have uninterrupted communication with your children. Did your child attend a special event at Gymboree? Consider giving them a call and asking about their experience. Children adore receiving calls from their parents and being asked to have a chat with them!

Daycare: Calling your young children at preschool is not a practical option. Typically, preschool classrooms lack personal telephones, and making a call might disrupt ongoing activities. Unfortunately, due to the large size of the classrooms, it is inconvenient for the Directors to permit parents to have conversations with their children during the day solely to exchange greetings.

ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Nanny: Individually tailored to your family's needs, your nanny will engage your children in various activities such as playing with blocks, coloring, baking a cake, reading a book, and singing songs. This personalized attention is priceless and will have a significant impact on your little one's educational and cognitive development.

Daycare: Without a doubt, it is beyond doubt that pre-school teachers have the potential to be exceptional individuals. Their genuine passion lies in offering the personalized attention that your children yearn for dearly. Regrettably, this aspiration is frequently hindered by the overwhelming number of students they are responsible for, rendering them unable to allocate sufficient time for each child.

VACATION NANNY

Nanny: Have you ever found yourself in desperate need of a break after a vacation? Absolutely, this feeling seems to resonate with everyone. It is truly a blissful experience to have the convenience of having your nanny by your side when traveling. This way, you not only get to spend quality time with your little ones but also have the freedom to engage in separate activities and even catch up on some much-needed rest!

Daycare: Frequently, you'll come across situations where daycares require payment to reserve your "spot" even during your vacation. Consequently, you will essentially be paying for childcare that you cannot utilize while away.
