The Great Benefits of Nannies Over Day-Care

Hiring a nanny should not be viewed as the pricier version of day-care – for 2 or more children it may be cheaper. Add on the government rebate and things look really good. There are some fabulous benefits a nanny offers; not only for your child, but for yourself, your lifestyle, and your peace of mind.

Julia Quinn-Szcesuil compiles a great list of 67 reasons a nanny can be a wonderful addition to your home and family. The convenience of a nanny working from your own home, and the individual attention and care your child receives is a big plus. Here are a few more of our favourite points from the list.

  • Your kids eat familiar foods, and you don’t have to pack lunches
  • Your nanny can double as a babysitter
  • Your nanny can help your kids with homework after school, allowing you quality time with them in the evening.
  • If you have multiple children, a nanny may be cheaper than sending each one to day-care

As well as the practical benefits, nannies can bring a wonderful presence into your home and family, and there are many more reasons for considering them as an alternative to day-care. For all 67* reasons, read the full article.
