NannyMall discusses your choices in childcare

Growth, development, safety and stability for your children are top priority. You are a working parent so what options do you have in childcare?

Family daycare is probably the most cost effective and hopefully licensed. Your child(ren) are most likely supervised by one worker per 4 or more children (not including their own).

Daycare centers are another reasonable choice however you may find the worker turnover is high which could be detrimental to your child if he or she gets attached. If you have 2 or more children in daycare, it may get a little pricey.

Then you have the choice of hiring a professional Nanny.

If you choose to hire a Nanny, you can be assured she (or he) will provide your children with warmth, care, education and consistency. Your Nanny will be there daily for your children with joy in her spirit and a smile to share.

Parents are comforted with the knowledge of their children at home in their most comfortable and familiar environment. With a Nanny there isn't an extra charge (like you would receive from a daycare) if you are going to be home 30 minutes late and there's also little or no concern about other children at daycare who may have been brought in sick and contagious.

You can rest assured your children will be happy and content playing in their own yards, their own rooms, going on special play dates and perhaps even participating in parent approved field trips! These factors allow parents to achieve peace of mind.

Nannies, expensive? No, not really when you consider all the advantages!
Industry standard averages are $10.00 - $14.00 per hour. The Nanny’s rate is based on experience, education and other household responsibilities families expect. The rate may be higher depending on whether you have the Nanny cook and clean for the entire family. The cleaning of the kitchen, the children's rooms, their play areas and laundry are included in the normal pay.

Many Nannies will work for the lower stated pay if you are willing to pay as an incentive, money towards her health/dental insurance.

They always appreciate gas cards, a small bonus, an extra paid day off, etc... Note: pay is always negotiated between family and Nanny before Nanny start date.

We as a Nanny Placement Agency, would like the opportunity to share more information with you about choosing the perfect Nanny!
