HOME

Nanny: You will have the convenience of having all nannies arrive at your doorstep promptly in the morning. They will come directly to you! You have the flexibility to provide your desired schedule, and they will come accordingly. This arrangement is fantastic for parents, as the "hours of operation" are completely designated by your family!

Daycare: Getting your little ones ready for the day at daycare can be quite a task! Remembering everything they need, from diapers and bottles to medications and extra clothes, can be a challenge. Don't you wish you could bring your entire house with you to ensure you don't forget anything? Well, with a nanny, you can!

ILLNESS

Nanny: It is a common desire to be present for our children when they are unwell, but unfortunately, it is not always feasible. In such situations, nannies possess a great deal of expertise in aiding with minor ailments like runny noses and stomach discomfort. Thus, parents can confidently attend to their work responsibilities while relying on their nanny to provide the required care until everyone is back to their usual state of health.

Daycare: "Mrs. Jones, I regret to inform you that your little Timmy appears to be unwell once again. Kindly arrange to pick him up urgently, please. Daycares often lack sufficient personnel to attend to children who are not in their prime condition. This can pose a significant inconvenience for parents, as they have to interrupt their activities abruptly to retrieve their little ones from the daycare."

ACTIVITIES

Nanny: If you have a specific idea of how you want your children to spend their day, do you know what you would like them to be engaged in? Excellent! Communicate your desires and aspirations to your nanny for your children's daily activities, and she will prioritize them accordingly. Is your little one in need of assistance with letter recognition, writing their name, reading aloud, or even potty training? You have the power to determine the structure of your child's day and establish the routine you deem fit.

Daycare: The daily schedule is already prepared in advance, making it difficult to customize activities according to your child's specific needs, especially considering the large class sizes, which often exceed 25 students per classroom. Regrettably, it becomes practically unfeasible to specify the exact types of activities you would prefer to have incorporated into your child's daily routine while in daycare.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES

Nanny: Is there a favorite park near your family's residence? Are there many neighbors with children of the same age as yours? Would you like your little ones to have the opportunity to plan play dates with kids in your community? Excellent! Your nanny can take care of all of this for you! Numerous nannies in North Carolina are part of a network with other nannies in the area, allowing them to schedule play dates and take your children to local parks, zoos, libraries, and museums. They will ensure that your little ones are engaged with activities that bring a smile to their faces, all while learning at the same time!

Daycare: While it is important to restrict outside playtime to the playground, it is worth considering the limitations this may impose on children's exposure to new activities. Although playing on the playground can be enjoyable on a summer day, it may not offer a diverse range of experiences. Moreover, sending children out to the playground with numerous young ones can pose potential dangers. The teacher to child ratios may not always suffice to ensure adequate protection for your little ones, safeguarding them from common mishaps such as bumps, bruises, or even biting incidents.

SIBILING INTERACTION

Nanny: Having a nanny come to your home offers another amazing benefit - it enables your children to spend the whole day together! This enhances the bond and closeness among siblings, which is an invaluable aspect of having a nanny.

Daycare: For very good reasons, childcare centers must adhere to the practice of separating children based on their age. This measure is essential for ensuring the safety of children and is highly logical, especially when supervising large groups of children simultaneously. However, it is indeed regrettable that this approach results in your children spending their entire day in the same facility without ever getting the opportunity to interact with each other.

CALL YOUR CHILDREN

Nanny: Isn't it delightful to glance out the window and witness the enchanting sight of snowfall? Would you be interested in reaching out to your little one to inform them about the captivating view outside? What a delightful idea! Your nanny is always within reach throughout the day, ensuring you have continuous access to your children. Has your child recently participated in a special event at Gymboree? Why not ring them up and inquire about how it went! Children absolutely adore it when Mommy and Daddy call and express their desire to talk to them!

Daycare: Calling your young children at preschool is not a practical option. Typically, preschool classrooms lack personal telephones, and it would likely disrupt ongoing activities. Regrettably, due to the large size of classrooms, it is highly inconvenient for directors to accommodate parents wishing to speak with their children during the day merely to exchange greetings.

ONE ON ONE ATTENTION

Nanny: Let's engage in block play, let's explore colors, let's create a delicious cake, let's enjoy a book, and let's sing together! The activities your nanny will undertake with your children are customized to your family's unique needs. This personalized attention is priceless and will have a profound impact on your little one's educational and cognitive development.

Daycare: Undoubtedly, pre-school teachers have the potential to be exceptional! Their utmost dedication in offering the sought-after individualized care, which is strongly desired by your children, unfortunately remains constrained due to the overwhelming number of students assigned to them. As a result, the precious time necessary for providing such attention frequently becomes scarce.

VACATION NANNY

Nanny: We all experience the desire for a break within a break, don't we? It's truly wonderful to have the opportunity to bring your nanny along on your travels, allowing you to spend quality time with your little ones while still enjoying the freedom to engage in independent activities and find some much-needed relaxation.

Daycare: In many instances, it is common for daycares to require payment for reserving your "spot" even when you are on vacation. Essentially, you will be paying for childcare without being able to utilize it during your absence.
