Why employ a nanny?

  • Nannies provide one to one personalised care in the family home, where your child will benefit from plenty of attention and stimulation due to the low ratio of child to carer.
  • Employing a nanny can be a more flexible and convenient form of childcare.
  • You will have a higher degree of control over your child's routine, diet, activities and play environment.
  • Your child has their own toys, books, food etc close to hand.
  • Employing childcare in your home allows your child to adjust gradually to you returning to work.
  • Siblings can be looked after together.
  • A nanny can look after your children when they are unwell.
  • A nanny with a childcare qualification offers reassurance that the nanny is committed to their profession and that they have been trained in areas such as nutrition, development and learning through play.
  • Your child is cared for in their own community and can easily take part in local clubs and activities such as mother & toddler groups, swimming, musical classes etc.
  • A loving nanny very often becomes a member of the family.
