Why Should I Hire a Nanny?

One of the most pressing questions for working parents today is, “What do I do about childcare while I am at work?” Some families opt for a daycare or preschool, and while some choose private childcare. Private childcare can come in the form of a willing family member, or a paid professional. There are so many things to consider when searching for childcare for your little ones, and it can seem absolutely overwhelming. The President of London Bee Premier Nanny Services, LaKeitha Baugh, says, “I know all too well, from my own experience, that it is not easy to part with your child, especially, first time moms.  It is also not easy to leave your child with a stranger, but sometimes, life’s demands do not always allow us the luxury of staying home with our children.  Also, at London Bee, we are aware that there are plenty of times, when you just need a ‘break!’  I know from personal experience that trying to find someone to take care of your child in your own home is not an easy task. This is why we offer both short and long-term childcare options, from Babysitters to Nannies.” 

“I know all too well, from my own experience, that it is not easy to part with your child, especially, first time moms.  It is also not easy to leave your child with a stranger, but sometimes, life’s demands do not always allow us the luxury of staying home with our children.

Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Nanny 

1. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep Deprivation is very real, and is the number one common complaint of new mothers. New mothers often suffer from lack of appropriate sleep, which can lead to altered moods, anxiety disorders, indecisiveness, inability to think clearly, unhealthy eating, weight gain, and stress.  A lack of sleep is detrimental to our well being, so if you are regularly not getting adequate sleep, you are risking your overall health.  Consider hiring a night nanny to care for your baby, while you get uninterrupted sleep and recuperate at a faster rate.  Once the baby is ready to sleep through the night, many night nannies can offer successful sleep training for the baby as well!   

 2. Me Time

 If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have the energy and strength needed to take care of the others who need you most. Whether it is so you can meet up with a friend after work, or do your grocery shopping in a more relaxed-state, consider hiring a nanny or babysitter so you can set aside time for you.   

3. Flexibility

When you hire a nanny, you make the schedule, and benefit from the flexibility. We make it very easy to work with your nanny on creating a schedule that can change as your needs do. When you have an early meeting, you won’t have to scramble to find a babysitter.  Also, when your child is sick for a couple of days, you won’t be stuck paying day care fees, while also taking time off from work to stay home with your child. Kids get out of school at 3, but your workday doesn’t end until 5, or maybe later. An after-school nanny can help cover the extra time, so you don’t have to worry about what your children are up to until you get home.  Your after-school nanny can help your kids with their homework, so you can focus on spending quality time with them when you get off of work. Your nanny works from your home, so you don’t have to worry about picking your child up or dropping them off. All of our Nannies here at London Bee must have a drivers licence and a clean driving record- you can rest assured that if transportation is part of your nanny’s duties, your children are in good hands. 

4. Care for Your Kids

Nannies make their careers out of caring for and interacting with children. Your Nanny will seek out developmentally appropriate and stimulating activities that are tailored to the individual needs of your children. Sensory play, compassionate conversation, and a creative learning environment are all things that your nanny will bring to the table. You can be confident that your children will grow and learn under the watchful care of a good Nanny. Time won’t be wasted, and your children won’t be bored.

5. Save Money

If you have several kids, it can often be cheaper to hire a nanny than to send them all to day care. Plus, you can be assured that the quality of care you are receiving for your money is far greater than the average daycare. You’ll be getting personalized care, in the comfort of your own home, with a Nanny your children will quickly become attached to. This consistency alone is worth every penny.

 

There are so many great reasons to hire a nanny or babysitter, and your reasons may differ from everyone else’s. Regardless of your own desires and motivation for finding a Nanny, one of the top reasons to hire help for your family from London Bee Premier Nanny Services is that we make every effort to find you the most qualified, loving, and trustworthy individual(s) to take care of your child.  We strive for you to “bee happy” and keep your children safe and loved in their own environment.
