In many New Zealand households mornings are chaotic. Adults are trying to get ready for work; children need to be fed; dressed and ready to leave; often before they are even properly awake! The dishwasher needs stacking and the washing is still in the basket! Research has shown that children do best in calm and unhurried environments, yet we are often exposing our children to huge amounts of stress every morning. Employing a Nanny can take the stress right out of those busy times. You can leave for work calmly and confident that your children will be well cared for in their home environment. The dishwasher and washing will also be attended to!

Many of our Nannies are able to be flexible with their work times to accommodate changes in parents’ work schedules. This can also include weekends (by arrangement). Children’s schedules can also be catered for - changing sleep patterns, allowing children to rest when they need to.

Keeping children happy and healthy is a goal for most parents so limiting children’s exposure to viruses, colds and infections certainly makes sense. Having a Nanny ensures your child will not be in close proximity of a child with a temperature or sucking on a toy that another child has just sucked! If your child does become unwell, they can stay tucked up in their own bed with the comfort of their Nanny with them. Parents do not need to take time off work, which obviously keeps the boss happy!
