For many parents, finding the balance between life, work, and childcare can be a challenge. That’s why lots of parents turn to nannies. Nannies are a flexible and reliable form of childcare, and there are many benefits to employing a nanny. Nannytax, the UK Market leader in nanny payroll, explores what these key benefits are…
A nanny’s work hours are set by you as the employer, making nannies the most flexible form of childcare. Overtime is another option unique to a nanny if an unexpected commitment arises or if your child is unwell and needs to stay home.
Personalised care means that your nanny will tailor everything to suit your child’s needs and preferences, from daily routines to favourite snacks, and more importantly, one-to-one care provides emotional security and stability for your child.
A nanny can lighten the parenting load, giving you maximised quality time with your family when you are not working. For example they may help out with homework, perhaps do some light housekeeping, meal prep, etc. (Please note these additional duties must be outlined in the nanny employment contract).
When you look for a nanny you have the choice in exactly who looks after your child. Perhaps you want your child to be fluent in more than one language, or need a nanny trained to care for children with special educational needs, the choice is yours.
“One of the benefits of hiring a nanny is that we can plan the whole day around the child and their interests. If they develop a new enthusiasm for animals, I have the time to create activities and games, plan days out and find books to encourage them to learn something new, as a nanny is able to focus solely on one family and their wishes.”
