Childcare Provider vs. If you have asked a teenager to baby-sit previously, you probably know that he or she would provide services once or twice a week only. Of course this depends on her availability and your terms and relations with her family.
The basic purpose of babysitting is to let parents have a quality time together when going out. Parents get break from kids and the babysitter gets money for her services. There are both active as well as passive babysitters. Active ones play with kids while passive ones quietly supervise them ensuring their safety.
The babysitter comes to the home whenever her services are required and parents inform well in time to allow her to come prepared. User Name. Remember Me? Mark Forums Read. Thread Tools. Find all posts by legomom QualiTcare Advanced Daycare.

These tasks lessen the parenting load for you. You set the hours for when you need a nanny. If you start work later in the day and work evenings, you can find a nanny who will work with your schedule. If you are stuck in traffic, your nanny will be at home waiting. Most nannies stay with their families from birth through school age.
Turnover at daycare centers tends to average at least one caregiver leaving each year or sooner which may be emotional for your child. With a nanny, you don't have to prepare or pack up for the day. No lugging pumped milk or packed lunch across town with you. With nannies come parenting style conflicts and issues with regulation. Here's why you may not want to have a nanny.
If you and your nanny disagree on topics such as discipline, sleeping, or other parenting issues, it may be a conflict and make for a difficult relationship. It is best to find a nanny who is on the same page as you in terms of parenting style. Consistency between caregivers is important for child development.
Nannies usually cost significantly more than daycare centers. Nanny costs vary depending on location, the number of kids, and other factors. If you want a nanny, but cannot afford an individual nanny, think about a nanny share where two or more children share one nanny.
If a nanny consistently shows up late, then it makes you late for work. Since the nanny is coming to your home you cannot control their tardiness. If your nanny gets sick, takes a personal day, or has to leave town, you will have to stay home or find backup care. Nannies are not required to have extra education on child development or specific certifications. Many nannies are CPR certified, but not all. Screening nanny candidates and running background checks are up to parents.
You should keep your nanny "on the books" and then pay taxes on your nanny's salary. When hiring a nanny, you should discuss sick time and vacation days and create an agreement or a nanny contract. Also, as the employer, you should give your nanny feedback and have open conversations about their work. When choosing a childcare situation for your family, sit down and make a list of what is most important to your family.
Be honest with yourself about your needs and wants and think about things that may upset or frustrate you. Remember that no decision is permanent and you can always change your situation based on your needs or your child's needs. Get diet and wellness tips to help your kids stay healthy and happy.
