Nanny or day care, live in or live out, which option is best for you?
When we are looking to employ a care giver, be it for our children, or for an elderly relative, we must always weigh up the pros and cons of all the options. Should our career live in or live out, or is a day care center a viable option. Day care centers for both children and the elderly often work out to be financially in viable, especially if you have more than one child. To find a day care center that caters to your specific needs, as well as having appropriate opening hours, within your district, is no mean feat. Day care centers are often over full, resulting in not enough attention being paid to the children or old people, or simply don’t have any vacancies.
When we look to employing a nanny or career, we have the option as to whether she will live in or out. Live in nannies are more economic, the wage being a lot lower, in exchange for board and food. Finding a day career can often be difficult, as a lot of careers or nannies prefer to work as live in so they do not need to find their own lodgings nearby. If you are a very close family, who enjoys privacy, then a day career would be a better option, as at the end of the day you can enjoy your family and children alone.
Live in nannies and careers come with many more benefits asides the lower wages. They are potentially entirely flexible. Although they will have a set amount of hours to work per week, hours can be rearranged at the last minute as it will cause no complication. Although you must not abuse your nanny, you can also take advantage of being able to go out to dinner or to a show without the kids. When you first employ your nanny, an informal chat should include what normal working hours will be, and how much flexibility is expected, as well as additional duties such as babysitting at night.
The advantages of a live in career are great. When a relative is becoming elderly, we worry that they may slip or fall and not be able to cry out for help. The elderly are renowned for their stubborn nature, believing that they are still capable of doing the same things they did when they were eighteen. Having a live in career puts your mind instantly at rest that there is always someone there in case of an emergency. A live in career position is one of great responsibility, and candidates should be chosen with much care. You can specify all your requirements to the nanny at the time of interview only so that you both will be clear about the needs of each other. Now when you know all the advantages of live in or live out nanny you can better take the decision for betterment.
