Sick Days Aren’t a Problem

For a parent leading a busy life it can be frustrating when a child gets sick. They’re torn between the need to care for their child and the need to work. Leaving them in daycare is not an option because of the risk to the other children, leaving the parent scrambling for other options. If there are no grandparents or other relatives living in the area the parent has to stay home with them.

With a nanny, it’s not an issue when the children come down with the flu. They’re at home with the child anyway and the parents can keep their regular schedule. A problem can arise if it’s the nanny that’s sick, but if parents hire a professional nanny service like NJBS a qualified stand-in can usually be found on short notice.

Better Dietary Controls

Parents can get pretty fussy about what their children eat. If the child’s in daycare they may have some control over what they eat, but the choices are limited. Most professional daycare centers will accommodate parents’ wishes when they can, but they have to consider the welfare of the other children as well.
