Au Pair or Nanny - Just for Summer
Considering a summer au pair or nanny? If you are a working parent it could be the answer to your prayers.
The summer months can be particularly nerve wracking for working parents. It means that you need to find three months of safe, reliable, enjoyable, temporary full day child care. That is not an easy task!
If you are lucky enough to have this type of childcare available in your town, chances are you need to be an early bird to get in before everything fills up. No wonder the word summer instills fear in the hearts of many parents!
A summer au pair or nanny could be your answer. This type of reliable, part-time childcare in the comfort of your own home has become more popular than ever before. Additionally, having a summer au pair or nanny means that your children can enjoy the summer in the familiar surroundings of their own home and enjoy the activities they like best, like going to the park, the beach or just playing with friends.
A summer au pair or nanny's duties can include:
- Caring for and playing with your children
- Driving your children to summer activities
- Preparing healthy and fun meals for your children
- Straightening up your children's rooms
- Doing your children's laundry
- Assisting with light household duties
Note that most au pair programs are designed for children ages two and up. Nannies, on the other hand, care for children of all ages. However, you will need to be sure to select a nanny whose experience and maturity are appropriate for an infant.
With a summer au pair or nanny you can feel confident that your child is having a great summer, and doing the things they enjoy most. Plus, you will forever end that feeling of dread you feel when someone mentions summer break.
