Hiring A Cultural Care Au Pair Instead Of Using Day Care
When you have to be away from your kids, you want to be sure that they are being well taken care of. You
may do your research to find you have many choices as far as childcare goes, and then you may begin to
wonder whether sending your child to day care is your best option, or if you should provide your child with a
cultural care au pair. While they may seem like similar options, when taking a closer look, you will see that
an au pair offers many advantages that a day care may not. Some of the advantages of an au pair versus a
day care include a much more open schedule, a rigorously screened candidate, the possibility of having help
around the house, and the familiarity of having one au pair for the entire year.
When you send your child to a day care, you are stuck with working around the day care?s specific schedule.
Most day cares are only open during business hours during the week and are closed on weekends. If you are
late picking up your child one day, many charge an additional fee. They simply aren?t very flexible when it
comes to what times they are available to watch your children. For many parents, the schedule they need
care for is not always within business hours, and so it makes having your child in day care very difficult. With
an au pair, you have your childcare provider right there with you, and he or she will work around your
schedule. It doesn?t have to be a set schedule every week, and since they live with you, they are always
there if an unexpected emergency arises in the middle of the night and you need someone to stay home with
the kids.
s are put through training and a rigorous screening to ensure that they are well trained in caring for children,
have a clean background check, and are reliable. When you aren?t with your children, you want to know that
they are safe in case of an emergency. Having a child care provider that is always up to date on CPR
certification, first aid training, and any other training your family may need not only gives you peace of mind,
but ensures that your children are always safe. Not only are candidates screened in the beginning, they are
screened throughout the process in case of a rare instance of something showing up in a background check
that didn?t show up before.
When your child care provider lives with you, there is always the opportunity for him or her to help you out a
little around the house. Because they are there for your children, it?s usually best to only ask them to do
things that involve the kids, but anyone that?s a parent knows that there is plenty that needs to be done.
This could helping with the children?s laundry, cooking the children healthy and nutritious meals, or
keeping the play room or other living areas tidy.
In day cares, turnover rates are high, which means that your child is likely to be with a lot of different child
care providers through their day care experience. Even if you keep your child in the same day care for an
entire year or more, there are going to be a lot of different child care providers there that your child will
constantly have to adjust to. With a , you can rest assured that you won?t have to worry about the
possibility of losing your au pair. As you can see, hiring an au pair instead of sending your child to a day care
has many advantages.
