Nanny vs. Daycare: What Is Best for Your Child

Nanny vs. Daycare: What Is Best for Your Child

Your children are always at the top of your priority list. You are responsible for their well-being, education and happiness and you always make sure to acquire the best of everything for them. This applies to child care as well; because when it comes to leaving your child in someone else’s care, there is no such thing as being too careful. That’s why Mumzworld, in partnership with ServiceMarket, the leading platform for home services in the UAE, brings you the pros and cons of hiring a nanny versus opting for daycare.

 

Pros and Cons of Daycare

Your other choice of child care is sending your kids to a daycare or nursery. There are many schools of thought on the subject, with plenty of advantages and disadvantages of this option.

 

Downside
  • The one main problem at daycares that many parents complain about is the amount of times their child comes home sick. When you mix children together, there’s bound to be an outbreak of something sooner or later. There are thousands of germs everywhere, on their toys and games, and it’s very likely they pick something up.
  • If your child is sick, you may need to keep him home from daycare, so they don’t spread it to their classmates. This could force a parent to take a day off as well, which could be an inconvenience if there’s an important work appointment to attend. Fortunately, in that case, babysitting agencies on Service Market can send in help!
  • If you’re ever running late at work, you might be charged for keeping your child and their teacher waiting. This is an instance where organized times might be a hindrance because there’s no room for flexibility. These extra costs could add up over time.

 

  • Employees at the daycare center won’t care much for routine check ins. So, you won’t be getting much information about child’s behavior and development besides a general report according to their set schedule.

 

  • The teachers and caretakers at the daycare won’t also be open to constructive feedback. They might be messing up, but your only solution to such a problem would be to find a better daycare for your child.

 

Highlights
  • Your child will be able to develop their social skills in a classroom with other kids his or her own age. These skills form the foundation for later relationships with family members, co-workers and friends.
  • Another positive aspect behind daycare is your child will have access to many books, games, and toys. They’ll be able to play for hours without getting bored. You won’t have to worry about buying a lot of stuff to keep your child entertained.
  • You can rest assured that every teacher at the daycare is licensed and certified and has been interviewed and vetted before being employed. Knowing that your child is in such good hands will give you peace of mind when you drop your kid at the daycare every day.
  • Organized hours mean that you won’t have any surprises or delays when you’re on your way to work and dropping your child off at daycare. You can leave your home and pick up your child every day at the same time, which can add stability to your life. A routine is very important when it comes to your child’s and your peace of mind.
  • Even if a teacher calls in sick, there are plenty more to pick up the slack! Your child will always be taken care of at daycare by professional, able teachers. You won’t ever have to worry about finding last minute help.

 

Pros and Cons of a Nanny

When it comes to hiring a nanny, there are several factors you must check up on, such as references and past work experience. Here are some advantages and disadvantages to hiring a full-time or part-time nanny in Dubai.

 

Downside
  • You must do all the research about the babysitter’s background if the agency doesn’t provide you with enough information. If you’re not getting a nanny through a reliable platform like Service Market, you’re responsible for researching the nanny’s history and getting past references.

 

  • The cost of hiring a live-in nanny in Dubai might be costly, but that one on one attention your child is getting is priceless. It helps to receive quotes and go through all the options before making your decision.
  • You are relying on one person if you choose a live-in nanny in Dubai, so if the caretaker is ever sick or needs a day off, it will be an inconvenience to you and your children. Luckily, the agency you work with can send you a babysitter for the day if that should happen.

 

Highlights
  • Your children can get used to having the same caretaker around, which could build a stronger bond and have a more organized household.
  • The nanny will know your children almost as much as you do; she’ll know what their likes and dislikes are, their food preferences, any allergies, all nighttime rituals, and their daily habits. When someone familiar is taking care of your children, you’ll have peace of mind and overall comfort.
  • Live-in or live-out nannies from a good agency in Dubai will be qualified and well-trained in child development. You can ask them for help at any point and they could educate you on certain key lessons to implement with your children when they’re not around.
  • When the kids have an activity or are busy with one of the parents, a nanny is able to run errands for the household and do some light cleaning. Imagine coming home to well-behaved children and a tidy home; it’s enough to make up for a long, hard day at work.

 

  • When you have a nanny at home, there are more chances for you to work together as a team to care of your children. You can routinely check in so that both of you get comfortable asking questions and discussing concerns. You could even set aside a specific day to have a real conversation about the children.

 

Happy Child, Happy Life

If you think the arrangement you chose for your child is making them happy, that’s all that matters. Whether or not you prefer one on one care and attention or if you’d like to put your child in a filled classroom, both choices have their good sides. Make sure you choose quality places by checking on references and you’ll be good to go! If you are feeling parent guilt for choosing to find help to take care of your child, please understand that most times it’s in the best interest of you, your child and your family to get help when you need it.
