Let's start with the fact that, ideally, the child should be with his mother at least up to three years old. Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity not to work all this time. Firstly, in 3 years almost any qualification is lost, and upon returning to work, it is necessary to re-learn everything. Secondly, in practice, a rare employer welcomes such a long period of absence from work.
Almost all cages accept babies from two years old. What should a mother do in the period from one and a half to two years, when parental leave is practically not paid? A grandmother or grandfather who wants to take care of grandchildren while parents are at work is salvation.
Especially lucky are those parents who have good relations with their retired parents. And if their views on raising children coincide, then this is just fine. What should those who do not have relatives who want to look after their children to do? Working mothers and fathers are forced to hire a nanny. Choosing a nanny is a complex issue that requires the special attention of all family members. When choosing a nanny, you need to communicate, compare, ask various questions, evaluate your resume and try to understand what kind of person is in front of you. It is very difficult to entrust your child to a stranger, to let him into your home and your life.
Babysitting services and the help of grandparents may also be needed in the nursery and kindergarten period of the child. Most of the children who go to kindergartens often get sick at first. According to many pediatricians, this is primarily due to the stress that a home child experiences when visiting kindergarten. At the same time, we must not forget about the great benefits of socialization of the baby, who must learn to communicate with peers. The nanny can help to take the child away from the kindergarten, as well as provide insurance in case of emergency when the child needs to be picked up urgently. Indeed, many parents work far from the kindergartens where they take their children and from their place of residence, which significantly complicates the process of driving to kindergarten.
The best way to choose a nanny for a child is through an acquaintance. If this person worked for your friends or good acquaintances, and they can give a positive recommendation, then it will be easier for you to make this difficult decision. When hiring a nanny through an agency, you should use the help of professionals. Almost all agencies are advised to place hidden cameras in apartments and houses where a hired nanny and a child will spend time. Unfortunately, this is necessary to ensure the safety of the baby.
When thinking about choosing a nanny and choosing a kindergarten, take a look around. Perhaps you think of your non-working girlfriends or good acquaintances sitting at home with their young children? Perhaps they can become good nannies for a reasonable fee? Many young mothers do just that, cooperating with each other and helping each other in raising children. As a result, many problems and difficulties recede into the background. The main thing to remember is that time is fleeting and any period of life ever ends. It is replaced by another, no less complex and interesting.
