It’s a fact of life that there are only 24 hours in a day, and when you have kids it can seem like time is running on fast-forward. That is, of course, when it doesn’t feel like it’s being stretched to breaking point and beyond.

Do you lead a busy lifestyle? If you have children then of course you do. Perhaps you get up early each weekday so you can drive miles out of your way to take young ones to a day care centre, once they’ve been washed, dressed and fed. Then there’s the reverse trip to contend with, and yet another regular battle with traffic to trudge through. You couldn’t possibly stay an extra twenty minutes at work to complete that final important task. You’ve got to go on the collection run and leave early, every day, for most of the year.
Or maybe you would simply like regular assistance with your children so you have extra time for your partner, hobbies and interests, desire less stress, or you enjoy a family that’s so large it’s impossible to keep constant track of all of its more adventurous members.

Whether you hire a nanny that will live with you and so be there the moment your children wake up, or one that can be relied on to turn up at your door just before you intend to leave, you’ll enjoy the benefit of a carer that’s proven to be capable of crafting an extremely personalised relationship with your children, and within the comfort of your family home.You’ll also find that you’ll be able to accomplish far more in a single day (even if you count relaxation as something that can be an accomplishment – and you should) and that’s invaluable. Time, after all, is a resource so precious that it can be priceless. Once it’s spent it can never be replenished.

With a nanny you’ll have more hours to do as you please and will never have to stop what you’re doing to make your way to an expensive care centre or nursery, and take home a child suffering with a minor tummy upset. If you’ve got children of various ages you’ll also no longer have to contort your year around the school holidays, or worry about finding a suitable sitter at short notice for a much needed date night. You’ll still be able to enjoy being a loving, caring parent, but with the freedom to still be able to live your life the way you want to live it. Simply put, a nanny helps you get more from each day’s 24 hour period and that’s something that really should be afforded.
