In episode 3 of Playdate , Layla and I discuss some of the reasons that a family would hire a nanny.
Whether it's for extra support or to ensure a smoother daily routine, nannies can offer a range of benefits for families and our experience alone reflects a variety of reasons.
A Smooth Running Household
Of course one of the main reasons families hire nannies is to keep their household running smoothly. It's a given that with busy schedules, juggling work, school, and household chores, it’s easy for things to get overwhelming. And as expected, a nanny provides an extra pair of hands to help with childcare, meal prep, school runs, and other daily tasks. Alleviating pressure on parents and taking some of the mental load that comes with the pursuit of ensuring the house stays in order.
Stay-at-home parents can benefit too. Many people assume that if a parent is home at all day, that they don't need extra help. But the reality is, parenting is hard and any parent can feel overwhelmed by the demands of looking after children, 24/7 or otherwise. A nanny can offer invaluable support, allowing stay-at-home parents to focus on quality time with the children, whether there are multiples or not, or on personal tasks while knowing their children are well-cared for. The peace of personal time and the freedom from laundry, dinner prep or other household chores cannot be ignored!
Flexibility and Stability with Nannies
Modern family life doesn’t always fit into a 9-to-5 routine. Whether parents work unpredictable hours, travel frequently, or have demanding careers, childcare needs to offer the flexibility to meet their needs. More than just adjusting to schedules, nannies provide children with stability—something especially crucial for younger ones who thrive on consistent care and routines.
For families in creative industries, business, or shift work, a nanny isn’t just a childcare choice, but rather a reliable presence ensuring their children feel secure and well cared for. This tailored support makes balancing work and home life far easier.
