Do You Need to Hire a Summer Nanny?

The summer months pose a real childcare dilemma for working parents of school aged children. Securing consistent daycare for a few months out of the year can feel as challenging as piecemealing summer camp, family and friend care. Fortunately, for parents seeking consistent, convenient and customized summer childcare, summer nannies are available on a full or part-time basis.

Why summer nanny care is needed

During the school year, many parents work around their children’s school schedule, allowing them to utilize school as their childcare arrangement. But once summer starts, that consistent childcare is no longer available and parents are forced to make alternative childcare arrangements.

While summer camps and recreational programs can be a good option, most often these programs don’t run long enough for young children to negate the need for childcare. Since many of these programs are geared towards older children, parents of preschool and elementary school aged children are forced to find before and after camp care or skip out on camp all together and settle for sending the kids to grandma’s.

For parents seeking flexible and consistent summer care, hiring a summer nanny can be the best option. Not only will a summer nanny provide attentive childcare, she can transport the children to and from summer activities, juggle the children’s summer social schedules, do the children’s laundry and keep their areas neat, clean and tidy.

Benefits of summer nanny care

Summer nanny care allows you to customize your child’s summer schedule. With a summer nanny you won’t have to worry about transportation logistics or getting out of the house on time. Your summer nanny can help with that.

And since a summer nanny is available for the duration of the summer, you don’t have to worry about securing care for the days that fall between when one camp ends and the next begins. Your summer nanny works around your schedule and childcare needs.

Summer nannies can take the children on outings and engage them in age-appropriate activities. They can even provide academic support, ensuring that your child retains what he learned through the school year and even build on that knowledge to prepare for his next grade level.

How to secure summer nanny care

When seeking summer nanny care arrangements, you’ll want to begin your search between March and April to ensure your care arrangement is in place prior to the start of summer. Leave yourself between two and eight weeks to find the right nanny for your family. You can begin your summer nanny search by completing our online registration form.
