Childcare
Child-care
A personal assistant- housekeeper - child caregiver / nanny, and cook / chef , are not all one service. They are separate job descriptions which may be mixed & matched so long as the guidelines are clear and both parties are in agreement of the tasks at hand. With that said, I am not a professional nanny....but I do offer child-care services for children aged 3 and up. It is also very important that when I am taking care of children that I am not cleaning or making meals that will distract me from watching over your precious little ones; because chidlren can get into trouble at the blink of an eye - I want my eyes on them.

do you require full time nanny services or full time day care?
​
Nanny services include dressing, feeding & play-time; driving children to appointments, events, and/or school; taking the toddlers for walks or to the park. Helping with their home-work, doing their laundry, cleaning up their toys and rooms.
It is a full-time job and commitment.
Child care is more like babysitting; shorter hours- usually just for the day.

what is child care?
Childcare is slightly different than being a nanny. Taking care of children for an hour or two while you are out of the home is considered "child-care." Child-care is a temporary, short-term, request; it includes feeding, changing clothes, play-time and tucking children in at bedtime.
