With Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve just around the corner, having reliable and adaptable nanny care arrangements can make the season more enjoyable for both parents and children.
During the holidays anything can happen, and schedules rarely stay in line with the norm. A flexible nanny care service can dramatically minimize stress and alleviate anxieties for parents, leaving them safe in the knowledge that reliable childcare is just a phone call away.
Introducing FlexCare by Oliver’s Nannies of North Charlotte
FlexCare is Oliver’s Nannies’ signature approach to flexible nanny care, and it gives families access to both advanced booking and short notice childcare at the holidays.
Available on a fully pay as you go basis, you can arrange as little or as much childcare as you need, as and when you need it (ideal for last-minute social plans!). This is a great option for covering planned school closures over the holidays.
FlexCare offers unparalleled adaptable childcare. It excels during times with planned school closures and unexpected social plans, making it stand out from the rest. Each FlexCare nanny is directly employed and insured by Oliver’s Nannies, following a strict interview process, comprehensive background check, and physical examination. Families are paired with nannies who fit perfectly into their household.
5 Advantages of FlexCare During the Holiday Season
- Give Yourself a Chance to Prepare for Upcoming Events.
The holiday season is often a hectic and occasionally overwhelming period for parents. Between planning, organizing, attending social events, and shopping for gifts, it can seem like there’s hardly a moment to breathe. On top of that, many parents are still juggling work responsibilities. Having flexible nanny care can be a great help, allowing you to stay organized and enjoy some much-needed relaxation. For instance, your FlexCare nanny could take your child to a classmate’s holiday party, giving you the chance to focus on self-care or finish up your gift shopping.
- Helping Create Cherished Holiday Memories.
Hiring childcare during the holidays offers the chance not only to take a much-needed break, but also to create treasured family memories. FlexCare nannies are available to accommodate your schedule. Perhaps you’d like your nanny to prepare lunch for the children while you enjoy some quality time watching a festive movie or decorating your home together. Alternatively, your nanny can engage your children in enriching seasonal activities while you prepare Thanksgiving dinner.
- Giving Parents the Opportunity to Enjoy Social Events Without Kids
Not all holiday events are child-friendly, and parties can run late. Whether you have a pre-planned New Year’s Eve party in your diary, or decide last-minute to go and celebrate with friends in the lead up to Christmas, a FlexCare nanny will be ready to step in at a moment’s notice. What’s more, with many couples enjoying a little extra time off work, the festive season can be a great opportunity to enjoy some extra date nights (planned or impromptu!) Having a FlexCare plan in place will mean you can hold space for your partner and get the quality time together you deserve.
- School and day Care Closures.
If your child or children’s school or day care closes for the holidays and you’re still working, you might find yourself needing to arrange extra childcare hours. With FlexCare, you’re free to organize nanny care either in advance or at the drop of a dime. So, whether you need regular childcare on days you’re in the office, or impromptu nanny visits while you’re sick or need to finish an important project – we’ll have you covered.
- Holidays for Private Nannies.
The holidays are a time of year when many families need their nanny most. But understandably, many private nannies like to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with their own loved ones. By arranging childcare at the holidays with Oliver’s Nannies, you’ll have access to a range of expertly matched and thoroughly vetted local nannies to support you over this busy period. Even if your usual nanny is taking time off, you’ll be quickly matched with a replacement that fits your unique parenting style and wishes.
