Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s Eve are all fast approaching. Having flexible, quality nanny care plans in place and ready to go at a moment’s notice can elevate the season for parents and children alike.
The holidays can be unpredictable, 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
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 is the ultimate in adaptable childcare. During a season that combines both scheduled school closures and impromptu social plans, FlexCare truly shines as a cut above the rest. Every FlexCare nanny is employed and insured directly by Oliver’s Nannies following a rigorous interview process, thorough background check, and physical, and every family is matched with nannies that will fit seamlessly into their household.
5 Benefits of FlexCare During the Holidays
- Giving you a Break and Time to Prepare.
It’s no secret that the holiday season can be a busy and sometimes overwhelming time for parents. With commitments like planning and organizing, social events, and gift shopping, you might feel like you have little time to spare. Many parents continue to contend with work commitments at this time of year, too. Flexible nanny care gives you the opportunity to get organized and enjoy some well-earned rest and recouperation. For example, your FlexCare nanny might accompany your child to a classmate’s holiday party, while you indulge in some self-care or shop for gifts.
- Helping Create Cherished Holiday Memories.
Not only can hiring childcare at the holidays give you the chance to take a break, but your nanny can help you cultivate beautiful memories as a family. FlexCare nannies are here for you, and are ready to work around your schedule. Perhaps you need your nanny to prepare some lunch for the children, while you take a moment to spend quality time watching a festive movie or decorating your home with them. Or maybe you’d like your nanny to engage your children in some enriching seasonal activities while you prepare Thanksgiving dinner.
- Allowing Parents to Enjoy Childfree Social Events.
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 while you’re still at work, 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.
- Private Nannies Taking Holidays.
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.
