It is my personal opinion and experience that nannies can make a huge difference in a family, for the better or worst. I’ve had my fair share of nanny nightmare stories, but have come to know and love having that special person around! I thank my Nanny turned best friend – Rosa, for helping me through so many tough life situations.. I don’t know how I would’ve been able to have my third daughter without her.. and I don’t think the healing process after losing my late husband, for my daughters and I, would’ve been quite as nurtured without Rosa’s love and support.

When you find the nanny that is the right fit for your home and family things just work so cohesively. There are only 24 hours in a day and you’ll find yourself able to fulfill all household, work, charity, and parental responsibilities with that extra help!

Often times women can feel nervous to employ a nanny. Sometimes the anxiety is due to having a stranger in your household/around your children. Other occasions it’s due to the worry that your bond with your children will be tainted if you aren’t their one source of care. The third and worst fear is when us woman (and sometimes men) stress about the idea of other’s judging us.

Let me help dispel some of these negative feelings for you

1. With Nannies and Housekeepers USA you do not have to worry about letting someone untrustworthy into your home. Every single one of their employees has been screened face to face, has received intensive training, and seminar studies.

2. I can say from person experience that your relationship with your little ones will not be anything but close knit and loving with a nanny around. You will be able to put your best parenting foot forward and give your kids ever ounce of your attention, when you’re not stressed about other responsibilities.

3. Those people who choose to look at you in a negative light due to you making the choice to employ a nanny do not need to concern you. People need people and it truly does take a village to raise a well rounded child. If other’s choose to think differently that is nothing for us to be worried about.

Remember, there’s more room in your home than just for ‘Mom’ & ‘Dad’

I want to hear from you in the comments section below! Are you someone who has a nanny? Do you have a beautiful nanny story? Or are you the mom that’s had the nanny from hell experience? Or are you the mom that says, “who am I to have a nanny? What will my family and friends think?”
