The Benefits of having a Hybrid Nanny for school aged children, and how this can positively impact your whole household

Harmony at Home Hampshire Nanny Agency are often contacted by concerned parents who cannot find before and after school care for their children, and are simply unable to drop off and collect their children during their own working day. Unfortunately, there are very few candidates who are able to work such short hours in the morning and afternoon, with a large break in the day.

A solution to this problem is the Hybrid Nanny. We have recently seen a huge increase in families who are making the decision to merge all their childcare and household help needs into one role. With just one candidate fulfilling all tasks, this not only proves more cost effective, but is also a huge benefit when children are off sick or sent home from school at short notice.

Your hybrid nanny will undertake a range of tasks in order to increase their hours to full days. Whether this is just 1 day, or up to 5 days, to suit your needs. The most common requests include a Nanny Housekeeper candidate who will do the morning and afternoon school run, with housekeeping (either light cleaning or full house clean), batch cooking for the whole family, dog walking, running errands and PA duties during the time the children are at school.

Harmony at Home Hampshire offer a completely bespoke service, so we can of course tailor your hybrid role to your specific needs. Whether this be for a Nanny groom, Nanny tutor or Nanny family assistant.

Feedback from local Hampshire families has been hugely positive, and we often hear the same comments on how much this has impacted their home and work lives. The most talked about benefits include, the Nanny being able to collect the children at short notice, or perhaps run that forgotten bag into school, meaning parents are having to take less time off work. The Nanny being able to build a wonderful bond with their children and becoming a trusted member of the family team to attend class assemblies or sports matches. Having someone who is happy to take the lead on all the school emails and reminders of what to bring in and when, managing the family/school diary and ensuring nothing is forgotten. With one family telling us just the management of endless party invitations and present buying alone being life changing! The overall benefit regularly stated, is the advantages it brings having just one candidate assisting with all your needs. Thus removing the necessity to have a separate cleaner and dog walker coming into your home, as well as any late stay clubs your children may have to currently attend.
