Getting a puppy can be a wonderful addition to your family. Your children can see many benefits when having a dog in the home like higher self-esteem and more compassion. Before you head down to the local animal shelter and adopt a pup, there are some considerations if you also employ a nanny to work in your home and care for your children.
While many nannies may seem superhuman, they are in fact mere mortals and will get sick from time to time and miss work like the rest of us. So it is best to be prepared for that day (or days) when you may be without your regular caregiver.
If you employ a nanny for in-home childcare, you may be asking your caregiver to supervise your children’s online learning. Your nanny could thrive in this new role as they likely have a built up trust with your children and have a good relationship with them. However, it’s important to set expectations, clarify responsibilities, and revise your work agreement to help ensure fairness and keep communications open.
