How a busy Year End can affect your family
In the age we live, we find more and more families have a need for 2 (or more) household incomes. This means Mom and Dad need to find a delicate balance of providing, as well as keeping a relationship-building-routine with the children.
The quality time you spend with your family must always be the best moments of your life. As a parent I understand we also like the mental challenge, stimulation, and fulfilment of our careers and what is gives us.
I must agree, that juggling parenthood and pushing through our careers is a lot to handle - but there is a way for us to achieve success without abandoning the things we care about most! While looking into childcare options I found they didn’t give me enough flexibility and the right support our family needed. That’s when I realised an au pair could certainly make a huge difference in our lives.
Now looking back, I am now able to achieve a lot of my goals in life through the help of our au pair. She takes care of the things I no longer have the time to do during the busy days, such as cooking dinner, dropping off and picking up kids from school, packing my kids school lunch boxes, having all the homework, test prep and school clothes sorted for the next day and more.
I realise how much time our au pair has freed up for us as parents - allowing us less time to feel guilty and giving us those extra few moments to rather spend some quality time with our children before bedtime.
Having an au pair that can form a strong bond and relationships with your child definitely helps to supplement the times when us as parents need to be away – but it also gives the child a feeling of safety and security. This can reduce the stressful moments of late and last minute rushing in a household.
There can be times when families go through a problematic matching process and end up dealing with a substandard pool of au pairs to choose from. This often leaves parents with no option but to interview dozens and dozens of potential fits for their family. That’s why using a qualified au pair agency will nail it down to 2-3 candidates that they find suitable for the job, leaving the tough decision to the parent on who they see as the best fit. The agency does all the relevant checks and balances which takes the time-consuming part away from busy parents.
