Winter & School Holidays – What can I do to amuse the children?!
Winter, rain and muddy puddles - This is a regular concern parents have with this time of year when you can’t just play outside, go to the park or soak up some sunshine! As much as Melbourne Winters can be graced with rare days of beautiful sunshine, the majority of it is cold, gloomy and wet! It is always good to plan ahead before you find yourself stuck for ideas and the kids nagging you in the morning causing you headaches and unnecessary stressors. Below we have listed some ideas/events of how you can amuse your children/what child friendly activities are on this June holidays!
Happy Nanny - Happy Children
Here at Placement solutions we believe that a happy Nanny equates to happy children and a happy home. A nanny is not just a babysitter or a little bit of help to the family he or she is so much more than that. A Nanny is a mother’s helper; they are the one-on-one care for your most precious assets while you need to be at work or other such commitments. A Nanny comes into your home to provide care and education for your children and to help keep them happy, healthy and safe.
10 tips of entertaining children inside this winter!
With winter fast approaching we are finding ourselves slowly losing daylight, sunshine and the lovely warm days! We will soon be cooped up inside with heaters on, rugged up, hot chocolates and going stir crazy! Now is the time to start planning ahead to ensure that you have plenty of ideas to keep the children happy and ensure that they are not consistently asking for things to do!
Families in Crisis
Did you know there is help out there for families going through crisis whether it is financial or medical? We are especially experienced in helping such families. Some people may receive funding offered by the government. Those families approved are allowed to access full child care funding to help them through a time of crisis.
Nanny Pilot hits the road
We have hit the road running to make this pilot work! We started our travel through regional Victoria to meet with high priority families that know exactly what they require for a nanny. We are also meeting with recruitment companies in each area to ensure they are on the lookout for some great nannies with our minimum recruitment requirements.
Nanny Pilot versus Rebated Care
Did you know that the nanny pilot has started?! It is a ‘new’ initiative proposed by the government to assist families who cannot access normal rebated care. Basically it is the same eligibility as normal in-home care requirements except you aren’t using up your CCR/CCB. We as an agency have been selected for regional and rural Victoria and hope to help as many families as we can.
Is Nanny sharing for you?
Have you started thinking about going back to work? Have you thought about putting your child into child care? Is there no room? Sounds like something we hear often from a lot of parents that contact us. There seems to be a shortage of child care centres for the ever growing Victorian population. Many parents are turning to in-home child care agencies to help find a solution to their problem.
The Importance of Thorough Reference Checks
Reference checks are done by the recruitment team and everyone involved in the process must have a solid understanding of skills needed for the position.
A Nanny is more affordable than you think.
Everyone would love to have a Nanny in their home - that extra pair of hands to help you out. A Nanny can bring a huge amount of assistance and knowledge to your family, as well the advantage of having a one on one interaction regarding your child’s development that cannot always happen in a day care setting. We know what you’re thinking; “how can I ever afford a nanny?” Well we’re here to tell you that this is actually possible for a majority of families. Government assistance and rebates are available to most families and at Placement Solutions we can help you access these facilities.
