After my husband and I had our third child, we felt very grateful but also overwhelmed. When I was on maternity leave, life at home and with the children was enjoyable. However, once I returned to work, our lives became very hectic and strained. Our routine became very stressful and it was hard to achieve a successful work/life balance that worked for us. More importantly, it was apparent that our children were feeling the brunt of the strain and not getting the rest and attention that they deserved.

In order to get them to the babysitter and ourselves to work on time, we had to wake the children from their beds very early in the morning, get them dressed and take them out in the cold. It was unbelievable the amount of preparation that had to be done each morning before work as well as in the evening in order to have the children become part of our hurried routine.

We were constantly rushing to get things done for the children yet we were not spending the quality time that they craved and we vowed to always give. We were at our wits end and realized we needed help. We looked at a few options but getting a nanny seemed to be the most viable solution for us.

We cannot speak highly enough of the changes that our lives have undergone and how thankful we are for having found a caring and nurturing individual in our nanny. Our children no longer have to be awakened from their sleep to be taken out in the cold and can attain the rest they need.

We no longer have to follow a stressful routine and now have time to do activities and spend quality time with them. All of the housework, laundry, and some cooking are done by our nanny and we can concentrate on our family once we are home. Our children are very happy because they are being looked after in their own home.
