Mum Clara on babysitting: "Everyday luxury to have date night after work sometimes"

The pressure to be the perfect parent can eventually take its toll on the relationship. Sometimes parents need alone time to build their relationship - without hungry and whiny children. That's why mum Clara decided to hire a nanny from Hey Kiddo last year.  

Family life can sometimes feel like an unsolvable equation

But with a little help from a nanny, everyday life becomes much easier. One thing's for sure: children feel better when parents are present and not stressed out. That's why Hey Kiddo's nannies help families across the UK spend more quality time together - resulting in strong family relationships.

- When we decided to hire a nanny, Hey Kiddo was our first choice. They listened to our wishes and the whole process has been quick and smooth. For example, we wanted our nanny to enjoy painting and being creative, as our son is a creative soul. Now, after many hours of babysitting, they have painted and drawn beautiful pictures that we have hung in our son's room," says Clara.

Being able to trust your nanny is essential

Hey Kiddo therefore always conducts thorough recruitment processes for all new nannies. Of course, background checks are carried out, but also safety training programmes in active babysitting and a basic course in CPR.

- As a parent, it gives me great pleasure to see my child stimulated and activated with our nanny. Sometimes they are out in the park, baking in the kitchen or doing puzzles. I see how my child develops in front of my eyes and it makes me proud," says Clara.

Flexibility when life gets in the way

Clara and her partner were invited to dinner but had no one to look after their son. They decided to contact Hey Kiddo. After the first meeting, the nanny got on so well with the family that they decided to change their subscription to regular babysitting.

- It's amazing how flexible Hey Kiddo is as a company. We wanted to start gently to get our son used to a new person in his life, but since then we have chosen to continue on an ongoing basis. The puzzle of life is not easy - but it is easy with a nanny from Hey Kiddo, Clara laughs.
