Advantages of Employing a Live-In Caregiver for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities

 

Living in the comfort of your own home is by far the most preferred alternative for most elderly people or persons with disabilities recovering or needing permanent or temporary in-home care. You are in your own environment and you can do whatever you please to do because it's your home.

 

No one can tell you to change the channel because the majority would like to watch "Oprah". Or to make a decision whether you want either "Fish" or an alternative that is "Chicken". And tough luck if you don't like both then what are you going to eat? Everything is by the clock and by the book. We do not think anybody wants to live this way especially when you are in your golden years or trying to recover from an illness or injury. But this is usually the case for care outside your home.

 

Well here are just some of the benefits of employing a Live-In Caregiver:

  • A Live-In Caregiver may assess the various functional abilities of clients to determine how they can be assisted. Results, clients are provided with a comfortable living environment.

  • A Live-In Caregiver may plan or implement activities for the client such as shopping, walking, trips, attending important gathering to enhance their quality of life and also accompany them to appointments to the doctor or dentist.

  • A  Live-In Caregiver may organize all matter related to the operation of the residence such as cooking, cleaning, laundry and house management.

  • Aside from light housekeeping duties, a Live-In Caregiver observes clients, identifies and assess potential emergency situations and develop short term strategies to deal with such situations. Reports medical, behavioral and other problem as required to family members.

  • In addition, a Live-In Caregiver provides feedback and input regarding client's needs, performance and progress, ensured the maintenance, cleanliness and safety of the residence, performs other related in-home care duties as assigned.

Result, client and their families have satisfaction and peace of mind. But above all the real benefits are:

Independence

It  provides clients with a sense independence that client would be able to live outside a care home and in the comfort of your own home with the assistance of a Live-In Caregiver.

Peace of Mind

Knowing that you have a person that provides care for you in your home gives you the security and peace of mind. You can never be worried that you forgot your stove on because there would be a Live-In Caregiver with you through the night while you sleep peacefully.

Option

You can personally choose the Live-In Caregiver you would like to employ among our  database of foreign trained, educated and experienced Live-In Caregiver candidates.

Personalized Care

Flexibility

Live-In Caregivers are flexible and would tailor to the schedule you need. You can design a schedule that would be cost effective to you.

Consistency and Stability

The Live-In Caregiver you chose would be the person that would provide care for you at all times, as oppose to a care facilities and other care services that provide you with multiple list of caregivers that would attend to you. Thereby restoring consistency and stability.

A Friend 

They can be a friend that you can count on and have conversations over a cup of tea. This is because the level of care that they would provide is more personal. The Live-In Caregiver will lives with you and a bond will be established. The client gets to know the person providing care, personally.

Advantages of Employing a Live-In Nanny for Children and Special Needs

 

Children are at best cared for at home and in their familiar surroundings. While families have several options in seeking childcare such as having extended families that they can rely such as Grandma and Grandpa, friends or their neighborhood daycare, choosing childcare is a family preference. There are different advantages for each decision. Here are some of the advantages of employing a Live-In Nanny.

 

Saves Time

 

The beauty of having a Live-In Nanny is that it saves time. Time is money. While others may find that it may be more economical to send children to friends and family. The time that you travel, gasoline, mileage on your vehicle to send and pick up your children adds up in the end. And it is not always that a friend or a family will be there and available to provide childcare. Even Grandmas and Grandpa would like to do things as well on their own.

 

Getting stuck on traffic coming back or having to work longer hours at work because of deadlines, a Live-In Nanny would be there for you and you have a peace of mind that you are not bothering anyone.

 

Cost

 

The cost of having a Live-In Nanny is not that expensive, especially if you have two or more children (Wage Schedule for Live-In Nanny). Even if you have one child, a Live-In Nanny may be more economical if you were to compare costs. And when you arrive home after an exhaustive day at work, you would still need to cook, clean, do laundry etc. And these are time away from your children.

 

Peace of Mind

 

You would have a peace of mind that your children are in the comfort of your home. Playing in their living rooms and eating healthy foods that you have prepared. And best of all, you can monitor you children's growth and development.

 

A Friend

 

The best way to know the person caring for your children, is to know them on a personal level. Knowing your nanny personally can throw away all the doubts that most parents have. Having a Live-In Nanny is the best way to know your nanny.  A Live-In Nanny can be your friend and can be your best support. Having a great relationship with your Live-In Nanny can be a great advantage for you and your family. Its just like having your best friend care for your children. And your family gets to know your Live-In Nanny on a personal basis.

 

Personalized Care, Consistency and Stability

 

Employing a Live-In Nanny would provide you control over who you wish to provide care for your children. There would be stability. And like most parents they have guidelines on how their children are raised, when they would take naps, when to eat, what to eat and these are very important aspects in child development. You can only implement these if you have personalized care.

 

Flexibility

 

The work schedule of a Live-In Nanny will always cater to your families' needs and schedule. And this is great because having children, its hard to have set schedules, especially if the child is still young. Having to juggle your career and being a parent, there would always be situations that would arise wherein schedules needs to be altered. Having that flexibility allows to take off the pressures that many parents have.

 

Relationship

 

We have seen over the years that the success to having a nanny stay longer, is to have a great relationship. This may be too obvious but while nannies would do their best to accommodate your family, there are times that most nannies are being overlooked for such a tremendous job that they provide to their employers. Most families that have successfully kept their nanny for such a long time have indicated that the key is relationship. They have provided them bonuses etc. and this have made the relationship stronger. But if big bonuses are out of the budget, simple things like giving them CD, taking them out to dinner, giving extra break etc. Appreciating the Live-In Nanny's contributions would mean a lot to them.
