Nannies: An affordable option

When most families need a nanny or caregiver they shop the old fashioned way. Some will spend two to three hours calling different agencies from the phone book. Others will place their own ads and then have to deal with many unqualified applicants.

This is where A-PRO Caregivers & Nannies, a nanny agency based in Vancouver, comes into the picture. The company’s goal is to help you focus your search and take the worry and frustration out of the selection process. For most of us, free time is often in short supply. A-PRO will do the legwork for you so you can spend the time doing what you enjoy instead.

"Most families who opt to hire a live-in nanny aren’t even aware of the tremendous advantages that a nanny can bring," says El Apostol, owner of A-PRO Caregivers & Nannies Inc. "A nanny can have a positive effect on the time saved by families."

The advantages of hiring a live-in nanny include:

• Not having to deal with the politics of using a relative;
• Set daily routine of pick-ups and drop-offs;
• Child stays in familiar surroundings;
• Mornings will be less stressful;
• Scheduling is more flexible with a nanny than a daycare centre;
• Household chores can be done during the week, leaving your weekends free.
  

A-PRO helps families find the best in childcare, eldercare or special needs. For more information, call 604-568-7099 or visit http://www.a-procare.com/
