Top 5 reasons employees book Emergency Childcare
With coughs and colds going around, and the holidays approaching, perhaps it's not surprising that the Emergency Childcare booking team at My Family Care is very busy
The top 5 reasons for booking during November and December are typically:
- Sick child
- Sick nanny
- Foreign au pair going home for Christmas
- Closed schools and nurseries over holiday period
- The weather
Emma Griffin, head of parent relations at My Family Care, comments:
"It won't surprise anyone to know that the top 2 reasons are sickness related. What is interesting, is that parents who want to work, but feel guilty about being at work with a sick child at home, can have the best of both worlds. They can be at home, knowing that they're close to their child, but having an emergency nanny, means that they're free to work as well. With flexible working becoming more prevalent, we're seeing many parents appreciate the benefits in this kind of situation."
The disruption caused by holidays and school breaks accounts for a notable proportion... and then there's the weather!
