Your little one has grown up: soon it's his first day of school. How to organize things with the nanny?

The time has flown by! Your little Ella has just blown out 4 candles on her cake. In September she is starting preschool. It's one of the classic situations in the care with a home childcare assistant when parents ask questions. 

The options in respect to your childcare provider

Ending the childcare: you can end the contract with your childcare provider on the grounds that your child will be at school during your hours of work.

Continue to use your caregiver: Perhaps your little one is starting out with half-day preschool or your work schedule doesn't line-up with his school schedule and so you still need someone to care for him part-time.

Be sure to ask your home caregiver what her rates are for part-time care and, very important, how many hours are included.
