CHILDCARE COACHING SESSIONS



​My personalized childcare coaching sessions are for parents who want to find childcare on their own with expert guidance. I offer phone and video coaching sessions across the USA.

How Does Childcare Coaching Work?

With my coaching, you will receive the information, training and support you need to confidently find, hire and maintain a great daycare, nanny or nanny-share for your child without the additional costs of a placement agency.
​

Holly gets to know YOU and your family

My personalized childcare coaching sessions do not have a strict roadmap but rather focus on the topics that make sense to your specific childcare situation, interest and questions. I understand that each family has different needs, wants, budget, personality, stressors, and child raising philosophies. Because of this, I emphasize the importance of getting to know your unique family to guide you on the childcare path that is best suited for you. 

Daycare vs nanny comparison

The sessions are often heavy on nanny information, but that is not because I am trying to push you or your family towards nanny care. In fact, I do not believe nanny care is the best form of care for every family! Daycares have set policies and procedures set by their State’s inspection office and the individual centers, so in speaking of daycares we discuss: the group care elements; information on your state’s requirements; resources to obtain past inspection reports; an outline of questions/consideration for touring centers; and basics of child development as it pertains to the daycare structure. On the other hand, nanny care is a more customized and unregulated form of childcare so it is important to understand and weigh this option in closer detail as it requires you to be not just the parent but also the employer who interviews, hires and manages the nanny as your employee. ​

Meeting for our childcare coaching session

Coaching sessions are offered through phone or video conferencing via Zoom, Google Meet or FaceTime.  Coaching sessions last approximately 1-1.5 hours. ​
During your childcare coaching session, Holly Flanders  will provide do-it-yourself information and tips to teach you how to find quality childcare on your own without the additional costs of nanny placement services.    

Based on your needs, we will discuss topics such as: 
  • Benefits, challenges and feasibility of the daycares, nannies (both live in or out), nanny-sharing, and au pairs as well as how these options may apply to your family
  • How to effectively interview daycares, nannies, nanny-share families 
  • Considerations, costs and how to best organize a nanny share
  • Budgeting for childcare: what are the costs of daycare vs. nanny (i.e. payroll, taxes, insurances, benefits, extra expenses, backup care)
  • Step-by-step guidance on how to prepare and execute your search and hiring plan
  • How to perform background, reference and quality control checks 
  • Working interviews, training and trial periods for your nanny/share
  • Importance and purpose of the "nanny contract" (employment agreement/handbook) in addition to the detailed sample nanny employment handbook template with topics that you may want to include in your agreement.
  • Organizing and recording emergency information, alternative pick up contacts, hours and payment tracking, development of the child(ren), daily activities and household responsibilities
  • Reviews, raises, and bonuses ​​

After your childcare coaching session

 You will receive:
  • All of the digital guides and templates from our Choice Parenting Store (i.e. Nanny interview questions, reference questions, sample nanny “contract”/employment handbook and more)  
  • Service recommendations to simplify your childcare search and on-going employment relationship (i.e. Payroll services, background check professionals, CPR instructors)
  • An email outlining our suggestions and recommendations for your next steps based on our conversation
  • Remote support via phone or email to answer any questions you have as you start your search to find a quality caregiver to match your family
