Childcare Coaching Sessions
Our personalized childcare coaching sessions are available to help parents decide on the type of childcare that is right for their family and receive the guidance, resources and training they need to confidently find, hire and maintain a great daycare, nanny or nanny-share for their child without the high costs of a placement agency.

How Does Childcare Coaching Work?

Tell us about your childcare needs and family through our assessments 

We understand that each family has different needs, wants, budget, personality, stressors, and child raising philosophies. Because of this, we emphasis the importance of getting to know your unique family to guide you on the childcare path that is best suited for you. 

After booking your coaching session, we will send you our detailed Choice Parenting Family Assessment to help you think through and communicate your personality, parenting style, childcare expectations, career requirements, schedule and more.  We ask families to complete and return these forms before we meet so that we can prepare and tailor the information to match you.

Meet for our childcare coaching session

Choice Parenting offers in person childcare coaching sessions in your home, office, or local coffee shop within a 60 minutes commute of Manhattan (or via video/phone consultation for clients out of area).  The in person coaching sessions last approximately 2-2.5 hours and preferably with both parents involved- children are welcome!  Read more about our scheduling availability and policies on our FAQ page...
During your childcare coaching session, Holly Flanders will provide do-it-yourself information and tips to teach you how to find quality childcare.  Together, we will discuss your needs, questions, and advise you on the best practices for finding, hiring, training and maintaining  a healthy relationship with the right caregiver. 

Based on your needs, we will discuss topics such as: 
  • Benefits, challenges and feasibility of the different childcare options (Daycares, nannies-live in or out, nanny-sharing, au pairs, SAH parenting)
  • How to effectively interview daycares, nannies, nanny-share families and references
  • Considerations, costs and how to best organize a nanny share (written expectation/contract and topics to discuss before starting a nanny share)
  • Budgeting for childcare: what are the costs of daycare vs. nanny (payroll, taxes, insurances, benefits, extra expenses, backup care)
  • How to perform background, reference and quality control checks 
  • Importance and purpose of the "nanny contract" (employment agreement) as well as what topics and clauses should be included in your written document
  • How to clearly communicate employment and child raising expectations
  • Working interviews, training and trial periods for your nanny/share
  • 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

After our coaching session, you will receive:
  • All of the digital guides and templates from our Choice Parenting Store
  • Service recommendations to simplify your childcare search and on-going employment relationship: Payroll services, background check professionals, CPR instructors, nanny cameras, GPS trackers and more. 
  • An email outlining our suggestions and recommendations for your next steps based on our conversation
  • Remote support via phone or email to answer any quesitons you have as you start your search to find a quality caregiver to match your family
