Free nanny

Going shopping or to the hairdresser can be a challenge, if not a problem, for many young mothers. Moreover, it remains an unresolved issue until a woman finds an answer to the question: "Who will look after the child for a few hours?".

Going shopping or to the hairdresser can be a challenge, if not a problem, for many young mothers. Moreover, it remains an unresolved issue until a woman finds an answer to the question: "Who will look after the child for a few hours?". The territorial center for social services offers free nanny services to those facing such a dilemma. However, with some reservations.

Parents can count on such support only during daytime on weekdays. For mothers who have given birth to twins, a nanny will assist for no more than 12 hours a week, and for those who have had a "triple miracle," it's 40 hours a week. The age of the children is also taken into account: when they turn three, parents need to find an alternative to a free nanny. An exception is made for children with disabilities. Their parents can use this service until their children turn four.

Do single-child families have a chance to get a free nanny? Only single-parent families with a child with a disability. In this case, the nanny's working hours are extended to 20 hours per week.

By the way, you can also register your distant relative as a nanny, who will also receive a salary for their assistance. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters of the child are excluded from the list of candidates for the role of a nanny. However, for example, a mother's aunt, or in other words, a great-aunt, is perfectly suitable.

Interestingly, despite the fact that this service has been provided in our country since December 2012, residents of Lepel decided to use it only at the end of last year. These were two complete families with twins. If any of our readers wish to follow their example, the territorial center for social services promises that a free nanny will come to their aid as well.
