As our lives accelerate each year with the constant use of social media and the internet, finding solutions to adapt is becoming essential, especially for families. With remote work, the uncertainties of the crisis, and school closures, finding time for oneself is becoming increasingly difficult. So how can I ensure my childcare is handled with peace of mind? Here are some answers.
Safe childcare
Having a family member look after my child is, first and foremost, a choice of security. Indeed, it’s not always easy to entrust your children to someone you don’t know. Even though today, specialist companies have made choosing and selecting their caregivers a priority.
Choosing a family member will always have that extra something, that mutual affection and prior knowledge that will allow you to leave with complete peace of mind.
Advantages of having your child looked after by a relative
Furthermore, entrusting your child to a family member is also a good way to provide a welcome little extra income for a loved one. Indeed, for grandparents looking for supplemental income or young people wanting to earn some pocket money, it’s a wonderful opportunity to combine payment with rewarding and fulfilling work. They might even enjoy it and turn to a site like Yoopala to make this income a regular occurrence.
Also, be aware that as a parent, you can benefit from the same financial advantages as if you had chosen to employ someone outside your family circle. You can be reimbursed up to 85% of your monthly bill thanks to the CAF CMG subsidy. In addition, you can benefit from a tax credit of 50% on the remaining amount. In short, whether it’s you or your loved one, everyone wins!
Having a relative look after my child: a social solution
Finally, entrusting the care of one’s child to a family member is, at last, an act of socialization in a world where human relationships are increasingly strained. Indeed, grandparents will not only be pleased to receive a small payment for their efforts, but they will be especially delighted to see this new member of the family grow up and thus pass on all the knowledge and love they have accumulated throughout their lives.
This will allow them to feel useful and valued. If you choose to entrust your child to a young niece, sister, or any other younger family member, it will also be a chance to strengthen bonds and create a genuine sense of belonging within your extended family. Babysitting by a family member is therefore an emotional, social, and economic act all at once!
