Tips on how to enjoy Art Basel when traveling with children.

��AV Nannies & Sitters — Sat, 17 Nov 2018 15:44:17 +0000

So you want to bask in all of the Miami essence that comes with visiting for Art Basel. Special exhibits, pre-parties, after-parties, concerts, fabulous restaurants, and more. But there’s just one obstacle: Traveling with young children. Sure, we love to have them tag along and hate to leave them back home with the grandparents, but the multi-day party that is Art Basel creates an environment that is not entirely compatible with the young ones.

With a little bit of advanced planning, you can be sure to enjoy the best of both worlds so that the kids have a great time and you do too!

As so many Art Basel events occur in the evening, one strategy is to take advantage of Miami’s excellent kid-friendly attractions during the early part of the day. Attractions such as the , , , or an amphibious adventure with will provide much needed entertainment for the kids that parents can share and enjoy with them!

Ok, so now the kiddos are entertained and worn out and its time for the parents (who have presumably conserved some energy) to go enjoy the Art Basel action. What now? Yes, we want to expose our children to wonderful art, but the massiveness of exhibitions such as Red Dot, Aqua, Context, Art Miami, and many others is capable of testing the endurance of the hardiest adults, let alone children.

That’s where ��AV Family Care can help. Perhaps you’d like to take an early evening stroll through an exhibition hall with your children and have an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands to ensure the kids don’t touch the art (with the big “do not touch” sign on it), break anything, or run around and get lost in the massive halls while you attempt to take a serious and thoughtful look at the abundant and diverse art. One of ��AV’s fully vetted and loving caregivers will be glad to join you and look after the kids to allow you to focus a bit more on the artistic treasures. Alternatively (or immediately after) ��AV will send a sitter to your hotel room so that you can go out and enjoy the exhibitions, fine restaurants, and nightlife. You’ll be assured that your children are having a great time at your hotel playing, reading, and doing other activities before they get safely tucked in for a good night’s rest.

It’s really the best of both worlds; you can enjoy Miami’s beaches and attractions with your children by day, and also to get in some “adult-time” at night. Art Basel and Children DO go together well when you add a little bit of ��AV caregiving to the equation.

It’s easy to book a ��AV Miami hotel babysitter. Simply visit ��AV Family Care and fill out our short application. A ��AV representative will contact you immediately to assign and confirm an experienced and fully qualified sitter who will have fun with your children and set your mind at ease.

Last-minute requests are welcome, but we advise that you book in advance to be certain of getting the coverage you want. This is one of the busiest times of year for our on-call sitters. Use the link above or call ��AV at 305.256.5905. We’d be happy to tell you more about our awesome sitters and get you set up with coverage to make your visit run smoothly.

Enjoy the art!

Confidentiality Agreements In Nanny Contracts

��AV Nannies & Sitters — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:41:52 +0000

Hiring a nanny to work in your home allows your child(ren) to be at home and have one-on-one attention. Children can thrive in their home environment and on their own schedule. Working in a home, sometimes that nanny will be privy to the family’s personal information. Unfortunately, with the a quick hit of a button this information can be shared on social media.

Due to social media and privacy concerns, more and more families are working a nondisclosure statement into their contract. ��AV for Kids believes that including a confidentiality clause in the nanny family contract is a good idea. ��AV Placement Counselor Jessica Friedman says she has seen these type of agreements written into contracts. It could be a simple statement saying, “as a family we respect your right to privacy and we ask you respect ours. We also ask that you not ever post pictures or videos of our children or home on social media.”

The best way to start any nanny position is with an agreed-upon contract. This contract sets the tone for the position and opens up the lines of communication right away. If you would like to hire a nanny in St. Louis, Mo. or South Florida contact ��AV for Kids at .

What is the Difference between a Newborn Care Specialist, a Baby Nurse and a Postpartum Doula?

��AV Nannies & Sitters — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 19:22:24 +0000

Bringing home a new baby is an exciting and joyous time. It can also be overwhelming and exhausting to care for your new baby, yourself and your family. ��AV for Kids offers new parents three options to help adjust to life at home. All three options bring assistance to parents caring for a new baby. But what is the difference between a Postpartum Doula, a Baby Nurse and a Newborn Care Specialist? Questions like this come to the ��AV office every day.
Here is a description of each option.

Postpartum Doula

A Postpartum Doula provides support for the mother and the rest of the family. A big part of the Doula’s job is to “mother the mother” and help the new mother recover after birth. With a Doula there is a lot of focus on education. The Doula can offer breastfeeding and bottle feeding support, help establish newborn procedures and routines, along with other infant care needs. The Postpartum Doula aims to make the mother comfortable and confident in her new role, and to empower the parents to care for their new baby themselves. The Doula can also provide some light housekeeping, errand running and meal preparation. In Miami and Fort Lauderdale Postpartum Doulas can range from $14-$25 per hour.

The hours typically range 4-6 hours a day, but overnights are also possible. The parents can also decide if they want the Doula every day or just a few days a week. There are certification programs that some Doulas complete through these organizations: DONA, CAPPA, Maternity Wise, or Childbirth International.

Baby Nurse

In South Florida parents typically use the word “Baby Nurse” to describe around the clock infant care assistance. This person is usually not a registered nurse. She is typically a non-medically trained caregiver whose main focus is on the infant. The Baby Nurse has a bed in the room with the baby. She is responsible for feeding, changing, burping, rocking, soothing, and swaddling the new baby. The baby nurse may also assist with the infant’s laundry and bottle washing. In the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area a live-in Baby Nurse charges between $200 and $275 per day.

Newborn Care Specialist (NCS)

The responsibilities of the NCS include feeding, bathing, changing the infant, washing/cleaning/sterilizing bottles, and initiating a schedule for sleeping, meals, nap and play time. Other responsibilities include advising and providing any requested consultation on infant needs, swaddling, breastfeeding guidance, cord and circumcision care and nursery organization. An NCS can work days, nights or around the clock. The training a NCS receives can vary from more official groups like Newborn Care Specialist Association (NCSA) to smaller trainings led by individual agencies or no specific training at all. Many NCS have been providing care to new moms for decades! They bring to the family years of practical experience.

All three caregivers offer overnight services. A good night’s sleep is by far the biggest need for parents with an infant! The caregiver typically arrives at 10 pm and stays until 6 or 7 am, allowing parents to sleep and feel well rested for the next day.

For more information, call ��AV and ask about Postpartum Doulas, Baby Nurses, and Newborn Care Specialists today. ��AV can provide an extra set of loving arms for you and your new baby!

Babysitters for your vacation to Miami

��AV Nannies & Sitters — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:02:40 +0000

Family vacations to the beach are fun for everyone. The sun and the sand are a great way for families to relax and unwind. Florida cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton have great beaches and fun things for the family to do during the day. But the nightlife in Miami doesn’t include kids. Miami and Miami Beach have great restaurants and clubs for parents to see while visiting South Florida. Why not have a date night while on vacation?

��AV for Kids Miami has professional babysitters ready to come to your hotel. Our hotel babysitters are reliable, mature and experienced. They arrive at the hotel ready to play with a bag of age appropriate toys for your kids. Along the coast we service hotels like The Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale and The Breakers in Palm Beach. In Miami our experienced sitters can come to The Fontainebleau and The Trump Doral among other popular Miami hotels.

To book your South Florida hotel babysitter contact us at 305-256-5905 or ask the hotel concierge to contact ��AV for Kids.

��AV for Kids Newborn Care

��AV Nannies & Sitters — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 18:50:42 +0000

Bringing home a new baby is a transition for everyone. While welcoming home a new baby with hugs and love is amazing, sometimes bringing home a baby can be overwhelming. When I came home with my new babies I was overwhelmed with emotion and the needs placed on me. I was recovering from a C-Section and sleep deprived. In our house, Dad had to go back to work and I was at home taking care baby and the siblings in the house who missed being the center of attention. Help!

��AV for Kids knows this transitional period requires more help than usual, so we have two different options to help your family adjust to a new baby.

1 . Newborn Overnight Nanny. At ��AV for Kids, we have caregivers who work as overnight newborn nannies. An overnight newborn nanny is a caregiver that comes to your house around bedtime and stays awake through the night (they are required to stay awake the entire time) to take care of the baby when he/she wakes up. The overnight nanny will feed the baby(or bring baby to mom for nursing), change, rock and put the baby back to sleep. This allows new parents to catch up on rest and enjoy a full night’s sleep because they know their baby is receiving the best care possible.

2. Newborn Specialist. If welcoming a new baby is harder than getting sleep at night, ��AV for Kids also offers child care providers who are newborn specialists. Newborn specialists help parents in their home the first few weeks or months of baby’s life with parent education, feeding/breastfeeding, basic baby care, and light housekeeping. Newborn specialists can also help older siblings adjust to sharing mom and dad’s attention with a new baby in the house. Whether you are a seasoned mom or new to parenting, a newborn specialist is an option to help your family adjust.

��AV for Kids is ready to assist you and your growing family, so whether you are expecting and want to find a caregiver before your baby arrives, or already have a newborn but need help, call ��AV for Kids today: (314) 725-5660.
