On the other side do be careful of a family coming from a centre to home care in terms of what their expectations are. The same goes from a family that has a nanny and then decides to use home care instead. In both cases they may have the feeling that they have more control over what goes on in your home than they really do. As long as you address their concerns it usually works out ok but they need to know that you set the rules they have to follow just like a centre does and that for the other scenerio the parents are no longer the ones that set rules so their child will need to be part of the group and not catered too.

Siblings being together is a good reason to choose homecare. Often our hours are more flexible than many centres. Some children just do not do well in a busy, noisy environment and need to be in a home where the day is less stressful and there is less pressure on the child to keep up.
