Two hours to catch up
As Mosgorpark assured, nannies can be trusted. They are provided by a popular company for the selection of child care assistants, which has been operating on the capital’s market for more than three years. During this time, 7 thousand people have used its services. As the company’s representative Liliya Kuleshova told RG, all nannies working in the parks have been tested and trained in handling children over 0 years old. “In our company there are nannies of different ages, there are also nannies of different ages, but so far only young people under 35 years old work on the Nanny in the Park project,” says Kuleshova. peculiarities of work in nature. Do you remember what children like when they go outside? Of course, not to sit on a bench, but to run, run, jump. The task of our employees is to organize children in outdoor games and not get tired. “
Free with music
However, the nanny will not run around the parks with the children from morning to night, of course, if her job has not become an additional service. The thing is that nannies work according to different scenarios: paid and free. In any of the options, contact and passport data are taken from the parent and an agreement is concluded for the provision of services.
A free option is when the babysitter works during an important event in the park. For example, there is a tournament or concert or sports event. So that the child does not distract the parents, he or she can be left with a babysitter. You can find him or her in the branded “Summer in the Park” pavilion next to the event venue. If up to 20 children are expected, two babysitters are assigned. If more, three or four. There is only one condition for the parents: the child must be picked up within two hours.
You can drop your child off for free for a two-hour group lesson.
The second option to let your child spend the same two hours for free is to take him to an activity organized by the nannies themselves. Their schedule can be found on the Mosgorpark portal or on social networks. They usually take place during the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I also took advantage of this option on Sunday afternoon in the nearby Levoberezhye park. An agreement was reached on the spot. When we left our 8-year-old son Leonid, the nanny Yulia Rogacheva, a teacher education university student, asked yesterday: where is his water bottle? We had to run to the nearest store, after which we left our upset son with the nanny. Besides him, there were three other children aged 2, 4 and 10. Once, as Rogacheva says, 18 children were brought here and a second nanny had to be quickly called to help them. To brighten up their free time, they left their son a phone, telling him that if he gets bored, he can play. And we went swimming – fortunately there is a beach 300 meters from the pavilion with the nannies. Interestingly, thanks to the possibility of swimming, this park is one of the leaders in the number of users of the new service. Moreover, after resting without children, parents return to pick them up and continue sitting together on the beach.
Personal supervision
But calling a nanny from the park for your child in person is already a paid service. “On a day off, the parents asked to accompany their child to the park for two hours,” says one of the nannies, Polina Butova. “The parents went cycling around Sokolniki and left their two-year-old daughter on a children’s bike under my supervision.” You can order this option on the Mosgorpark website or using the QR code, which will soon be displayed on information boards in the parks. Even in this case, you won’t have to wait for hours for a nanny. The secret is that on weekends, nannies living near the parks are on high alert. Due to the “speed of delivery,” prices are high: a nanny for one hour costs 1,000 rubles, for two hours – 1,490 rubles, and for three hours or more – at the rate of 650 rubles for each hour.
Origami, jump ropes and balls.
Sometimes we were surprised to see how our boy spent his free time. At first, out of habit, he sat in front of the phone. Then, still with the phone in his hand, he looked at the children playing with the nanny. And after 15-20 minutes I joined the game. Children of different ages played dodgeball, jumping in turns, and then twisting into an unusual ball. “We are specially studying various outdoor games, we also remember the games from the beginning of the last century,” explains nanny Yulia. “Now the most that children know is catch-up, hide and stop. Meanwhile, there are four dozen outdoor games. We also remember the game “They were sitting on a gold ring”, “Ring”, “Lapta”, “Confusion” and many others. The age and mood of the children, for example, last weekend they did not want to play outdoor games, I suggested folding origami. We always have sheets of paper, pencils, balls, skipping rope. We settled in the pavilion. “Folded jumping paper frogs.”
