Imagine a new, more cost effective and beneficial way to offer childcare in the workplace.  A Helping Hand Professional Nanny Agency, LLC has developed a comprehensive and unique program that allows companies to offer childcare in the workplace in a home setting without the restrictions and licensing requirements that come with opening a child daycare facility in the workplace.  AHH-PNA has vigorously examined the numerous advantages and continuously growing need of childcare in the workplace and has taken its findings to the next level through developing the Workplace Nanny Share Program ©.

As two income families become more prevalent in today’s society, childcare is a continuously growing issue of enormous importance to employers, employees, and the economy. In 1996, 51 million working Americans, representing 38 percent of the labor force, had children under the age of 18 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1997).  These statistics clearly represent the growing demand for quality childcare among working parents.  A 1995 conference Board survey found that many companies believe there are substantial benefits from offering childcare in the workplace:

• 62 percent of respondents reported higher morale
• 54 percent reported reduced absenteeism
• 52 percent reported increased productivity
• 37 percent reported lower turnover(Investing in Childcare – US Dept. of Treasury)

AHH-PNA prides itself on it’s personal and hands on involvement with every company and it’s employees to ensure the individual needs and expectations of everyone involved are met during the entire development process of the Workplace Nanny Share Program ©.  AHH-PNA will work with the company from the very beginning phases of the project through the final phases including: specific recommendations for designing the nanny care facility, thoroughly pre-screened nanny candidate referrals for each employee using the program, and educational and informative resources relating to hiring and retaining the “perfect” nanny.    

Randall L. Tobias, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eli Lilly and Company and supporter of childcare in the workplace stated, “The bottom line is that our efforts to support employees’ work/family priorities are good business.  These are neither ‘perks’ nor ‘giveaways.’  These tools will help us attract, motivate, and retain people who are more likely to be more dedicated, more focused, more innovative, and more productive.” (Investing in Childcare – US Dept. of Treasury)
