New Survey from Nannies4Hire.com: Main Street Families Holding Back and Believe the Presidential Election Holds the Key for the Economy

Main Street families may not have lost a job in the recent economic downturn, but they are holding onto their money just the same and 58% believe the Presidential election on 11/4/08 will make a difference. With 19.6% reporting they are still undecided, Obama leads McCain by only 3.2% . Eight-seven percent of families responding are working and 80% believe they will keep their jobs. Just the same, 79% are putting off big purchases like cars, appliances or computers, 67% are going out to eat less and 33% are canceling travel. Nannies are still a necessity with only 11% of families cutting hours.

Omaha, Neb. (PRWEB) November 3, 2008 -- Nannies4hire.com, the premier nanny and babysitter registry database service polled over 39,000 of its families on the impact of the recent financial crisis on their lives. With a 2.5% return, even though they have not lost a job, the crisis has created a belt tightening effect on families' lifestyles, although nannies and babysitters are the last to go. When asked where they are making cutbacks, most respondents are cutting back on the conveniences and holding onto the necessities, like childcare in their home.

"In times of economic uncertainty, families need their nannies and babysitters more than ever. As our survey shows, less eating out (79%), less conveniences like take-out meals (60%) means more meals cooked inside the home. That's were a nanny can help a family stay healthy and connected by pitching in," Candi Wingate, owner of Nannies4Hire.com and Babysitters4Hire.com reports.
