[quote=Anonymous]We have a beloved nanny who has done infant and afterschool care for DCs (now 2 and 6). We didn't have her work for the last 4 months for various reasons.  She's now back and we are thinking about the school year. If (when) our school goes online, we are going to need to supplement with in home effort because our eldest really didn't take to online interaction and because our Montessori school just really isn't equipped for this whole online thing.

It's neither the nanny's training nor previous work experience to do more educational activities for preschool/elementary school age kids. She's great at singing songs with babies and the like and is open and willing to try new things, but just doesn't have the knowledge base.  I can buy workbooks and sign up for ABC Mouse (or whatever) and download activity ideas but I'm looking for something to help our nanny think about how to use these things and generally adapt in the course of a day to encourage learning. Especially for the 6 year old. We muddled through the spring without her and frankly we need to do better next year.

Does anyone have suggestions for books, resources, maybe a short training course to help the nanny and us do some groundwork before the Fall starts? Or even ideas about what to call what I'm looking for? Really, do we just need to try to convert to homeschoolers with a nanny taking the lead?

p.s. Getting a new nanny is not on the table. The emotional support and relationships are far too valuable.[/quote]
