[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  I am considering starting a service for families to provide support to nannies/caregivers to help them with the education side of their role, which is growing with distance learning or cancelling preschool. (I am a (well-educated, experienced) preschool teacher who is undecided about returning to the classroom this fall due to COVID risk.)

Would this kind of service interest you? What would you like in such a service? here are some ideas I have:

-short written articles that explain the educational value of some basic early childhood play activities.  Option to make short videos if that would be preferable. 
-a list of activity options that give children playful learning in different developmental domains (literacy, fine motor skills, etc).  
-supply lists for materials needed for activities
-available via phone or zoom call for Q&A, or a set 'office hours' time to discuss how to implement activities.
-short online training sessions for nannies on educational activities: what they are, why they are educational, what to add to make them beneficial for children. 
-available to consult with nanny/parent on specific child's interests / needs / issues, and what I recommend to help support that child's learning.  I could tailor educational activities to a child's interests and needs: a dinosaur-loving 3 year old who needs to strengthen her fine motor skills may have a fine motor manipulative activity that involves dinosaurs, for example.

Career nannies already do educational activities.  Housekeeper nannies wouldn’t be interested.

Now, if you are qualified to consult on preschool through high school homeschooling, balancing the needs of two upper level elementary students with one kindergartener and one preschooler or helping two children (elementary and high) with severe adhd find a way to manage the chaos/frustration of dl (parent doesn’t want to withdraw and homeschool, in case they go to hybrid by November) while also searching for the love of learning they’ve lost in the classroom?  If so, I’d be happy to share my consulting, because I have over 20 families right now.

If not, I’d suggest looking for a pod of preschool students.  I’d bet that you could make double teaching 3-5 preschoolers in a pod compared to what you would make in a preschool classroom.  Who knows, you may decide you want to nanny share for preschoolers going forward.[/quote]
