Are any nannies managing remote schooling?

Our nanny helps us manage it, but mostly my husband handles the schoolwork logistics.

Our nanny does. Both girls are in elementary school and fairly good students so they need minimal help. Our nanny is actually in college so they're all sitting there doing school work while DH and I are working.

It's been going swimmingly.

The older kid does it on her own. The little one I basically do half her homework. It’s not worth it to fight with her or have her do things she was never taught and doesn’t understand. It’s mostly busy work so to make the day go faster I do her word scrambles, music assignments which are like grade 8 level for a 3rd grader and crossword puzzles. The music teacher is ridiculous and we aren’t wasting an hour doing busy work. The kid shouldn’t be spending more time on music than math! So I do all her busy work for her so she can actually learn things like math and science. The specialty teachers have been a complete joke on distance learning and I’m not wasting time on that BS.

PS. Our nanny has not now, nor ever been, inexpensive however.

I guess this is when having a college-educated Nanny comes in handy.

Because prior to this pandemic - I really did not think it was important when choosing the right Nanny.

My post has nothing to do with the current situation, but to your point - our first nanny was not college-educated and our current one is. Our first nanny taught out children incorrect grammar and our second one corrects them. I wish we had never gone with a non-college-educated one once they could talk, although she was great with them when they were babies. Both were born in the US, English-speaking, so really the main difference was the lack of a college degree (and the lack of college-educated parents, I guess).

A college degree does not equate to good grammar. It’s more likely to correlate, but you can find both good nannies with great grammar and no degree and good nannies with degrees making awful mistakes with grammar.

Actually, it has been standard English to say “I/You/She/He graduated from high school”.
