Finding a teacher who’d like to leave their job and nanny?

Absolutely, as purely an hourly rate. But tutoring is usually very short and not stable. Combining it with childcare or doing homeschooling allows for stable employment at a higher rate.

I'm a nanny and a preschool teacher.

Infants, toddlers already have teachers, its THIER NANNIES!
Appreciate them, every situation is a learning experience for kids even for babies. Talk to them, make conversations (no much baby talk), describe things like color, shapes, etc. Kids learn by hearing, playing with others and solitary play by itself.
Show empathy, understanding and in force positive dicipline, solitary play but you can still talk to them but not next to each other like glue or the kid will develop high anxiety whenever the caregiver isn'tso close( it teaches toddlers even some babies to be less anxious and to have more tolerance to frustration and not get too angry and upset.)

I only talk to my toddler in Spanish since she was a baby and she understands so many directions, even tho she couldn't speak words or two together she understood like passing a toy, cleaning up your things before lunch, and praise the good behavior. Now when I tell her a word in Spanish she responds with the same word or in Emglish. For toddler shes so smart and is already connecting the words.
When she says bear, then repeat bear, yes bear. Then say a second word like brown bear, color brown like bear, and she listens and repeats.

All these things most nannies does and they do a great job! Teaching them manners, reconnecting words, conversations in any environment, let the kid explore the world with solitary play too and enforce positive dicipline and directions. Kids learning directions are less anxious and less frustrated. And teach them they can't always have what they want. And later they learned that is fine and don't get so frustrated and emotional and are more tolerant.

Nannies do a wonderful job with thier kids, they are the teachers for your kids. First safety, then teach manners and then education. Being smart doesn't mean being a good person and empathic.
Teach kids to wait your turn, have patience, when no one is playing with that toy then you can play with it, ice cream later ok, later yes. If you say no, try to say something positive after like what things the kid can do.
It's so easy, just talk to your kids, be calm. And if they cry, only they can calm down themselves then say are you done crying? Then come play with us.
Nannies teaches the same things as a preschool teacher does. Now if the kid is 3 years old then the nanny can get a preschool book and do more crafts, even at 2. They don't need a lot of crafty activities, kids learns more by playing, lots of pretend play and conversation.
It's like learning a new language, you know the books but you learn better by talking with others. Talk your kids in other languages, they are very smart as young as 1 year and a half and reconnects Spanish and English words together and more if they were listening and spoken since a baby.
