[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An 11 year old does not need a nanny,![/quote]

An 11yo with younger siblings, lower end of normal range for maturity and/or special needs would need a nanny.  A neurotypical 11yo who struggles with focus and/or understanding school work may need a nanny or in-person teacher to be able to navigate dl.[/quote]

You don't leave an 11 year old home all day alone.  That is neglect.[/quote]

A mature 11yo, with a vide check in from a parent 2-4 times per day?  Sure.  Especially if you can check online during your lunch to verify that schoolwork is getting done.

But that’s an 11yo by themself or with older siblings present (not responsible for the 11yo).

Personally, I think it’s bizarre to pick out the 11yo, since the younger kids are 5yo and 8yo, and nobody will debate whether they need supervision.  If the nanny is there ALL children will listen to and respect the nanny, and nanny will be in charge of all children, regardless of age.  Idc if the problem is coming from a 7yo or 17yo, I will solve it (which may mean asking a teen to go to their room and stop yelling at an annoying younger sibling).

And with dl?  I got numerous requests from parents of Ms/hs students, because the kids aren’t organized, aren’t mature enough or don’t have (any) enough common sense to stay home alone all day.  That’s disregarding the students who need help with the curriculum...[/quote]
