Now that online learning has continued into the fall with a more robust curriculum, this role has grown even more. This has presented new challenges and new opportunities for nannies, and it\u2019s important (even this late in the game) to clarify expectations.<\/p>\n

\nIS: Their role should be to supervise your children, tend to their emotional well being, and keep them on track in regards to focus, and completion of assignments.
\nIS NOT: Unless you have hired a true Child Educator, they should not be in charge of checking assignments\u2019s accuracy or content. Their teacher\u2019s job is to correct assignments, as well as to provide instruction and curriculum.<\/p>\n
\nOops, you may have forgotten this part, but changing it from here on out is still worth doing. If your nanny\u2019s role evolved and\/or grew, be sure that you create a new Employment Agreement that outlines the new responsibilities, removes any duties that are no longer applicable (due to time constraints), and increase the pay to compensate your nanny for their flexibility to add this additional education role.<\/p>\n
\nBe sure to schedule regular check-ins to understand your child\u2019s progress, and to maintain clear expectations. Additionally, be sure that you share any school updates with your nanny, so that they have everything they need to successfully support your children.<\/p>\n
