Can Nannies be Pre-school Educators?

 

A little bundle of joy seeks one-on-one attention and care. At the same time, these kids are in stage and age of development when they best develop their brain, skills and learn new activities. So, at this stage, they must be provided with interactive platforms and smart educators. When it comes to the professional care of infants and toddlers, the nanny is the best option. However, can Nanny also play the role of preschool educator for a kid? Yes, a nanny can very well play the role of home-based educator and sometimes more than that. Let us find out how:

Home-based educator

A nanny can impart basic discipline and make a child learn new things in a fun-filled way to make the learning and fun go together. A nanny is like a family member with whom the child will not feel like he/she is studying under stringent rules and will enjoy learning the names of colours, fruits, etc.

No Pick-ups and Drop-offs

A nanny either stays at home or comes home daily to take care of the kid. She spends a lot of time with the apple of your eyes. This time can be utilised in the best way if nanny teaches the kid and in turn, gives him/her some rewards. A nanny can be a preschool teacher with no need for the child to visit any school. A nanny is a jobholder at the home of the family only so there is no requirement to drop-offs and pick-ups.

No need for the sick-leave

When the child is sick, there is no need to take a sick-leave because a nanny is present to take care of the kid. A nanny can customise the schedule according to the convenience of the kid and the family.

One-to-one learning

A nanny, unless not shared with a friend, gives all the attention to your child and looks after him/her on a one-to-one basis.  The schedule can also be set according to individual needs. Besides, the huge amount spent together gives nanny an idea about the ability and perception of a kid that facilitates the communication & understanding between the two.

Group learning is still there

Nannies can take the kids for group learning to playgroups, music groups and group activities where the child can learn the development of sibling-like relationships with other kids. The group activities will inculcate social skills within the kid.

Household duties and Teaching

Nannies can do household duties and make kids participate in these activities like while cutting the fruits she can ask for fruits’ name and while folding the clothes she may ask for different colours, etc. In this way, she can complete the household work and keep the child engaged in some learning tasks. Nannies can run the errands and teach counting as well.

Cost and Contract (nanny vs another educator)

Nannies impart the skills without charging any additional charges, so the cost of the nannies in comparison to other educators is calculated to be lower. Besides, agencies on mud (MadeUrDay) helps you with all of these formalities along with the employment agreement contracts whereas, in case of other educators, a contract is provided by the educator him/herself.

Educated nannies hired through mud(MadeUrDay) global platform ensure and make the child ready for school by imparting and enhancing their basic skill-set.
