The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) shows that the defining factor in having academically successful children of parents that work outside the home is the household help that they hire. The NAS studies show that families that hire great childcare providers are in a stronger position to have children that are successful in school. Children of working parents that do not have the support of homework helpers are less likely to achieve as well in school.
Assisting children with homework helps you identify problems or difficulties students are having learning. Homework is an opportunity for children to review what they have learned and prepare for the next day's class. Homework helps teach students to use resources, manage their time, meet deadlines, and become more independent.
While helping children with homework nannies and au pairs can help children develop a love of learning, help encourage self-discipline, and ultimately help children to be successful in school. Doing homework is also an opportunity for children to gain self confidence and good self-esteem.
I don't understand why parents of school aged kids hire nannies without good educations. I have to help with homework and I have nanny friends that can't help much with homework. Make no sense why someone who can't read well would be caring for school aged kids with homework and they can't help.
ReplyDeleteNannies play an important part in every household. Nannies become the second mothers every time the real mother is not around. This is why it is very important to conduct a nanny background check to always be sure that you are entrusting your kids to the right person.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I have to disagree with the Anonymous commenter. Some nannies have good education. In fact, various nanny agencies today require a certain course or training for a person to be a nanny. Some nanny's who are hired through doing background check have good educational background which is why online investigation is advisable before hiring.
