As with any nannying role, patience is a must.

Patience is also a must. There may be times when your kids are frustrated or have difficulty adapting to the change of schooling this year. A patient nanny will be aware of this and be thoughtful in how she works and deals with your kids.

Teachers all over the country are looking at new and creative ways to engage students virtually.

Nannies are an incredibly valuable part of a family. They not only provide loving care to children while parents are busy or working, but they also provide an extra hand that parents often need. Nannies should be willing to help step in to help with grace and patience. So, whether that’s helping with keeping kids on task during a Zoom call with their teacher, helping answer a question on homework, or assisting with cleanup in the kitchen while you help your kids with a math project, your nanny is there to lend assistance when needed.
