Back in the day, governesses were hired to educate and care for the family\u2019s children which allowed parents to focus on work and other pursuits.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Today, when both parents still need to work but wish to home educate their children, a nanny can step up to help and it\u2019s not as daunting as it might seem.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s 5 reasons why nannies make great home educators:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike education at school, teaching qualifications are not required to home educate a child.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t have to teach the national curriculum, you can choose what to learn.<\/li>\n<li>A lot of the daily activities nannies already do with children can form part of their learning. Even things like going to the shops or the local park can be turned into lessons on money management and nature.<\/li>\n<li>If children already have a great bond with their nanny, they\u2019re more likely to enjoy learning with their nanny.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not about resources, but the time you put in. Simply having someone who\u2019s encouraging them to learn and can help turn ordinary life events into learning experiences is invaluable to a home educating child.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Home schooling is also a great way for nannies to spend time with other home educating adults. By joining local home educating groups, both nanny and child will have opportunities to socialise.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a home schooling nanny?
