Gearing Up for the School Year: How a Mommy’s Helper Nanny Can Help

In what feels like the blink of an eye, the back-to-school season is upon us! Whether your child is starting back this week or later this month (or they’ve already started), every parent knows how hectic this time of the year can be. If you could use an extra pair of hands, have you thought about hiring a Mommy’s Helper nanny? This is one of the many types of nanny services Tried and True Nannies and Sitters can help you hire, and we’re happy to shed some light on this service and how it could make life easier for your family.

What Is a Mommy’s Helper Nanny?

Most nannies are hired to care for children while their parents are at work or otherwise unavailable. A Mommy’s Helper nanny is a nanny who works alongside the parent(s) to offer a helping hand with the kids. These nannies can be perfect for those busy times when you just need an extra set of trustworthy hands, like weekday mornings when you’re trying to get the kids ready for school while getting yourself ready for work.

How Can a Mommy’s Helper Nanny Make the Start of School Easier?

A Mommy’s Helper nanny can be wonderful to have around during any time of the year, but they’re especially beneficial during this challenging and stressful back-to-school season. They can help your family have a smoother fall in several ways:

Managing Extracurriculars

Some fall extracurricular activities have already started and others will begin soon, and these extracurriculars make any family’s schedule more complicated. It’s even more difficult if you have multiple kids in different sports or activities. A Mommy’s Helper nanny can help tremendously by dropping off and picking up your kids from practices or meetings, watching your other children while you attend one child’s games, and so on.

Helping with Busy School Mornings

Mornings are challenging at any point in the school year, but the beginning of the year is especially chaotic. Your kids are trying to get used to an earlier wake-up time (and you may be as well) and your family hasn’t yet found a routine that works well to get everyone out the door on time with all the supplies they need. A Mommy’s Helper nanny can give you the help you need to get everyone ready on time and help you settle into a manageable routine for the rest of the year.

Balancing Multiple Schools with Multiple Schedules

It’s difficult to stay on top of all your kids’ school needs when you have multiple children, but when those children are going to different schools, it complicates everything. You might have a child in elementary school with another child in middle school and another in high school, or maybe you have children who attend different schools because of their needs or for special programs like arts programs. A Mommy’s Helper nanny can offer you an extra driver to manage all those pick-ups and drop-offs smoothly.

Homework Help

Just as kids are trying to adjust to a different sleep schedule at the beginning of the school year, they’re trying to adjust to nightly homework too. A Mommy’s Helper nanny may be able to help your kids with their homework or keep tabs to make sure all your kids’ work gets done. Just keep in mind that if you would like your nanny to help your kids with their homework, you should discuss this in advance to make sure they’re comfortable providing that service.
