Come along with us on a journey through child centered care with an expert in the field: Rob Fox, The Cambridge Manny 💛
In this interview we will discuss what is child centered care, sometimes called child led learning. It's easy to define a child's care by our predefined ideas or thoughts about a manner, but allowing children to become instructors of their own learning allows them to discover themselves while you guide and help them along.
The benefits of child centered learning an care are numerous.
Children learn when children play, and children play in their own unique ways. Giving a child ownership of their own experience, care, and learning, makes it more enjoyable and more engaging at the same time.
According to Rob, there is a tremendous benefit of child led learning. This involves integrating learning into situations that the child might find themselves in on a day-to-day basis. You can teach them that they can learn while doing things that they enjoy in an environment where they are safe and are interested in being.
It can be hard to implement child centered care, so give this interview a listen to get some ideas on how to implement child led learning.

As a nanny, I’ve looked into getting certified as a Doula & Newborn Care Specialist, but am just not quite convinced.
What has really set me apart from other nannies in my area is simply my professionalism. Taking responsibilities for my taxes by coming to the interview with a contract as a self-employed nanny gets them every time. It also, doesn’t hurt that I’m fluent in American Sign Language! 😉

Can a nanny homeschool?
Yes! Here’s how to find them & what to pay them.
What kind of education background should they have?
Most nannies have tutoring experience or have taken Early Childhood Education classes. Make sure the subjects and grade levels they feel comfortable teaching are the ones you and your little ones need.
How much should I pay them?
I’ve made a nanny calculator that will help you figure out exactly how much you should expect to pay for a nanny in your area. This calculator is one of the free resources included in the first email you receive after signing up for my newsletter.
https://ohsosimply.com/nanny-rates-calculator/
Factors the calculator includes are:
-Minimum wage in your area
-Number of children they’ll look after
-Years of experience
-How much time is spent teaching
-Whether or not they’ll be expected to do other household chores
Consider balancing extra household chores with the time you expect them to tutor your little ones. They only have so much time in one day and you don’t want to burn them out.
