Wondering what sort of solutions people are using for looking after/ while helping their kids' learning at home? Has anyone got in a tutor in for quite long stretches during the day for their child? Or used a nanny/babysitter and asked them to help tutoring? I know they're not the same thing at all but I'm wondering what people have done, have they used agencies or asked around locally for a young person willing to do it?
Wondering about this for DS (8) at least for 'summer holidays' - we'll have to keep up learning as there won't be much else to do and he is somewhat behind (pending diagnosis on ADHD) and then if he doesn't go back to school in September or not ft (I'm assuming even best case is going to be a few days a week) we might want to keep them on to help. This is all dependent on DH work situation - he is on a well-paid contract at the moment, but it's only short unless the project they are trialling is taken on by their client, but if he does keep working on it after the end of this month, we could definitely afford to take someone on to do it. DS doesn't have any behavioural problems, so he's not super challenging or anything, he's just inattentive and needs someone patient.
I'm working FT from home, like DH, but having to do all the stuff with DS because DH's role is much more relentless than mine and he has no leeway at all. But it's also become clear that DD (nearly 12) needs more support than we thought so it is all getting quite a lot for me
