We often hear from nannies that their hours or jobs are being eliminated because the parents want to move the children into a more structured daycare or pre-school program for social and emotional development.   We know that a nanny can also provide a lot of social and emotional growth for the children in her care, but it requires some forethought and planning on the family and nanny’s part.  In our quest to continue to help nannies with tools for helping them grow as caregivers, here are some very interesting websites that offer a ton of valuable tools on how you can work with the children in your care.
