As we gear up for the 2020-2021 school year, as parents we are making decisions we’ve never had to face before.
With schools and daycares opening up in September, parents are having to decide whether they will send their kids to school or homeschool them. It’s not an easy decision to make and most parents feel like they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
But whatever decision you make, you know your family best—have confidence in the fact that you’re making the best decision for you and your family.
If you are planning on homeschooling or relying on virtual learning, you may need an extra pair of eyes around the house. And even if you are sending your kids to school, with the strict guidelines surrounding when kids must stay home, you may find yourself in need of a casual babysitter.
We’ve rounded up the nanny and babysitter services currently available in Toronto and the GTA so that you can have the resources you need to successfully work from home and homeschool if that’s the road you choose.
