It’s the annual question most parents have to ask themselves every summer: are you ready for the upcoming school year? If your answer is no, you’re in good company.
We surveyed 2,000 American parents of school-aged children and here’s what they told us.
Half of parents simply just don’t feel prepared for this next school year.
In fact, they can’t even remember what it was like to have a regular morning routine for in-person school.
And it’s no wonder—schedules and routines have been in constant flux for the past year and a half. Most of us are exhausted and overwhelmed.
However, there has been an upside! A majority of parents agree that because of all of this, their kids have learned to become more self-sufficient and mature.
However, regardless of the growth we’ve seen in our kids, it doesn’t change the fact that parenting can take a major toll through its mental load.
So don’t go it alone! Parents are in agreement: relief is possible when you add an extra set of hands into the mix. Hundreds of babysitters and nannies with all kinds of backgrounds and experience join Sittercity every day. Find the child care support your family needs.
