Working with a playmate is a great way to support your child's development and ensure that they have a fun time. You can find a solution that suits both your child's and your needs, especially with flexible options such as part-time playmate, hourly playmate or half-day playmate. By working with a university playmate, you can also get a young and energetic support who will help your child with their lessons and play with them after homework is done.
