Benefits of Becoming A ‘My Place’ Educator:
- Enjoy the extra income. If you are already at home caring for your own grandchildren, why not get paid while doing it? Even better, set your own fees to determine exactly how much you will get paid. A new research shows that two in five Australian grandparents believe they should be paid for taking care of their grandchildren, with the average of 16 hours per week.

“Age segregation creates myths and stereotypes about each group. In reality, children can relieve isolation, loneliness and boredom of seniors. Older adults can provide positive role models for children, sometimes furnishing a caring relationship for children from distressed families – and giving older adults valuable ways to get involved in their community.
Today, in many communities older adults are reading tutors to young students, sharing their cultural heritage and family traditions with youth, and serving as child care workers.” (source: www.gu.org)
