Play Sister

You undoubtedly want your child to spend quality and fun times with a university-educated play sister, to model a reliable and cultured young person, and to start learning a foreign language at a young age. Many families are extremely satisfied with the contribution these trained young people make to their children's development of manual skills, broadening their horizons, and spending their time with educational games. Damla Consulting is also pleased to assist you and your children with its team of qualified and reliable play sisters. We are just a phone call away when you want to meet with those who have the desired characteristics among these young people, who are also very beneficial for children with slow development or mental issues, and start a beautiful process for your child.

If your child is autistic, you have probably done a lot of research on this subject and know that autistic children need to receive intensive special education. A play sister who is a high school graduate or a university student can provide many things your child needs. If you explain in writing and verbally how your trained babysitter should behave towards your child, what they should try to teach, and in which areas they should help your child's development, your play sister will adhere to these instructions precisely. Thus, the program your child sees at school continues and is reinforced outside of school. The education autistic children receive at school is below what it should be, and these knowledgeable, skilled, and talented young people will be your greatest helpers in closing this gap.

The duration of time your play sister spends with your child is determined according to your request. Some families prefer a live-in babysitter and allocate a room for this purpose in their homes. Some want to receive service for half a day, while others may want it for one or two hours. Sometimes parents need to attend an event or want to go to the cinema together, and they look for a play sister who will stay with their children during this time. Some families prefer young people who are proficient in English or another language or have an interest in an art field and want them to pass on this interest and knowledge to their children. As Damla Human Resources, we are happy to meet all your requests in this regard.

Some parents with preschool or school-aged children feel the need to agree with a play sister who will take care of their children. Trained play sisters are responsible not for the personal care of children like babysitters but more for their cultural and social development.

Who is a Play Sister?

A play sister is a type of educator who reads books with your child, provides education in areas such as science, culture, and sports, helps them with their homework, supports their intellectual development, and enables them to acquire new skills or develop existing talents.

What Does a Play Sister Do?

*Finds and implements ways to spend quality time with your child. This can include reading books, playing educational games, creating things with crafts, drawing, or helping them progress in using a musical instrument.

*Play sisters who have received training or have skills in a specific area help your child develop in that area. To ensure this, you need to specify the particular qualities you want candidates to have when you post an ad like "I am looking for a play sister" or ask for help finding someone among your acquaintances.

For example, if you want your child to learn English, you should specify that you are looking for a play sister who speaks English. If you are looking for an instructor who can play the guitar or bağlama, play chess, swim, or do yoga, you should enter that kind of search.

*Identifies your child's skills and provides you with information on this matter.

*Depending on your agreement, they can accompany your family during travel and holidays. During this time, they continue to fulfill their duties and ensure your child is safe when you are not around.

*Takes your child out, takes them to age-appropriate cultural activities such as cinema, theater, and exhibitions.

*Encourages your child's verbal development and helps increase their social skills.

Advantages of Working with a Play Sister

*You can be sure that your child is having a good time doing both fun and beneficial things while you are at work or out at night.

*You ensure that your child starts to progress in a specific area from a young age. (Foreign language, art, sports, etc.)

*A trained play sister helps your child prepare for exams, cope with exam stress, and gain more confidence in this regard.

*Experienced play sisters who have received training in child development can assist children who have issues expressing themselves verbally, integrating into society, and communicating with their peers.

*If your social life is active, and you frequently go out at night and on weekends, and especially in such situations, if you need someone who will be with your child and ensure they spend their time appropriately, a play brother or sister can be your greatest helper.

Who is a Play Brother?

As you can understand from the name, a play brother is equal to a play sister in terms of duties and responsibilities, with the only difference being that he is male.

Families looking for trained personnel to assist in their children's physical, social, and cultural development tend to prefer women, but in some cases, agreeing with a play brother can be more advantageous.

Benefits of Spending Time with a Play Sister for Children

Are you able to set aside time to play games with your child that are sometimes purely for fun, sometimes educational, or a mix of both? If you conduct research on the effects of games on child development, you will see that experts place great importance on this issue. A play sister plays games with your child that are suitable for their age, level, interests, and skills, ensuring that they have fun while also developing physically and mentally.

Helping the child they guide to improve their special skills is also among the play sister's duties. To ensure this, you need to meet with candidates who have knowledge and experience in the relevant skill. For example, if your child is good at drawing, you should look for someone who can assist them in this area.

Differences Between a Play Sister and a Babysitter

The play sister you agree with can also take care of your child's personal care when necessary and according to your agreement, but they are fundamentally not a babysitter. Play sisters are more responsible for children's social, cultural, and physical development, acquiring certain skills in these areas, and developing existing skills.

University-educated play sisters who have received training in child development and education are like qualified and beneficial friends for children. They know how to lower their authority as adults to a child's level. They are knowledgeable about methods of educating a child in a certain direction.

Responsibilities and Duties of a Play Sister

In ads like "I am looking for a play sister", families often look for characteristics such as knowing a foreign language like French, German, or English, being skilled in playing chess or certain crafts. A good play sister possesses qualities such as the balance of discipline and comfort that a good babysitter should have, loving children and being able to communicate with them, being patient and cheerful. On the other hand, they may also need to have qualifications such as having received training in child development and being particularly good in a specific area.

Play sisters have some specific qualities that are not sought in an average babysitter. They have received training in child-related fields, and certain intellectual characteristics are expected of them. These characteristics vary according to the needs of families. The number of families looking for a play sister who speaks English is quite high, but there are also families looking for individuals who are proficient in other languages like Russian or Spanish.

The play sister you hire guides your child in the areas and ways you want while also making observations and sharing their findings with you. They are knowledgeable and conscious about the importance of spending quality time with children and act accordingly. They ensure that your school-going child completes their homework, reviews topics they do not understand well, and checks completed assignments. They help prepare for exams.

Play Sister Fees

Play sister fees vary depending on the educator's educational background, the characteristics they possess, and whether they work as a day or live-in play sister. Job ads for play sisters may require some educators to work for 2-3 hours a day several days a week, while others may work all day or provide live-in services. Additionally, characteristics such as having specific knowledge and experience in a certain area may also be sought. The fee you need to pay varies according to the items listed in the play sister job description you determine and the working hours.

Play Sister Collaborates with Parents

Trained play sisters are good observers in matters related to children. While educating your child in the direction and style you want, they also identify any deficiencies or characteristics that could be beneficial for their development and share their observations with you.
