That’s a really open ended question.

How close to you are they? They sound like they’re old enough to be left on their own for brief periods so there’s not the need for babysitting if their mom needs to go somewhere.

Offer to help with grading schoolwork if what they do has an answer key. That’s the one part of homeschooling which I completely despised. Some people don’t mind it though.

What skills do you have that you could help? Writing? Music? Art? You could take them on field trips.

They’re 13 and 14 and live 45 minutes away from me. They are well rounded girls also. No, babysitting is not needed as they also have an older sister who has already graduated.

I’ve already thought of taking them on a tour of my workplace to see how product arrives at the warehouse all the way thru to the sales floor. If the company will allow that. It was also mentioned to let them see the payroll office and how deductions are made etc. Which is really a good idea I thought.

Distance does create a problem, as well as my work schedule, but for field trips I can schedule around those.
