Nannyscircle.com started as an online tool to help provide structure and organization for families challenged by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
But it's proving beneficial to all kids and their families.
Nannyscircle.com provides parents reminders for Little League, dance class and PTA meetings. The online tool even reminds children of assigned chores — and rewards them when chores are successfully completed.
How does nannyscircle.com work?
Both parent and child are given their own rooms in Nanny's house. Rooms are full of tools for daily living.
Nannyscircle.com allows families to set up weekly routines and tasks, and mark them off when the child completes them. When tasks are completed, Nanny Points are awarded.
These points can be spent on virtual decorations, games, toys and personalized coupons that can be printed and redeemed for prizes in the Nanny Store.
In addition, children can be issued virtual consequences for incomplete work or misbehavior.
Nannyscircle.com is $9.95 per month for unlimited use by up to three family members (one parent and two children). A total of six children in one family can be added at any time.
