What can be done to help a robin who can't build a nest?

I have a robin in my yard feverishly trying to build a nest. She brings material over to crooks and crannys to try to make nests to doesn't seem to know how to assembly the material once she gets it there. We have piles of sticks and straw everywhere. Enough to make a dozen nests. It is draped everywhere and anywhere. This morning I took a small box and with gloves on, put some of the material in it and wedged it in the rafters of the carport. She is now draping straw above the box. Is there anything I can do to help this poor mom-to-be?

Give him a scolarship to a good building school.
