Nanny Training
Practical, in-home training that gives your nanny the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide safe, capable, and consistent care.
Our newborn nanny training is designed for nannies who are new to newborn care or have limited experience with babies. Our experienced nurse educator provides practical, hands-on training in your own home, covering the essential skills needed to safely care for and support a newborn.
Training can be tailored to your requirements and your baby’s needs, using your own equipment and routines wherever possible. From newborn handling and feeding to bathing, hygiene, sleep and settling, we focus on the practical skills your nanny needs to feel confident and capable from day one.
