A genuine love for children is the main quality of a great nanny! Parents are sharing a piece of their heart when bringing a nanny into their private homes and entrusting them to keep their children safe and well-cared for. The highest level of care is expected especially since they may be working under no supervision or oversight.
Our Nanny Training Course was delivered by Sakina Teja, a Specialist in Early Childhood Education and Family Counselling and Certified in First Aid and CPR. For the program, we used Sakina’s 19 years of experience in the field, gathered information from online sources as well as from family and friends with children, who shared with us the most important attributes they look for when hiring help. Bobo planned its activities for the event based on the research and even put together a take-home booklet for all the nannies, as a guide if/when needed.
The core topics of the day were:
- Fundamentals of Childcare
How to understand and communicate with the child
2. How to Establish a Successful Routine
The benefits of having a routine for the child
3. Working with Parents Efficiently
How to work with parents as partners, with respect
4. Essential Skills and Knowledge for Nannies
Learn about child and self-development
5. Hygiene and Self Maintenance
Basic cleanliness mantras for the house and body
6. Health and Safety
First aid skills and safety measures
7. CPR Training
In case of emergency
Throughout the day the nannies bonded, shared experiences and challenges and confidently participated in the open floor discussions. The highlight of the event was watching Sakina bring out each nannies personality to learn about their personal goals and passions.
All the nannies present on the day really enjoyed the training and took it as a learning step in their career. They enjoyed some tea, coffee and snacks and felt really appreciative and thankful at the end of the day.
