Nanny Course
"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun" Find the fun in every nannying moment by getting prepared with our online Nanny Course
Nanny training is your best career move
Looking after kids is a great way to earn pocket money, see the world or make it your profession and hanging out with kids can certainly be rewarding and fun. However, when you work as a Nanny "there is a job that must be done" and sometimes "it takes more than a spoonful of sugar" to to create a well looked after home. Besides these days we are more conscious about sugar consumption and we have the challenge of screen time to compete with that Mary Poppins never did. If kids are smart, we need to be smarter and a good Nanny knows how to catch them being good instead of up to no good. It's a delicate balance that can take years to master but the good news is Sittertrain is here to show you how you can be the "element of fun" while mastering "the job that has to be done"
Making the move from Childcare Educator to Nanny?
Are you thinking of transitioning from being a childcare educator to a nanny? This course is for you! If you have already done a childcare certificate you will know that the course is designed more for working in a childcare centre, managing groups, planning educational activities and learning about rules and regulations in a childcare setting. However, nannies are often more involved in the child's day-to-day life beyond education. You will need to be prepared to take on more household-related responsibilities tailored to each family’s needs and often forming deeper personal bonds with the family. The Sittertrain Nanny Course will help make this transition a smooth one.
