Professional Development
for Nannies
I provide professional development to assist nannies in making their working conditions work for them, so they can focus on caring for their charges with ease and pride.
I work one-on-one and in groups with nannies around issues such as:
Ayurvedic and holistic information for common childhood illnesses and issues
Contract and wage negotiation
Difficulties and frustrations with particular age groups
Eating healthy on the job for yourself and your charges
Establishing healthy employer/employee dynamics
How to incorporate playlistening into the work day
How to talk with employers about uncomfortable topics
Long term professional goals and dreaming
Nanny industry 101: laws and local ‘norms’
Portfolio creation
Self confidence
Tax reporting and general nanny IRS information
What is playlistening?
Being a nanny is one of the most important and rewarding professions on the planet.
Young people are keen to observe how we as adults talk to others, who we look up to, what we eat, if we value cleanliness, who we are friends with, how we spend our free time, etc. Young people are eager to follow in our footsteps and nannies are eager to show them good and compassionate ways to be human. The nanny industry is not a fancy or flashy industry, it’s a place where people work hard day in and day out, sometimes with little or no recognition.
My fees for nannies and other domestic workers are significantly lower than what I charge otherwise.
These subsidized fees are made possible by other clients electing to pay higher than the sliding scale base. I believe very strongly in nannies having support and resources to make their work situations and lives work for them. If you are interested in creating a small learning group of nannies to keep costs even lower, please be in touch. This applies to any service I offer.
If you are an employer and would like to gift any kind of session I offer to a domestic worker you employ, I warmly encourage that. Any of my services gifted to a domestic worker are charged at the Tier 3 rate. A happy nanny makes for a very happy and joyful family.
