Nanny Training Programme.
Confident care, in capable hands.

Yes — we run it as a refresher with newer evidence on sleep, feeding and first aid.

Both. Most cohorts are booked by employers (parents) for their own nanny — but we also welcome nannies who self-fund or whose agency sponsors them. The teaching style works for either route.

English, at a pace and vocabulary that works for nannies who use English as a second or third language. Materials are illustrated and we recap each day in plain English. If your nanny is comfortable with conversational English, she will follow this.

Yes — the most common arrangement is that the family covers the programme as part of onboarding, and your nanny attends the cohort days plus the online sessions around her hours. Talk to me if your handover dates are tight; I can sometimes flex around them.

The programme is delivered as a multi-day cohort covering the full curriculum — that's the best value and the route we recommend. If you only need part of it, talk to Lisa about a tailored or private in-home arrangement.

The programme covers first aid awareness — EFR-aligned CPR, choking, burns and emergency response, practised hands-on — and every nanny takes home a first aid / CPR take-away guide to refresh the key steps at home. This is first aid awareness, not a separately accredited first aid qualification.

Lisa Adair — a registered paediatric NICU nurse with 20+ years' experience — leads the feeding, sleep, safety and hygiene teaching, alongside a small faculty of trusted specialists. Child development, behaviour and play are led by Hannah of The Child Unplugged.

This is a training programme, not an agency. We don't sponsor visas or place nannies — but the certificate of completion is useful for your household file and for any future visa renewal that asks for evidence of formal training.

Our full cancellation and refund terms are set out on our terms & conditions page. If you need to move your nanny to a later cohort, talk to Lisa and we'll do our best to help.

Most nanny training in Dubai is delivered by generalist educators or play-based practitioners. Lisa is a registered paediatric NICU nurse (20+ years), an IBCLC and a DHA-licensed nurse in Dubai. The feeding module is built on the same clinical evidence base she uses with families one-to-one. The first aid block is taught hands-on by someone who has run real infant emergency protocols on the ward — not in a classroom. That's a meaningful difference when the person being trained will be alone in your home with a newborn.

Yes. The newborn-care foundations — first aid awareness (infant CPR, choking, emergency response), feeding (breastfeeding support, formula prep, paced feeding), safe sleep (newborn environments, early routines) and hygiene and personal care (bathing, cord care, infection prevention) — form a coherent block within the programme. If your nanny's focus is the newborn and early-weeks period, those cover the foundations a maternity nanny needs in a household setting. The full programme is broader — development, behaviour, play, technology and ethics — which rounds out the qualification and makes the certificate useful across the whole first year.
