Nanny Training Programme.
Confident care, in capable hands.
An evidence-based programme that gives your nanny the tools and confidence to care for your baby safely. Practical, hands-on training tailored to the realities of working in a Dubai household — feeding, sleep, safety, first aid, and responsive interaction.

Each starts in a different place. Most of you will see yourself in one of them — but the course is built to flex around whichever you are.
First family or first newborn.
Foundational skills so they're safe and confident from day one.
You want alignment with your approach.
Same techniques you'd use, taught directly to your nanny.

Five things you'll actually be able to do.
Safe, responsive newborn handling.
Bottle feeding without nipple confusion or overfeeding.
Sleep foundations and safe-sleep practice.
First aid awareness — CPR, choking and emergency response.

Ten modules. Roughly this shape.
Ten modules across in-person practical days, live online sessions and self-led study — 17 practical hours, 8 online hours and 12+ self-led hours.
