about us

Nanny Training Workshops at affordable prices

The Nanny Movement was born out of a deep passion for education and early childhood development. We acknowledge the fact that all parties present in a baby, toddler or child’s life need to be well informed and trained to reach the goal of a solid foundation in our children’s lives.

Imagine the impact on our society if we can change the way children are taken care of in their early years. We are passionate about designing workshops with relevant information about childcare, brain development and baby and child stimulation.

Part 2 Done👌 I had the wonderful opportunity of completing Nanny Movement Part 2 with Lauren, and I would like to say a big thank you to her for such an amazing training experience. ❤️ Lauren is a knowledgeable, patient and passionate facilitator who made the training interesting, practical and easy to understand. I really appreciated how she shared her knowledge, guided us through each topic and encouraged us to participate and learn from one another. Although I had completed Nanny Movement Part 1, Part 2 was a completely different learning experience and added so much more knowledge and confidence to what I had already learned.
