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.
