The Modules & Our Trainers

Our modules have been carefully selected, written and tweaked to ensure they give our student nannies a broad range of skills and the confidence to step into a family environment in almost any situation knowing that they can do it.

Our trainers who teach on the Junior Nanny Course have been selected and hired for their skills, knowledge and ability to inspire our student nannies to learn, ask questions and get as much out of the course as possible.

Module 1: CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL HEALTH

Dr Maryhan is a child psychologist specialising in complex anxiety, confidence and attachment. She is heavily sought after for one to one work throughout the UK and Europe, runs regular workshops, hosts online courses and has worked with children of all ages. Dr Maryhan has two teenage children and therefore her teaching combines both her professional and parental experience. The module delivered by Dr Maryhan is described by previous student nannies as ‘mind-blowing, informative and enlightening’.

Module 2: FAMILY COOKING

Bea Atkinson is a hugely experienced private caterer, has cooked for hundreds of weddings, private events, shoot lunches and high-profile dinner parties. Bea’s passion for healthy, simple and delicious food is infectious and as a mum of two pre-schoolers she understands the challenges nannies regularly face when cooking for children as part of a busy family schedule.
