Nanny Tips:

Education In The Field of Child Development:

A career in the nanny field doesn’t require a college degree, certifications or accreditations. The only prerequisite is a big heart, unfailing energy, and the best of intentions.  Educate yourself in as much as you can by researching things online, joining nanny forums/seminars, or child development classes in your community. Here are some topics in which you can use to your advantage as a nanny and have more fun at work!

  • Ages and stages children’s development
  • Dealing with typical children’s behaviors
  • How to speak to children
  • Redirection methodology
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Preparing food for children of all ages
  • Children sleeping and eating patterns
  • Potty training (day and night)
  • Get knowledge about different food allergies/intolerance
  • Know difference between different parenting styles
  • Creative art for children
  • Music and movement ideas
  • Dramatic play

Teaching through play and engagement fosters physical, emotional and cognitive developmental milestones. While repetitive activities reinforce children’s knowledge about themselves and the ice1world around them.  Bring those ideas to your job and see how much more fun you will have with your charges. Allow children the freedom and autonomy to explore their ideas and do what they want.  Allow for mistakes and let them make errors, giving them the opportunity to make different choices.  Emphasize the process and not the product.

  • Art projects
  • Sensory play
  • Dramatic play
  • Imaginary play
  • Cooking projects
  • Physical activity
  • Music and movement
