This was an excellent course and I will be recommending it to all nannies (especially newer nannies) and to parents who will be hiring nannies (for the nanny to complete). Very thorough!

Nanny Stefanie

This is the best course and I think every nanny should take this course. I would hire anyone who took this course if I was a parent. I have a degree in social work and have worked with children for years and I am telling you, I love this course. It goes in depth and is in detail. I would highly recommend this course.

I am an early childhood education major so a lot of the material was informative as far as child development and I personally really enjoyed the psychology units. I’m interviewing for my first actual nanny position, so I also thought the interviewing and nanny job description sections were also informative:) I’m interested in the information so it was a really fun course for me.
