Nanny Training Seminar

The Beacon Hill Nannies training session is a nanny's requirement for placement. It is held one Saturday each month and should be attended as close to a nanny's starting date with a family as possible. It is not designed to teach a nanny how to care for children, but more to deal with professionalism, the role of a nanny within the family, communication, and how to handle issues that may arise. It is also a great opportunity to meet and share ideas with other nannies.
