The first of its kind. This is not a child development course. This is a Professional Nanny training, teaching the skills, systems and standards of an elite nanny, taught by a former nanny and governess to UHNW households, directly to the staff already in your home.
And you are now paying her to raise your children.
The woman in your home was hired as a domestic helper. Her contract says maid. Her visa says maid. Her training, if she received any, was for cleaning a house. Not for the safety, the development, or the care of a child.
She is doing her best with what she has. But you can feel the gap, every day.
You can fire and rehire, and start the same problem again. Or you can train the woman you already trust around your children. This is the second option.
The structure of every day inside the workshop.
Must always come first. Paediatric first aid, water safety, risk anticipation, and the mindset that prevents the call you never want to receive.
Routines, travel and packing, menus, sleep, screens, and the daily work of running a child's life with precision.
Discretion, conduct, presentation, social media, and the line between her role and a maid's, taught clearly, once.
Communication, handovers, partnership with the principal. The mindset that turns a placement into a long stay.
The onboarding document your household has never had, and the single biggest reason nannies fail.
Every nanny who attends builds her own Nanny Manual. A complete operational reference for your specific home. The children's schedules, teachers, doctors, friends, allergies, emergency protocols, household rules, the foods they will and will not eat, the small things you find yourself explaining over and over again.
It is the asset that outlasts the nanny who built it. The next time you hire, she will not arrive to a blank slate. She will arrive to a manual. You will not be starting from scratch again.
"When I moved to the Middle East, what I saw broke my heart. A child crawling on a concrete patch, eating crisps off the floor, while the nanny sat chatting to her friend, her phone propped up on the floor with a cartoon to keep him quiet."
"This is not the nannies' fault. They have been put in charge of children with no training, no onboarding, and no real understanding of what is expected of them. We have invested nothing in them."
"The Professional Nanny Standard is my answer to that."
I am a British nanny and governess of fifteen years, with a career built inside elite UHNW households in London and the UAE. I have worked across the globe for UHNW families, and I have been inside the households of this region. I understand the standard, because I have lived it.
