Caring for a baby is an extremely important job. All children deserve to be cared for with respect, right from the day they are born.
This course is for in-home caregivers (nannies or domestic helpers), offering knowledge and practice to equip them with the skills to handle young children confidently. Caregivers are also shown how to promote a child's development holistically, including providing quality interaction and play.
