All Nannies and caregivers are invited to attend National Nanny Training Day, hosted by ADCAN ~ Association of DC Area Nannies. You can register for the event here http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5351821442/efbevent.
Topics include: Healthy Sleep Habits presented by Hush Hush Little Baby & Haleigh Haggerton Almquist Hush Hush Little Baby seeks to provide families with the most qualified newborn care new parents deserve. We will discuss the realm of newborn care and the basics of healthy sleep in a newborn. Healthy sleep habits are sought by all parents; we will discuss what HHLB deems to be 10 healthy sleep habits to start from day one. HHLB will also discuss other important topics that pertain to newborn care like schedules, feeding and assisting parents. Finally we will discuss the profession of a newborn care specialist and what the profession entails. www.hushhushlittlebaby.com Work Place Situations and Solutions with Joda Coolidge of BrightCoach Consulting Group Even in the best of work situations, challenges often surface that can be difficult to discuss or address. Compensation, added household responsibilities, or conflicting direction from your employers are just a few. Quite often, nannies will either remain silent or let the issues build, or talk about them only with close friends. Joda Coolidge, Life and Wellness Coach, will teach you a powerful way to positively, comfortably, and confidently approach these communication challenges. You will be taught techniques to have impactful, meaningful, and results oriented conversations. http://jodacoolidge.com and http://www.bright-coach.com/ How Fast Forwarding Early Childhood Education is Indeed Leaving American Children Behind presented by Myrna Alphonse Newman Myrna Alphonse Newman has adjusted her philosophy of care and will be sharing the various ways she has evolved. This workshop is for any nanny at any stage in their career. Myrna had the unique opportunity to observe how differently the Japanese approach early learning and how well-prepared the students were for life. In the United States, by adolescence many of our students are burnt out with little intrinsic motivation needed to succeed. Consider rewinding your philosophy of care by re-examining what is really important in developmental milestones and learning why physically focused childhood development is the key to stimulating lasting emotional, social and intellectual health. Have you ever stopped to reconsider if your way of nannying is working still or do you feel stale and stalled? Perhaps a new approach is needed. How does your philosophy help enrich the children and families' life in your employment. Learn how you can apply the techniques you learn from various trainings, conferences and educational opportunities to stay on top of your nanny career. Have you stayed with what is asked of you from your nanny family or do you explore other approaches and philosophies that may be of assistance to them and you as well? Learn how Myrna's journey has helped her evolve over her 20 plus years in the nanny industry. Learn ways you can evolve as well to bring your best each day. If you are not in the metro DC area, there are 40 events planned across the country, attracting over 2100 nannies nationwide. Find an event in your area here http://nannybizreviews.com/nntd/ |

| Another stupid "national" madeup day. Can't wait to see Hallmark's new line honoring this new "national" day. |

It's a nationwide training day, not a holiday. 
Nanny associations in cities all over the country are hosting training seminars and networking groups for nannies, that's all it means. I'll be attending the training in my city. |

Bad day? It's a National event! NOT a national holiday. Read and get it right before you post such negative remarks. 2200 nannies would disagree with you that it's 'stupid'. |

| I think it's crazy how much they charge for one to be bored out of their minds. First one was free thank goodness because I was bored an hour into it. |

As someone organizing a local NNTD event, it's not like anyone is forcing uninterested or snippy nannies to attend.
It's a chance to show interest in your career, and a fairly cheap way to do so, considering how costly national conferences are with airfare, hotels, etc. No interest in bettering yourself? That's too bad. Wonder how your employers feel about that? |

I didn't learn anything at the first one I didn't already know. In fact my boss offered me a great opportunity to work that weekend to make some serious good money. When I said oh I will miss the nanny training day she said weren't you bored during the last one.
I know who nanny deb is. I figured it out on the first training day. |

| And some of you wonder why you only make $12 an hour or complain that you aren't making top salaries as a nanny. Your bad attitude towards a nanny training day explains it all. You want to make more money, improve yourself and go to training days like this or other classes that will help improve your nanny skills, instead of sitting on your butts at the park talking to your fellow incompetent nanny friends on how little you make. |

Neat but casual. Pantyhose and high heels are not required More important is a desire to learn! Myrna Alphonse Newman is worth the price of admission all by herself IMHO! She personifies professionalism.
