Just like any career, professional growth for nannies and personal staff  is becoming more accessible with online and childcare training courses. It is now easier for professionals to  aim for professional development to expand their knowledge and expertise.

Do not hesitate to support your personal staff with professional development because you fear they will leave your family. As your personal staff  gains more knowledge and expertise, you as their  employer can reap benefits as well.

Your personal staff  Can Apply The Learnings To Your Family.

Supporting your personal staff, will make them feel that

they are  part of your family. Anything they learn, they  will proudly use that knowledge to better serve your

family.

For example, your nanny learning Early Childhood Education will greatly benefit your children. If

there is specific expertise you want your nanny to know, encourage her to learn. Keep her motivated by

asking her to share her learnings by asking her to share what she learned.

Supporting your professional staff  Fosters a healthy relationship. Your private staff  will be more inclined to do better when they feel that you consider them as part of your family. This will motivate your private staff  to learn more with the goal of becoming better, playing  a vital role in your family. Supporting your private staff also sets a good example for your children.

Child Care Is Evolving.

Admit it or not, childcare is evolving. What your nanny knew the time you hired

her may be outdated. It is time to update her skills and knowledge. As parents, you want what’s best for

your children. You do not want them to have a nanny that is behind with skills and new information.

With your nanny being in the know of the latest information, you will feel more secure that your

children are in capable hands.

Your Nanny’s Success Is Your Success. As much as you want to, the time will come that you and your

nanny will part ways. It could be the end of her contract or you are no longer needing her service. Your

nanny will be grateful that you have supported her. It will be your pride that your nanny will now have a

stellar resume because you have supported her. By supporting her you have set her up for success.

 There are many other ways to support your nanny. It’s important to remember that you are entrusting

your children to her. She holds a key to ensuring that your children are having the best quality childcare.
