NannyMoon confinement nannies in a hands-on training class

NannyMoon training

Practical preparation before a nanny enters your home.

Screening is only the beginning. Nannies practise the routines families depend on and receive feedback before placement.

Five-stage pathway

From application to placement readiness.

Nannies are reviewed on their background, practical skills, judgement, communication, and consistency before they are considered ready for placement.

Medical review

Nannies learn when a concern needs medical attention.

Dr Ryan Lee Wai Kheong contributes a medical perspective to training topics around mother recovery, breastfeeding support, newborn hygiene, and common concerns. Nannies are caregivers, not clinicians, so they are also taught to involve parents and healthcare professionals when something falls outside everyday care.
