Continuing Education Classes: Child and Family Nutrition
Coast to Coast Nannies is excited to announce that, as promised, we are ready to roll out our continuing education classes for nannies and families! Our first offering is a three-part series presented by Lara Fields from Feed Nutrition Consulting. This series with be three one-hour long virtual classes covering the topics of transitioning to solids, effectively handling picky eating in children, and family-oriented meal planning and preparation. Lara is a busy working mom of two herself and a former Mom Boss who fully appreciates the vital role nannies fulfill.
These classes will be both informative and interactive with allotted time for questions and conversations. All participants will receive take home information so they can focus on being present during the classes and not concerned about taking notes. After the final session, each nanny will receive a certificate of completion they may add to their resume or portfolio. The classes will be held on Wednesdays: January 5th, February 19th, and March 2nd from 7:00-8:00pm CST (8-9pm for our DMV nannies and families). The total cost for all three parts is $75.
Parents, we encourage you to consider covering the cost of the class if your nanny is interested in participating. We firmly believe that continuing education classes for nannies are lacking in an industry where it is of the utmost importance to maintain a current knowledge base. Investing in your nanny’s hypothetical box of professional tools will directly benefit your child(ren) and family. This can be a great addition to their holiday bonus or gift!
