Representing Travel Nannies with the British National Nanny Association
Representing Travel Nannies with the British National Nanny AssociationI’m very pleased to share that I have recently become the Travel Nanny Representative for the British National Nanny Association (NNA).For me,…
So You Think You Don’t Need Professional Strategy & Mentoring?
One of the comments I hear most often is, "I don't think I need coaching."And often, people are right. If you're happy where you are, enjoying your work and your…
A big part of why I do all of this is because I genuinely care about making the nanny industry better for everyone.
Better connected. Better informed. More supportive. More professional. And a place where people feel they can actually ask questions, share what they’re experiencing and learn from one another.
That’s exactly why I run the Superyacht Nanny Community Calls. There’s no presentation and no masterclass agenda. It’s simply an hour for us to come together and talk properly about what’s happening in the industry.
We might discuss the current job market, challenges you’re navigating, industry expectations, training, career development, opportunities, rates, networking…. or something completely different that somebody brings to the call.
I’ll bring some topics, but the conversation is shaped by you.
And you absolutely do not need to be an established superyacht nanny to join. Whether you’re already working as an au pair, in UHNW households and travel childcare, or you’re trying to understand how to break into this world, you are welcome - as are agency owners etc!
I think industries improve when we close the knowledge loops, build genuine professional networks and help each other raise the standard.
This is one small way I can help create more of that.
