ABC Baby Care Nanny Training
The course runs over a 5-week period and consists of 5 sessions of 5 ½ hours per session. The course starts at 8:45 and finishes at 14:30 on a Tuesday for 5 consecutive weeks. The course is presented in Zulu and English to create an optimal environment to understand, learn, and communicate. Sister Marlette had the privilege of growing up on a farm and is fluent in Zulu. This also assists in communicating possible differences in cultures and bridging potential barriers when looking after a baby.
A comprehensive training manual and ABC Nanny Diary are provided to the nanny upon the commencement of the course. The manual covers the entire content of the course and will enable them to refer back to it at any later stage. There is an optional Zulu manual if your nanny prefers to read it in Zulu. Your nanny will receive a certificate upon completion of the course.
