Overview
Welcome to CNA
A practical short course covering the essentials of safe, responsible childcare for babysitters and nannies — safety basics, age-appropriate activities, and emergency response.
Welcome to CNA
A one-week practical course covering exactly what a babysitter or nanny needs to handle an evening or a full day alone with a child — not general childcare theory, but the specific safety knowledge and judgment calls that come up: a minor injury, a child who won't settle, an unexpected visitor at the door.
Sessions are scenario-based, working through what to do in the moment rather than just what the rule says.
childproofing a space, supervision basics, and preventing the most common household accidents
keeping a child engaged and safe across different age groups, from toddlers to school-age
recognising when a minor injury needs simple care versus when to call a parent or emergency services
what to do, in order, if something goes wrong while a parent is unreachable
the questions to ask before a booking, and how to hand over clearly at the end of a shift
