This week we will be featuring some of our favorite posts of 2010. I, Greta, was honored to join the Regarding Nannies development team in July of this year. One of my passions in the nanny world is to share basic information and resources with nannies that have not yet found what was out there for them. I am from a city that has not had an established or seasoned nanny community. That is probably how the Nanny 101 posts came about. I figured that there are new nannies all across the country and world that are starting out and would benefit from ‘the basics’. I had fun designing the ‘lessons’ and even the ‘homework’. So, today I share with you our first Nanny 101.

Nanny 101 will bring basic information as a help to new nannies and a refresher for seasoned nannies.

Links are shared for more personal research and homework assignments are available for the nannies that really feel they can benefit from making changes! So… let’s all take a seat, please listen carefully. There may be a pop quiz!

It is essential for a nanny to regularly focus on effective communication in their position. Here are some brief lessons to review. To finish this article click here… Nanny 101 – Communication
