A continuation from my last nanny post in other Facebook nanny groups because honestly… I did not expect that many messages and comments asking for “HELP”. 😬
First, thank you. I read so many stories from caregivers feeling burned out, underpaid, undervalued, or simply stuck professionally. And as someone who has been a nanny in NYC for 25 years and now manages a New York State licensed nanny agency, I truly understand those feelings.
One thing I’ve learned in this industry:
Specialized skills + confidence matter.
Almost 12 years ago, I started learning about Baby-Led Weaning with just books, research, observations, and the support of the families I worked with. Over time, it became one of my specialties because I saw how capable children really are when we respect their pace and create a positive relationship around food.
I also realized many amazing caregivers stay stuck because nobody really teaches us how to grow professionally in childcare.
That’s one of the reasons I now offer:
• Nanny career coaching
• Baby-Led Weaning workshops
• caregiver support/resources
And yes — coaching is a paid service because I truly value both your time and mine. Just like many of you invest in trainings, certifications, or education, I’ve also invested in mentors, coaching, business guidance, and years of experience to get here. If you’re serious about growing in this field, specializing, negotiating better, or positioning yourself more confidently, I’m happy to help guide you.
Also — if you’ve been looking for a childcare niche or wanting to expand your skills, we have a few spots left for our upcoming hands-on Baby-Led Weaning Hybrid Event in Tribeca NYC on Saturday, June 6.
