Five focused courses, taught by people who have spent decades in real South African households. For nannies stepping up, parents getting prepared, and families investing in the team that raises their kids.
Equip your nanny with the expertise and confidence to provide top-notch care for your little ones through our in-depth, holistic training program. Covering everything from safety and CPR to nutrition, milestones, and positive discipline.
A half-day course covering two modules - routines, time management and safety awareness, plus Super Nannies First Aid awareness programme. The CPR and Choking modules are in accordance with the American Heart Association and the Resuscitation Council of SA.
Play with intention. A hands-on workshop on age-appropriate activities, learning through play, screen-free creativity, and the magic of boredom.
The household side of the role done with skill — laundry, ironing, deep cleaning systems, food storage, and the small habits that lift a home.
The course every parent and nanny should do. Infant and child CPR, choking response, burns, bleeds, allergic reactions, and when to call for help.
Real households, real schedules, real safety realities. We don't teach a generic curriculum — we teach what actually happens between 6am and bedtime.
Groups are kept small enough that every learner gets time on the mat and in front of a manikin for CPR practice.
Every learner leaves with a full training manual, a certificate, and additional resources.

The Comprehensive Nanny Training Course runs over two full days over a two week period. During the course we cover all four modules by covering two modules each week.
We have a diverse group of nannies attending our workshops: Xhosa, Afrikaans, Malawian, Zimbabwean etc. so our courses are taught in English to accommodate the entire group. The nannies are usually second language English speakers and the workshop is designed to be taught practically in an interesting, fun manner so our nannies can understand what is being covered.
We recommend that you drop your nanny off on the first day so that we can meet you and you can see where we are doing the training. Our training venues are situated near public transport and are on the taxi route so nannies can make their own way.
We have nanny training venues in Johannesburg and Durban, with Cape Town coming soon. Please review our schedule for venue locations and dates for upcoming courses. We are looking at expanding into different areas once we find the right nanny trainers to join our nanny agency. Please email us if you are interested in setting up a nanny training program in your area.
Absolutely. Your nanny receives a certified Super Nanny certificate upon successful completion of the course. The Super Nannies first aid awareness programme certificate and then the CPR and choking component in accordance with the Resuscitation Council of South Africa and American Heart Association. This nanny training certificate is well recognised and will assist them with future job employment.
All our trainers have a facilitation or teaching qualification. Our CPR and choking instructors are registered with the Resuscitation Council of SA. All Super Nanny trainers have to have some type of teacher or training background.
Yes there is homework and a skills evaluation test. The classes are tailored so that the nannies have a chance to put into practice what they have learned that week and time to complete their homework. We are in contact via email with the employers on a weekly basis during the nanny training workshops so that they have a clear understanding of what content we have covered. The employer will be able to understand how their nanny is doing on the course when they review their homework and will be able to see what input is required by them.
Our CPR and choking content is in accordance with the American Heart Association and Resuscitation of SA. However it is not accredited. Super Nannies prefers to have this flexibility than the rigid outcome process of QCTO. QCTO works best for big educational institutes who have to work within a standard quality framework. Corporates can benefit from QCTO with the rebate incentive program by sending their employers on QCTO courses. Our market is not corporate companies but domestic nannies in a home environment so this module does not accommodate us. As a small company, Super Nannies can maintain our standard of training and quality of content regularly with the team of experts at hand. We review our nanny training manuals annually and all our trainers come either with a teaching or first aid instructor background.
