This week I spoke with Candi Vajana, who has been a nanny since 1992. She has so many great insights, especially on how cooking with children teaches them so many wonderful things. You can also find her podcast, and news about her very own class she's developing at The Experienced Nanny!
Book recommendation: Julia Donaldson
Class recommendation: Open University and keep an eye out for her own class!

This week I spoke with Tamara L'Hote, who has 23 years of nanny experience! Like many other nannies, she suggests checking out community colleges for child development classes, but also to go to your local library. Sometimes they have cheap or even free classes. She's also a big crafter and she makes jewelry for her fellow nannies!
Class recommendations: CPR & First Aid, Transforming Challenging Behavior
Book recommendations: Dr. Seuss

Now that the holidays are over, I'm putting up new episodes of The Nanny Endorsements. I'm always looking for more nannies, newborn care specialists and other childcare professionals to interview, so if you're interested, please fill out the Interview Request! It's really simple, and it's audio only. You don't have to have any special equipment, just a Zoom account. Most people use a laptop, but some use their phones, you just need to have a decent internet connection! It only takes about a half hour.
I also have some big news on the way! Be sure to find me on Instagram (@tomboynanny) and contact me about the podcast, my crochet toys, or anything else!
