Nanny training & Maternity Nurse Training with Peek-a-boo in London

Peek-a-boo are a leading nanny and au-pair agency in London who help to match qualified and experienced nannies and au-pairs with suitable placements and families. With over 2,500 child carers on their database, Peek-a-boo can help UK and overseas families find the perfect nanny, au-pair, maternity nurse or mother’s help for their situation and their family.
As Peek-a-boo are the only learning nanny agency in London offering MNT courses and in house first aid training at their Maternity and Baby Academy, they can help child carers achieve qualifications which will enhance their CV and can help them successfully attain a child carer position. Peek-a-boo is now an accredited learning centre who grants their students with credits for each completed module, which will result in full accreditation when a child carer finishes the course.
Peek-a-boo’s unique nanny courses are also often subsidised by government funding or the student’s current employer, and in certain circumstances, a child carer could be offered a discounted course fee. The MNT course is split into four modules:

1. Breast/Bottle Feeding and Weaning
2. General Newborn Care
3. Routine in Newborns and
4. Sleep Training in Babies
Experienced former maternity nurses are the trainer on the MNT courses. In addition to help and advice on the course itself,  our trainers can also offer top tips for child carers on everything from maximising their CVs to securing the best possible positions after course completion.
“Being the only accredited learning centre in London offering in house first aid and MNT courses, our students can rest assured they will receive full accreditation should they finish all four of the courses offered. The diploma is also internationally recognised so can be used both in the UK and abroad, and we strive to place every child carer in a suitable position upon course completion. We will also provide a tailor made reference from our agency regarding every student’s abilities and character.” commented a spokesperson for Peek-a-boo.
“Our unique courses run throughout the year, with a few spaces still open on our upcoming modules in June and July 2011, so we urge anyone interested to contact us as soon as possible to ensure their place.”

A maternity nurse is a great help for a short (or long) period after you have had your baby and left the hospital. Not only are you very tired but also, despite all your love for your child, you may feel unsure of how to handle the problems of a new baby. The maternity nurse will give you the confidence to cope quickly and can give you a routine to follow to suit your family needs.

The main responsibilities of a private maternity nurse are to care for your baby and assist you in establishing a routine within the home environment. The duties of a maternity nurse also involve supervising and tidying the baby’s room and day-to-day laundry for the baby in addition to all areas of caring for your baby.

If you are planning to breast feed then the maternity nurse will support and encourage you with this. If you are going to bottle feed then the maternity nurse will be responsible for sterilising and making up the bottles for your baby.

A maternity nurse is on call for 24 hours a day either 5 or 6 days per week. She is entitled to at least 2-3 hours free time during the day to rest or take a walk. She however is on call should you need her assistance. Her time off per week consists of one full day and one full night; during this time the maternity nurse can ask to sleep alone or take time off outside the home.

Peek-a-boo Maternity division offers junior maternity nurses and trainee maternity nurses at discounted prices for those happy to use a recently qualified maternity nurse from our MBA (Maternity and Baby Academy)
