Step 1
Who is learning
We talk about who cares for the baby and what each person wants to practise.
Parent & Caregiver Training
Training for Parents and Caregivers
Good training means everyone in the house cares for the baby in a way that fits together, and feels sure of themselves when the moment comes. The content adapts to whether you are a parent, a relative or a hired helper, and nobody is being tested.
Where to find it
Training for new parents at home is in the Private Class & Nurture Plan, a 1-day private class at your home before the birth, for your family only.
What this service helps with
Training for parents, grandparents and helpers so everyone cares for your newborn the same way: holding, bathing, feeding and the signs to see a doctor.
Who it is for
- First-time parents who want to practise the skills before or after the birth
- Grandparents helping to care for a newborn again after many years
- Helpers who want to understand the family's routine and what is expected
What this service helps you sort out
- Each caregiver holds, feeds or settles the baby a different way
- Knowing the theory but still not feeling sure when it is time to do it
- Not knowing which signs are common and which mean a trip to hospital
What it usually covers
- Core skills such as holding, supporting the neck, nappy changes and bathing
- Feeding guidance, winding, and how to tell whether the baby is getting enough
- Setting up the sleep space and a routine that suits your baby's age
- How caregivers communicate and share the work between them
The actual scope is shaped around each family's situation and is agreed with the team before care begins.

Frequently asked questions
Can grandparents or a helper learn alongside the parents?
Yes. The content is designed for caregivers in several roles, so everyone understands the care and where each person's responsibility sits.
Is this a pass-or-fail assessment?
No. The point is to find what still needs practice and to agree one shared approach, not to label any caregiver as good or bad.
Is it at home or as a workshop?
Both. Workshops are group classes online or at a venue, and you can register interest on the Workshop page. At home, there is the Private Class & Nurture Plan, a 1-day private class at your home before the birth, and the Training for Grandparents and Helpers add-on, chosen together with a package. Dates, times and fees are confirmed with the team every time.
Not sure which service to start with?
Message the team on LINE with roughly what you need, and they will call you back to help choose the package that fits your family. Nothing is booked yet, and the team confirms the scope and the start date with you before any visit.
