The Best Money I Have Ever Invested in My Career!

Newborn Care Specialist, Seattle, WA

You can’t make a better choice in choosing to attend Tonya’ training. She is AMAZING at what she does and it shows immensely in her teaching skills! Personally, I have multiple years of experience in working with newborns and I'm only 22. I thought I knew all there was to know. My mother used to be an OBGYN and I grew up in a big family learning a lot along the way in working with Newborns. But, Tonya easily proved me wrong by all the wisdom she proved. I truly have never enjoyed such a feeling like this before.

There is so much information to learn in Newborn Care Solutions Training. After the first day of class I was so incredibly pumped to learn more, I didn't sleep for two nights - I was so excited and I LOVED it! Tonya covers every topic you could ever think of and she answers all your questions and is ‘to-the-point’ . It was the BEST money I had ever invested in my career! As someone who genuinely and passionately loves working with children, I feel I left that weekend of learning fully confident in my new-found knowledge that I can’t wait to start using. I strongly advise you to take her training!

We All Walked Away Learning So Much!

President, The Windsor Agency, Inc., Asheville / Charlotte, NC

As an agency owner, I found this class to be invaluable to myself and my nannies that attended. Tonya’s passion for newborn care is why she is sought after for teaching and mentoring. Tonya’s vast experience compliments the course and helps so many that have questions. Her class was very interactive, presented with confidence, and was enjoyed by all the attendees. I really enjoyed hearing everyone’s great feedback after the class was over. We all walked away learning so much. Her courses make my nannies and newborn care specialists more marketable and confident as they serve my clients.

Tonya is THE Go-To Expert on This Topic!

Nanny for Newborns, LLC, NCS and Infant Sleep Consultant

It is said that you learn something new every day. Even after caring for newborn babies for over 25 years, and even after more than 10 years of sleep training, and despite the fact that I have a thriving sleep consulting business, I still have things to learn.

There are a lot of people out there clamoring for ‘1st Place’ as someone who can teach other professionals about newborn care and sleep training. But, you need to look no further than … Tonya Sakowicz. She is THE Go-To Expert when you need to know anything about this subject. Her teaching style is thorough and clear and has ab excellent command of whatever group she is teaching to.

Tonya is great at answering any and all questions her students may have, but she manages to do it in a way that doesn’t distract from the subject at hand or get off track. She’s an extensive researcher and that keeps her abreast of current industry trends and her specific areas of knowledge are of infant reflux and children’s allergies.

There are a handful of training opportunities out there, but hands down Tonya is the most thorough, most updated, and best all around. She isn’t just going to teach her opinion or “her way” of doing things. She teaches evidence-based information. Whatever she charges is worth EVERY PENNY! The things you will learn in her course will make you knowledgeable and MAKE YOU MORE MONEY!

By Far the Most Comprehensive Training!

Owner of A Heart for Service, LLC, Seattle’s Newborn Care Specialists

If I had to chose one word to describe the Newborn Care Training offered by Newborn Care Solutions it would be in-depth. This is not NCS 101! Tonya’s advanced training was thought provoking, detailed and 100% applicable. In my 20 years as a career nanny, this is by far the most comprehensive and worthwhile training I have taken.

As an agency it is crucial to my Newborn Care Specialist placements to ensure quality caregivers! I know that anyone who has taken this training has come away with the knowledge to care for a newborn with confidence, skills and heart!

Before you choose

caregivers.

Do I need experience before Foundational?

Should I choose Foundational or Elevate?

Choose one. Elevate is the broader core curriculum, with 365-day access. Foundational is the established core course and the entry route into Advanced. Compare them side by side in the catalog.

Is training the same as certification?

No. Course completion and professional certification are separate steps. Each program page lists its own requirements, assessments and fees.

Is training available in Spanish?

Yes, for the two core programs. Foundational and Elevate each have a Spanish edition.
