You finished the training.
Now comes the hard part.
You know how to care for a newborn. What you may not know yet is how to turn that into a career. Is NCS work really the right field for you? What does the role ask of you day to day? What should you consider before you book your first job?
Without clear answers, it is easy to stall. Many career nannies feel unsure how to make the jump into NCS work. Others start with expectations that do not match the reality of the role, and the first months are harder than they need to be.
The NCS Advantage Program walks you through these questions over three months, with monthly modules and two private consultations with an experienced NCS. You move forward with a clear picture of the role and a realistic plan for the start of your career.
What changes for you
After the course,
you can:
Understand the role and mindset
Know what the role of the NCS involves, the mindset it takes and the common misconceptions to leave behind.
Prepare before you book
Work through what to consider before you accept a job, so your first bookings start on solid ground.
Work well with clients
Approach working with clients on the job, and with other people in the home, with clear expectations.
Protect your work-life balance
Plan for the demands of NCS work so the career you build is one you can sustain.

The learning.
In their words.
Great course for the new NCS! I highly recommend the NCS Advantage Program to all new NCSs and anyone needing help navigating the NCS world.
