What distinguishes a Norland Nanny from a traditional nanny?

Visibly, Norland Nannies are easy to spot by their smart uniforms, which are worn at all times during schooling and training, and by request when working with families after graduation. In terms of responsibilities in the home, their on-duty tasks are typically the same as or quite similar to a traditional nanny – the value added comes from their additional skills and knowledge gained during their years at Norland. They have been trained to be flexible, imaginative, and resourceful; a Norland Nanny can put together a child’s birthday party at the last minute or come up with a creative game to distract a child during an unexpected wait at the airport. They are great at thinking on their feet and handling any situation with professionalism. Norland Nannies mix an academic understanding of children with real-world practice and thus ensure children are meeting age and stage appropriate developmental goals.

Norland nannies are trained to adhere to a strict code of professionalism and care; the code highlights safety, respect, privacy, honesty, and clear communication.

Just like traditional nannies, Norland Nannies work a variety of schedules, including live-in and live-out nanny roles, ROTA positions, travel work, and more. If you would like to learn more about other types of nannies, visit this page.
