Gone are the days when “nanny” simply meant a babysitter. Today, professional nannies are trained childcare experts—supporting a child’s growth, development, and wellbeing through some of the most formative years. At ICT Academy, we’re proud to offer an Infant Toddler Certification Nanny Course designed specifically for nannies who care for children between 6 months and 3 years old—an age range that comes with rapid changes, big milestones, and real responsibility.
Whether you're a caregiver looking to boost your skills or a parent wanting the very best for your little one, here’s why this nanny training and certification course is a game-changer.
Why Infant-Toddler Training Matters
The first three years of life are critical. Babies go from crawling to walking, babbling to speaking, and eating purées to feeding themselves. Every day presents new challenges—and incredible opportunities to support their development.
Our Infant Toddler Certification equips nannies with the skills to confidently support:
Feeding routines and toddler nutrition
Sleep training and nap schedules
Cognitive and physical developmental milestones
Age-appropriate play and early learning
Toddler communication and language growth
Positive discipline and managing tantrums
Child CPR, health, and safety fundamentals
It's not just training—it's preparation for one of the most important jobs in a child’s life.
For Nannies: Stand Out in a Competitive Industry
Families today are looking for more than a sitter—they want a partner in their child’s care. A nanny with professional training doesn’t just get hired faster—they get paid more, stay longer in roles, and feel more confident every step of the way.
Our online nanny certification course is designed to fit your schedule and deepen your expertise, whether you’re new to the field or already experienced. You’ll earn a recognized certificate from a trusted leader in nanny and newborn care training—ICT Academy.
For Families: Why Hiring a Certified Nanny Makes a Difference
Would you hire an untrained teacher for your preschooler? Probably not. Yet many families hire nannies without realizing the power of professional training.
A certified nanny understands more than just how to keep your child safe—they know how to encourage learning through play, respond calmly during tantrums, and support emotional regulation, routines, and transitions. They become your partner in raising confident, happy toddlers.

Final Thoughts: The Profession of Nannying Is Evolving
