In any case prior to mediation you have participated in at least one of our practical course days. This is a required part of our Nanny Academy training.

Practical course days

Part of the basic training will be taught classically during four practical course days. Each morning our introduction workshop is scheduled. In the afternoon sessions several other workshops are planned.
During these course days, (guest) teachers are invited to share their knowledge and experience in their own field.
All workshops that are given during the practical days are not only accessible to the new G&C nannies who have yet to complete the practical part of the basic training. G&C nannies who have been working for G&C families for years are also very welcome. So you always meet colleagues. You become part of our G&C community.

Tischa Neve: Child and Adolescent Psychologist and Play Therapist

My company Groot & Klein originated from my dream to inspire and help parents and professionals to make parenting even more fun and easier. To grow children in their strength with a healthy self-confidence. As a child psychologist and educationalist, I have studied various visions, methodologies and ideas over the years and tested them in practice. Professionally and as a mother and foster mother.

I would like to share all the knowledge and experience I have gained with you in webinars , my coaching , (online) parenting courses , blogs and books . My way of working and coaching is solution-oriented, positive, accessible, with humor and above all very practical. I believe in parenting based on cooperation, connection and contact with children. I also believe that every parent has that in them, but raising children is often quite a challenge in addition to a party, so a little inspiration and thinking along can just be very nice and helpful.
