Our number one job as nannies is to keep kids safe. This week Elizabeth Henschen, a pediatrician hospitalist and mom, joins us to talk about gun safety. We discuss ways to start the conversation and how to talk to kids about gun violence. Simply asking about guns in a house before a play date can make a big difference in the safety of your nanny kids' lives. For more resources, click the links below.

Kids often need to move to think and yet, in school and sometimes at home, we ask them to sit still to learn or problem solve. Scott Ertl invented BouncyBands to help kids move while seated! We talk about why movement is so important and how to help work some extra movement into your kiddos' days!

Thanks for listening!

Have you ever thought about getting your degree in nannying? Colleges and Universities don't offer a degree specifically geared towards nannying which left a need and the Amslee Institute is here to fill it! Amslee Institute is the only online training program in the US with a college-level curriculum specifically designed for Nannies and Sitters that is licensed by the Department of Education. I got to talk to the founder of the Amslee Institute, Elizabeth Malson and ask her all about what makes Amslee so different. I highly suggest visiting their website and seeing if the Amslee Institute is right for you!
