Attachment Theory For Nannies
Attachment Theory is the primary theory for how infants and toddlers develop during the first three years of life. In this self-paced online course, you will have an opportunity to learn how babies form their first relationships and how the quality of these relationships has a profound impact on the rest of their life. We will cover the types of attachment and how attachment patterns are recorded in the brain. You will also learn hands-on skills for fostering a secure attachment with babies you care for and how to speak to parents about a child's attachment needs.

Nannies who have taken the course say...
"While I have previously learned about attachment theory in psychology classes, Christina Vlinder's "Attachment Theory for Nannies" course is a valuable source for new information on attachment from the perspective of a child care provider. Furthermore, the course demonstrates concrete ways that I can apply the research on attachment theory in my professional behavior and offers suggestions for other resources that may benefit nannies like myself."
"It was great. I'm a postpartum doula and it helped me understand attachment theories."
"I love how Christina presents the materials and how her own experience is weaved into it."
"Christina is wonderful. Her approach to teaching comes from a caring and helpful place."
"If every nanny (even those with experience) could take this course, we would be one giant step closer to creating a world in which future generations have a greater sense of emotional and mental well-being. The self-paced aspect, engaging presentation, and certification at this price point were exactly what I needed to reengage my passion and inspire me to pursue more RIE-based education through Christina's other courses!"
