Frequently Asked Questions

How is NannyCON different to other industry conferences?

Unlike traditional conferences, NannyCON stands out from the crowd for many reasons.  We are a space for all domestic workers and early years professionals from every culture and background to come together over one weekend. For a first-timer, the biggest benefit is the energy and vibes. It’s not just sitting in a room taking notes or avoiding cliquey groups, it’s stress-relief movement, meaningful conversations, genuine connections, fun interactions and high quality CPD. It’s about filling your cup so you don’t burn out. If you want to be apart of a global movement and go home actually feeling refreshed (and with a CPD certificate!), then NannyCON is where you NEED to be every year.

Why we are different to other conferences
‍
Wellness is a Top Priority- Most conferences focus on how you can do more for your employers. We focus on elevating YOU. NannyCON is rooted in self-care and wellness because our careers are isolating and can be lonely—emotionally and physically. We want you to leave feeling poured into, not just "trained." So all our speaker presentations are CPD accrediated so you get a digital certificate of proof of your training to add to your portfolio.

The "Vibe" is different- We aren't about cliquey groups or corporate conversations. NannyCON is a community and feels like a home away from home. It’s about longevity, mental health, and finding a tribe that actually understands the unique life of working in a private home and with families in school and home settings. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and 98% of attendees come alone.
‍
Global perspectives- Because we bring in people from all over the world and all walks of life, the conversations at NannyCON have a depth and cultural richness that you won't find anywhere else. We have people flying in from the UK, USA, Asia, South America, Africa and Europe so the networking opportunities are endless, plus you learn a lot about different cultures and perspectives.  

One of a kind-We are the only and first ever childcare & wellness conference in the world so there is no one else doing what we do which makes the experience even more unique.

Not for profit- As well as being a not for profit all funds from ticket sales go right back into our CIC to help improve and continue future events. We are big on giving back; that is why 50% of our raffle proceeds goes to a different charity every year, so not only are you investing in you, you are investing in making the world a better place and supporting the less advantaged.

Family run- We are a family run conference so it's not surprising to see Shada's mum or family members working the stations and making sure everyone feels welcomes and included with our infamous warm caribbean hospitality. It gives NannyCON a more homely/ personal feel and is less daunting for newcomers or first timers.

Informal Approach-Due to our relaxed, informal approach we uniquely combine professional development with personal wellness so you will find NannyCON Souls are well regulated and not overstimulated. We recognize that you pour so much into others, so NannyCON is designed to fill your cup and remind you to take care of YOU.

Not just for Nannies-We aren't just for nannies; we’re the home of childcare and wellness for all educators working with children. ​

Affordable Prices-We have the most affordable conference prices in the industry, but our combined services are worth thousands of pounds, but due to being a non for profit we pride ourselves on keeping costs affordable for you, but keeping the value high.

At NannyCON we don’t like to compare ourselves with other conferences, because we are in a league of our own. We have attendees from all corners of the world and it feel so good to know we all have a common interest despite our differences. If you want a weekend that celebrates your humanity, prioritizes your mental health, and connects you with a diverse global family—London is calling! Whatever you choose, you’re investing in yourself, and that’s always a win. NannyCON will be every April so if you don't make it this year you are always welcome to attend the following year.
