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!"
