HOME NANNY TRAINING IN GENEVA: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE FOUNDER OF POP.PINS ACADEMY

Pop.Pins Academy Founder (Vaïluna Daligault):

BeeBoo is a specialized agency for recruiting early childhood professionals — including home nannies, maternity nurses, and babysitters in Geneva and Vaud. The Pop.Pins Academy is our training center for future childcare professionals, created to professionalize the field and highlight skills essential for children’s development.

Our mission is to train competent, caring, and autonomous nannies who can provide a safe and stimulating environment for children. What sets us apart:

• a holistic approach focused on the child,
• childhood experts as trainers,
• a personalized coaching to help each participant build a solid professional project.

The main innovation is the hybrid format:

• interactive e-learning modules,
• in-person days at Hermance.

We also added practical workshops: emotional management, non-violent communication, etc. For those who wish, personal coaching and professional follow-up are offered.

Two main objectives: flexibility (follow the training at your own pace, balancing personal and professional commitments) and pedagogical quality (interactive modules complemented by practical in-person sessions).

They will be able to:

• learn from home at their own pace,
• save time while accessing rich and updated content,
• attend in-person sessions to practice and connect with trainers and other participants.

This is a modern format, suitable for women in career transition or already working.

Participants acquire:

• the basics in safety, hygiene, and childcare,
• tools to support child development,
• daily routine management (meals, naps, play, conflicts),
• better communication with families.

The training also strengthens self-confidence and professional conduct.

Specifically, what topics are covered?

Example modules:

• Safety and first aid
• Child development and psycho-emotional growth
• Daily routines: sleep, meals, transitions
• Emotional management: crying, frustrations, anger
• Communication with parents
• Legal framework of the nanny profession

The home nanny training lasts 8 to 10 weeks and includes:

• 3 to 4 hours of e-learning modules per week,
• in-person training days in Hermance.

To obtain the Pop.Pins Academy certificate: complete all modules, attend mandatory in-person days, and pass the final assessment.

Participants can work as:

• home nanny (full-time or part-time),
• professional babysitter for occasional or regular assignments.

Through its network, BeeBoo facilitates access to families in Geneva and the canton of Vaud.

The Pop.Pins Academy is currently applying for EduQua certification. Even without official certification yet, the home nanny training was designed with experts and is already valued by local families.

Yes: feedback highlights increased self-confidence, improved professional conduct, and the ability to handle complex situations calmly.

If you love children, are patient and motivated, the home nanny profession is for you. The Pop.Pins Academy training guides you step by step, even without prior experience in early childhood care.

Our development goals include:

• obtaining EduQua certification,
• offering regular thematic workshops,
• creating a professional community to promote support and exchange,
• expanding the home nanny training to other regions in French-speaking Switzerland.
