Your training path

The Hey Shishu Certification Program

Our training is grounded in the 12 Quotients Model — the same holistic framework we use to nurture children's development. You'll learn how to care for a child's mind, body, emotions, and spirit, not just their schedule.

Stage 1 — Foundation (Mandatory)

Every certified nanny completes these core modules before their first booking.

Module 1: Child Safety & First Aid

Learn home-safety protocols, choking response, fever management, and when to call for medical help.

Module 2: Hygiene & Infection Control

Handwashing, diapering, feeding hygiene, and keeping a play space clean and safe.

Module 3: Infant & Toddler Care Essentials

Feeding schedules, sleep routines, bathing, soothing techniques, and age-appropriate milestones.

Module 4: Positive Communication & Discipline

How to set boundaries without shouting, manage tantrums, and speak to children with respect.

Module 5: Introduction to the 12 Quotients Model

Understand how IQ, EQ, SQ, CQ, PQ, MQ and the other quotients shape a child's growth — and your role in supporting each one.

Module 6: Ethics, Privacy & Professional Conduct

Confidentiality, boundaries in a family home, phone and social-media etiquette, and what Hey Shishu expects on every shift.

Stage 2 — Practical assessment

A supervised live evaluation covering a diaper change, a feeding session, a soothing exercise, and a safety drill. Conducted at a Hey Shishu training partner near you.

Stage 3 — Certification & profile go-live

Once you pass, you receive your Hey Shishu Certified Nanny badge, your profile goes live on our app, and you start receiving booking requests from verified parents in your area.

Stage 4 — Advanced specializations (optional, higher pay)

Stand out and earn more by adding:

icon
Newborn Care Specialist (0–6 months focus)
icon
Special Needs Care Certification
icon
Pediatric CPR & Emergency Response
icon
Play-Based Early Learning (aligned with the 12 Quotients)
icon
Nutrition & Meal Preparation for Kids

Training timeline: 2 to 4 weeks for foundation certification, depending on your pace.
All modules are free, and sessions are held online with periodic in-person practicals.
