NannyCON is for anyone working with children, but we are especially aimed at Nannies, Mannies, Au Pairs, Childminders and Nursery Practitioners. We also welcome Nursery Staff, Teachers, Early Years Practitioners & Educators, and anyone working with children older and younger children.
We are the only Childcare & Wellness Conference in the world that offers you self-care workshops and Childcare topic presentations together in one place as well the 1st and only to offer a Creche for attendees that are parents. We focus heavily on combining Wellness and Childcare which we believe go hand in hand and would not want anyone to miss out on such a great experience. As a Caregiver we give so much to the children and families we work with and often put our needs last. That’s why NannyCON is here to remind you to take care of self-first. Oh, and did we forget to mention the energy and vibes? NannyCON has a vibe like no other and yes there are other amazing conferences,but there is none that has the love, warmth and togetherness feeling that NannyCON provides. It is an experience and cultural movement that you have to experience firsthand to fully understand. Have you ever been to a Conference and it felt very clicky or that you felt like you didn’t belong? Well then NannyCON is definitely for YOU. NannyCON is asupportive, positive, family orientated, diverse, fun and inclusive atmosphere and we make sure everyone is treated fairly and feels welcomed. We have a zero tolerance to bullying, racism, ageism, discrimination, prejudice or any behaviour we deem unprofessional. We are dedicated to providing caregivers with a safe space where they feel comfortable to be themselves. Great long-lasting friends and connections are made at NannyCON and we have seen many great opportunities open for people that met at NannyCON and later went on to collaborate. Experiencing NannyCON is like nothing you have ever experienced at a Conference, and we can guarantee once you attend you will keep on coming back every year. We want you to include it in your annual Conference budget as a permanent staple. The feeling of NannyCON is very much like home cooked warm soup on a cold winter’s day. You can’t get enough of it even if you tried.
Yes, we introduced this option for 2024 and are trialling it out to see the response. We believe you would really benefit from the FULL NannyCON experience which includes both days, but we also understand that people have busy lives and may not be able to commit to both days. Prices are a lot cheaper if you attend both days so we think that would be the better option. All tickets must be purchased in advance online via our direct website https://www.nannycon.net.

No, NannyCON is still a high-quality conference in its own unique league. We are big on quality over quantity and prefer to keep numbers low so we can continue to provide the same quality of care. We want to offer affordable high-quality training and accessible wellness workshops where it does not break the bank. We utilise the gift of volunteers and hire a small admin team of 4 to help organise the conference. In 2023 the founder Shada and her administrator Casey did all the work themselves whilst working full time as Nannies so this year we had to increase the team to help spread the workload fairly. We also try our best to get sponsorship to help with the running costs, but we remain the conference with the lowest costs and most value amongst the conferences that are currently in our industry. We try to keep fees the same each year, but unfortunately due to the growing rate of inflation this may not always be possible
