You might also want to take a First Aid on Children course, either for yourself or for your new nanny or new babysitter.

There is a small health coaching company who offers a large variety of English first aid courses. They are called HEALTHY AND SAFE AWAY FROM HOME, you can find more information on their website, www.healthyandsafe.biz (they also offer the first aid course for the Swiss driving license).

They will also come to your own home as long as you can organise a group of at least six people. Otherwise, their courses are usually held in either Langnau am Albis, 15 min. from Zug or Zurich or in cooperation with the New Stork Times, an English parenting magazine here in Switzerland (www.thestork.ch)
