I am a graduate of the 2008 English Nanny & Governess Class. Being a part of this school was a great learning experience. I have been in childcare for over 11+ years. The techniques and class room text opened up a whole new world for me. The school gave me a sense of accomplishment and professional focus in my career. In the past 4 years I have used the knowledge given me, to counsel other nannies and families. My goal as a professional, is to find the perfect family as well as provide a calm, informative and pleasant environment for families seeking great childcare. I worked with agencies and other "nanny" businesses before ENGS. The lack of communication, respect for nanny/family and education was ridiculous. While some agencies are not horrible or untrustworthy, the majority always seem to lack one or two very important ideals. Some, are all for the nanny while leaving the families high and dry; others are all for the families and could care less about the safety of the nanny. Despite some of the horrible experiences I have had with families, I still believe the majority of them truly do seek a loving nanny and work to provide a positive and supportive environment for them. One of the great things about the school is that they interview each nanny extensively. On the flip side, the same is done with the families. Contracts written up, protect both sides of the party. ENGS seeks to give each client/nanny a strong, safe and great experience when in the hiring process. I am every grateful for the help and direction the school gave me. It has changed my outlook for the better. I am a hardworking, focused and loving nanny who was looking for a school that would see that and provide the best education and families for me. ENGS has always been there for me, even when I was in between families. I will always recommend the school to any nanny who I feel is seeking childcare as a serious career. It is the only place I feel can give an individual a top education. Thanks for everything ENGS...your former student Katherine

Having attended the English Nanny and Governess School, I feel as though it is a wonderful program for those looking for a career in childcare or for parents looking for a caregiver. The curriculum was thorough and informative, the professors knowledgeable, and the staff supportive. The best part was the hands on experience every Friday with our practicum families. Being able to use what we were learning on a weekly basis helped me retain what was taught in the classroom. I use what the school taught me on a daily basis with my charges. I was also impressed with the help we received formatting our resumes and with our interview skills. I believe the school helped me to become the best governess I can be, and I am so thankful to have attended. To prospective clients, I can tell you that the school does take care in admitting its students. We have to go through numerous background checks and evaluations. Each of the girls I met through the program are truly wonderful individuals who are amazing with children. I am sure this is true with all of their classes.

Its a rip off for both parties, first some of the ladies are much to young, they should not be right out of high school, should have at least a 2 year college, my daughter had a degree so she was classified as a governess, it is a huge money maker, for themsleves whom have never been nannies in their life time but who has had them. They place the girls, they dont contact them again to see how the family fits, how they like it, etc. they should do follow ups for both parties they dont!!! All they are interested in is the next class, and the next class after that.!!!!! An if you call them they pass the buck, oh someone will call you back, but its funny know one ever does !!! The owner and her son should sell it!!!!

I have very much enjoyed my time and English Nanny and Governess School. All of the classes are taught by professionals in whatever subject they teach. Social workers, registered nurses, and even doctors have taught our classes. The facilities are a bit dated, however, the staff has been quick with any maintenance requests. The placement program has some very exciting and great opportunities for future nanny jobs. All in all I am very glad I decided to attend this school and become a Certified Professional Nanny.

I have been very happy with the program at ENGS. I learned many things about what to expect in my position and how to handle all aspects of my career. I felt very prepared to start working in my field. I also have had an excellent follow up experience with Mr. Gaylord who has been fantastic about answering my questions. I have had support from the school from day one and can highly recommend using their services.

This school is a huge money maker. It is obvious this is all they care about. As a mother who has used this school, they provide very unprofessional nannies. My nanny from this school actually text me that she was "Still not up to it" one day as her way of calling in sick to work. Never in my life have I felt so ripped of by an institution.

I am in class #120, and this is one a the beat classes ever. The classes are real informative, the staff is very caring and always there for us. The families that they pair us up with for practicum are amazing and teach us a lot. The office staff always help us out with anything.

Terrible. The interview coordinator Andrea was terribly childish. When a scheduling dispute arose, she actually hung up on me three time in a row. Unbelievably rude and unprofessional. Do not use this service. Total waste of time.
