Infantcare Training Programme
At TMC, we believe that maids or caregivers should be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary in providing care for the baby. This would increase their confidence in looking after the baby and also serve to increase the confidence of the parents in entrusting the newborn to their care.

The program covers feeding baby, bathing baby, diaper changing, bowel movement of baby, handling and holding baby, management of crying baby and more. For more information, please call our Thomson ParentCraft at 6251 4090.

Confinement Nanny Service
All nannies trained at TMC undergo an extensive hands-on training programme conducted by our Thomson ParentCraft specialists. They are trained in areas such as understanding and handling a crying baby, diet and nutrition planning and the handling of common emergency situations.

Equally important is that the Thomson-trained nanny is modern and up-to-date as the training emphasizes clinically-proven care techniques dispelling common myths and beliefs formally held by many nannies.

For more information, please call our Thomson ParentCraft at 6251 4090.
