Teach your nanny to cook & clean

Teach your nanny to cook & clean A 4 week cooking class for nannies. Your nanny will attend a 2 hour class once a week in Bergvliet, she will be taught to cook a quick nutritious meal.

History:

Teach your nanny to cook was founded by Michelle Battista mother of 3 very busy hungry boys! Being a working mother i found it very difficult to drive home from the CBD every evening in peak hour traffic, then get home and try to throw together a good healthy meal for my boys, do homework and prepare all of us for the next day. I would sometimes only be able to have a seat at 9 in the evening. My solution was to teach my nanny to cook a few basic meals she could do for them from Monday - Thursday. I was happy to come cook something light and fun on a Friday. Chatting to a few friends (mothers) about how they struggle with the same thing, i offered them my solution. I said, just teach your nanny to cook. The most common answer was......"i don't have the time" " you love cooking so much why don't you teach my nanny to cook" and the rest is history. (-:

My mission:

To make the lives of mothers easier. Mothers today get home so late from work and are not able to cook the nutritious meals for the kids that they would like to. The meals we grew up with. I will teach your nanny to cook. Teach your nanny to cook is a 4 week cooking course designed for nannies. Your nanny will learn to cook 6 nutritious meals in 4 weeks. The lessons are based in Bergvliet at my home in my kitchen and are 2.5 hours long. We incorporate vegetables in each meal. We try to keep salt usage at a very low and we also try to use natural flavoring such as garlic, ginger,cinnamon, bay leaves, sweet basil, thyme and various others. Most of which are grown in my organic garden. I try to stay away from the salt filled bbq and chicken spices. I love using paprika, cumin, coriander,turmeric. It's a kid friendly menu. The dishes i cook for my 3 boys and they love it. One of the course menus:

1. Mac & Cheese with Butternut
2. Creamy Chicken & Broccoli stew
3. Carrot, pea and meat stew
4. Roast chicken drumsticks with chips and salad
5. Mushroom & Baby marrow Penne pasta
6. Spag Bols or Mud and worms as we call it in my house. The nannies will come to my home once a week, i will teach them to cook these meals and my nanny Sharon will be by my side to translate where the nannies do not understand. I will teach them about cleanliness in the kitchen. How to use different boards for different ingredients such as Veg/Meat. I will teach them to hide the veg from fussy eaters. After the class, they will then go home menu in hand with step by step instructions and practice the meal that i have taught them. The nannies will have my cell number and can contact me any time if they get stuck. For course dates and pricing please contact me. Michelle Battista
