Join us for Part 2 of our Adventure Nannies Summit Session, Cultivated Care: The Evolution of Childcare Operations in Private Homes, as we continue the conversation with Dr. Virginia Schwager. In this follow-up session, we move beyond foundational insights and dive deeper into the systems, relationships, and leadership practices that sustain long-term success in private household childcare. Dr. Schwager will expand on how emotional labor, clarity of roles, and intentional operational design directly impact caregiver longevity, family satisfaction, and household harmony. This session is designed for both families and professional nannies who want to strengthen what’s already working—while addressing the hidden challenges that can lead to burnout, misalignment, or turnover, even in well-resourced homes. Together, we’ll explore how to create resilient structures, support healthy advocacy, and cultivate environments where caregivers feel trusted, empowered, and equipped to thrive across evolving household needs. ✨ Join us for Part 2 as we continue building a shared language for sustainable, respectful, and future-forward childcare in private homes.
