The Australian Nanny Association (ANA) is a non-profit professional association and the national peak body representing the Australian nanny community. ANA is holding Australia's first Nanny Convention and third Annual General Meeting.

The ANA believes it is important to work together and include the whole nanny community (nannies, agencies, families and related businesses). All of these groups are affected by current and future events involving the nanny sector. This encourages best practice and quality care amongst all groups.

Non members are welcome to attend.

The ANA Nanny Convention will include a welcome evening dinner on Friday 27th of November 2015 and a full day event filled with fantastic speakers, professional development, socialising and lots of fun.

This year we are returning to Melbourne: the fantastic city of trams, the Yarra River and three seasons of weather in one day. Not to mention the amazing restaurants, cafes and culture!

There will be exciting speakers, group participation, networking, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and some cutting edge and fun professional development.

For those that want to continue on into the evening, on the Saturday there is a V.I.P event after dark.

• Jo Ryan - Baby Bliss (Sleep and newborn care)
