The professional nanny can be the biggest gift you can give your children.
Someone to help them grow, learn, and discover the world around them. The
impact a nanny can have on your child's life is phenomonal so it is understandable
that you would have many questions. The subject itself has several books
covering hiring a nanny from beginning to end. Our favorite choice is:
The International Nanny Association offers several definitions of childcare
providers that will help you determine which provider is right for you.
In an unregulated field, it is hard to determine which qualifications make a nanny a
professional. We believe that a nanny who views her job as a career, takes the
steps necessary to educate herself on the industry, and has experience working as
a nanny, make her qualified to be a professional nanny. However, taking the steps
necessary is the factor that many nannies are missing. Professional development
is an important component of being a nanny. In recent years, many agencies and
local support groups, colleges and tech schools, and specialized nanny programs
are being developed across the nation.
