National Nanny Training Day

[Anonymous]

My lack of interest in the event has to do with

1. I do not believe the trainings offered to be thorough. The same information could be found off line for free. When I spend money related to my career I prefer it to go to an institution where I can earn degree credit.

2. I will not in anyway support Nanny Biz or companies, persons, and corporations that work with them . Homework solutions being one of them.

HomeWork Solutions is a national sponsor of National Nanny Training Day (and proudly so) and I assure you we SPEND money, not make money. The local NNTD organizers don't make money either - the nominal fees ~$25- 50 each cover the fee to use the venue (and local coordinators work hard to get free and reduced prices on these) as well as the cost of the food and beverages. Also many speakers donate their time but require an honorarium for their transportation costs. In NYC $40 got you hot coffee, a continental breakfast, and a box lunch with soft drink last year.

I was personally present there and the ADL's presentation on recognizing and responding to Cyberbullying alone was worth the price of admission.

Many nannies work in isolated environments, without peers or coworkers, and the opportunity to share challenges and lessons learned with other working nannies IMO is priceless. Learning, problem solving, tips and tricks are all part of NNTD.

I agree, that's why I was it was disapointing that the NNTD I attended last year had no time in the schedule to network or chat with other nannies. We even had a session during our lunch time.

My opinion is National Nanny Training Day is a good concept but poorly executed by Nanny Biz, very unoragnized and special treatment to some of the local event planners. From what I understand Nanny Biz has ponded off to someone else because of all the complaints of last year so very sad on the follow through.
