Question for nannies

[Anonymous]

Hi!Wondering where I can get an online certificate of early child development.
Some sort of 90 hours classes that I can add to my nanny resume in the near future.
I thought it would be nice to have it without having to go to college.
Thanks!

I don’t understand. You can only take child development classes in a college and then you have a transcript or degree.

And you can easily find online college classes at a community college.

CDA (no college courses required and it’s self paced) you would have to ask parents if they would be comfortable with you be observed in their home by the specialist (if they’ve resumed observations since COVID)

Maryland Childcare Course have a bunch of certifications that’s also approved by MSDE.

You can do newborn care specialist online. You must be talking about a CDA you can do training hrs online but that’s towards the degree

Look on the INA website. Any classes on there will be reputable.

Unfortunately, with the nanny industry being largely unregulated, there's a LOT of scammers offering uncredited classes for a lot of money.

Look into CPR and 32-hour medication certificates and similar.

I really think you should go for your AA degree from community college on line, OP. You can command so much more money with a degree.
