[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here -- just found out some of the costs of the Online Childcare Education Institute certificate programs. They run $99 for a 10 hour online course. I am wondering how important certificates and continuing education are to parents.

I normally wouldn't blink an eye at a $99 fee but I just moved to a different state a week and a half ago and am in between positions.

Parents, how important do you think continuing education is for nannies? When interviewing a nanny if she had certifications how much would that increase her worth versus other candidates with no certifications?

I think that I might plan on taking some of the $99 courses but wait until I am working first so that I have the extra money to throw around.

MB here. Honestly, the only certifications I'm interested in are in First Aid and CPR. Other certifications would only be important if there was some innovation in the field that would require continuing education. Otherwise, experience, enthusiasm, and good references are as important to me as any certifications.

Hope that helps.[/quote]
