[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad you are happy, PP, but if you are paid under the table, you are breaking the law and not at all a professional.

I'm an MB and think licensing would be great and would protect both families and nannies from exploitative situations. I would definitely expect and gladly pay a higher rate for a licensed nanny. I would also like to see certain professional development requirements (along with opportunities) to maintain a license. I envision it as something similar to teaching licenses, and could even be categorical. So a nanny who wanted to be a specialist in infants could pursue an infant license.

Would nannies want categorical licenses, or would a generalist license be more attractive?[/quote]

OP here, and this is exactly what I'm thinking. I think in the nanny industry, a general license, with maybe the opportunity to get specific certifications would be great. Its not like teaching, where your students move on each year. A nanny should be prepared to grow with her charge and have a larger knowledge base than will serve you through a charge's infancy.
