[quote=Anonymous]I think CPR/First Aid training and certification is important and now that summer is approaching perhaps some swimming certifications as well.

Baby sign language is good if working with infants, but pretty much being a good nanny is all about experience, personality and chemistry.

I don't see how learning about a child's development from a textbook would make a good nanny. I would much prefer to hire someone who actually experienced these stages first-hand themselves such as a parent who has already raised their own children successfully.

Also, they must have a good personality. Meaning someone who is upbeat, has a great sense of humor, loves to laugh and has great positive energy to boot.

One can have a Ph.D. in Child Development and have all the certifications on the planet, but if they have no patience and cannot laugh at life in general, then they are not the type of nanny for my child.

Personality and chemistry are much more important than some degree from some hoity toity British Nanny School.[/quote]
