[quote=Anonymous]Are you interested in an INA Accredited Certification Program?

Over the last ten years, many caregivers and training programs have shared concerns that there is no accredited Nanny or NCS Certification in the United States. Professionals all over the country (and beyond) have asked why the INA hasn’t developed a program for certification. After all, we are the umbrella association and strive to lead the way for the nanny and newborn care industry. We share your concerns and want to be able to provide a legitimate, respected, and accredited certification program. The executive board has been hard at work researching the right way to go about this. We want to share the process with you and get your feedback about what is important to our membership, as well as the in-home childcare community at large.
 
Having a program accredited will take a tremendous amount of volunteer time and energy, and it is a huge financial investment. It can cost between $70,000 to $200,000 to create just one or two certification programs, and do so correctly. We understand there is a need and desire to see this happen, and as a longtime leader in the in-home childcare industry, we believe we are in a unique position to develop it. In order to consider a project of this magnitude, we need to understand how many people would invest in this program and what expectations they have.
 
Nannies, NCS, and other care providers, please help the industry and take a few minutes to complete this survey and distribute it to everyone you know. Encourage your colleagues by letting them know the feedback we receive from this survey will directly impact the decisions the INA Board of Directors makes about an Accredited Certification Program in the future.
 
Placement agencies, please take a moment to share the Family Survey with your clients.  It is vital that we understand how important a program like this would be to parents.  Please also share the Caregiver Survey with the nannies and newborn care professionals in your database. You can include the information in this letter to better explain our position. We need this information to move forward.
 
Thank you for your help. If you would like to understand more about the differences between a certification program (accredited and non) and a certificate program, or how INA plans to become accredited, please check out our blog post on the subject.
Survey submissions deadline is Sunday, March 20th.
