[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would want my nanny to have qualifications. I am always surprised at MB's who aren't bothered about it. I want my nanny to be educated on childhood milestones and behavior. I can't imagine ever hiring someone who has no childcare certification. No judgement but just my opinion.[/quote] I don't think anyone wants a nanny who is clueless about child development and education, but there are a lot of ways to gain that knowledge without formal education, and given that nannies often come into this field gradually by working with children in other settings, they may or not have relevant formal education. I think the gold standard is a nanny who a) understands how to work in a home setting, b) understands children's developmental and educational needs and c) has a sense of professionalism, but a degree isn't a guarantee of any of those things.[/quote]
