[quote=Anonymous]I work consistently as a night nanny/NCS in DC andNova. My NK's were school age, and I knew I wanted to get baby experience. I started with the Newborn CareTraining academy class , but didn't care for it. It's very basic and the instructors are hard to take. One was super boring and talks in a monotone. the other one is hard to follow because she skips around a lot. Her voice is highly irritating, too, and it's 2 days long! Theres whole private group on FB of nannies and some others took that class and hated it. It's pretty funny!

I did another training through Newborn Care solutions that was way better. The information is more thorough and teaches you how to be an ncs and not so much how to change a diaper. The instruction I did was online and the teacher was way more interesting then ones from the in person one I did first!  Plus, you can stop and start at your own pace.

My NF helped me get my first few newborn jobs from their friends.  I have been able to work pretty consistently for a while now. Most jobs pay $30/hr for one baby and more for twins. There are agencies,too to get you the night nanny jobs when you're starting out. Most of them want to undercut you and only pay you $18 but still they billing the families for $30!! So once you get a few jobs if you can it's better to be on your own. [/quote]
