[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I interviewed a LOT of nannies, at a wide range of pay requests, and never encountered any with the "special training" people allude to on here. I am curious what this special training is. I have heard of nanny training centers in Britain but not here. A few short courses here and there doesn't seem like special training to me.

Anyway, for the OP, we found a nanny we are very happy with who charges $15/hour for one family and $20/hour for two. I was not more impressed with nannies who requested more (some of them much more!), and this was after paid trial periods. I found that nannies charging less than $15/hour were generally at a lower skill level, but that is not meant as an insult to anyone making less as I am sure there is variation across areas.

English is not my first language, so yes, my English is a little bit rusty and don't like to prove read. But thanks because I would try to reread what I write to better my writing.

However, I speak 3 languages: French, Spanish and English. How about You? can we communicate in my native language?

By that way I start to learn English when I was 23 years old and still do, where studies have shown that I, always would be having some deficiency on a new language that I learn. So, your comment about my English is irrelevant. Instead is a distraction of the main point that Good Nannies Need to be experience and skilful to nurture children growth.

I agree that mothers raise their children without training  or qualification but mothers become researchers and learn what they don't now on how to help their children grow. I'm a mother who often attend workshop and others sources on how to be a better parents and help my children to do their best. As we become more experience, our children strive better.

I’m THE OP,
I don’t agree that caregivers don’t need “specialized skills, experience and qualification to nurture, guide and promote healthy grow to little people whom are inexperience individuals. They need guidance and support to help them strive for a higher levels of development.
But according to what you wrote, a caregiver just need to be a person that don’t have training or experience to nurture any developmental skills to a child, then why is pet trainer need to have special skills and training about different breed? Also why is Zoo keeper need to be train to care for wile animals, bees keeper do the same and even gardener need special train and skills on trees and flowers.
Our children need the same an experience care giver that know how to nurture healthy grow, attentive to children needs, fallow parents subjections, keep children save, fallow a stablish routines.
Not investing in higher quality child care for a child could result in a downfall not only for parents that may need to pay+$ to an occupational therapist for help a child to develop physical and cognitively but also for the child who can fall behind developmentally. 
PS: Children with special needs attend section of therapies such as speech, occupational therapy, behaviors therapy and so far. However, their caregiver should be experience and nurture to help them strive.

Leaving aside the issue of absolutely atrocious English skills you displayed in your post....this is where you are mistaken.

Mothers have been raising children, without special training and skills, for milennia.  Somehow, the sum total of knowledge and experience one needed to raise healthy children was passed around without mandatory education requirements.

Your comparison with the pet trainer is unwarranted because nannies aren't trying to teach the child anything that's unnatural to them. I also don't think you're getting very far with your zoo keeper comparison - what is it that they do beyond cleaning cages? again, keeping wild animals in the zoo is unnatural - unlike raising human children.
