Can anyone please answer this or is it too confusing?


Most parents don't know the difference between a nanny, night nanny and NCS. There was a parent advertising for a night nanny a while ago... for a 2 year old. They actually wanted a nanny who would work overnights. There was a parent advertising for an NCS... they really wanted a night nanny for a 4 month old. One is a variation of the other, so yes, they are all part of the INA.

Are housekeepers part of INA?


If the housekeeper is also a nanny, yes. If not, no.




There is a good chance that INA will let anyone in that will pay to join

How insane to have non-nannies controlling a "Nanny" Association.

That explains why INA has become such a hot mess.

Ms Gibson is NOT a nanny?

INA is the International Nanny ASSOCIATION.

You do realize that the current president of INA is NOT an agency, but an Newborn Care Specialist and the incoming president is a former nanny, former nanny of the year and has her own company that provides training and coaching to nannies.

For those that say agencies have taken over the INA board - do your homework.

The INA board has created the INA NANNY Basic Skills Assessment and the INA NANNY Credential Exam.

They offer a mentoring program FOR NANNIES.

They are the only organization to have a NANNY OF THE YEAR. They don't offer an agency of the year.

Geesh - before you go slamming an organization that has been around for 31 years, again, do your homework.

Have to agree on this one, Nanny agencies are a business, plain and simple it is about making money and nannies are the product they sale. I am sure their are some good agencies but at the end of the day it is about sales not matter how much they say they are there for their nannies. INA is helping the agencies further prosper, the president of INA is an agency owner.

I just hope the nanny agency owners don't grab control of it, the way they did to the INA. Keep them OFF the board.


Nope sorry must all of DEMA is agency infused and about making money, is a business and not a non-profit

I agree. There should be a formal, official position against it and that needs to happen quickly.
