Mission Statement
The Nanny Institute is a specialized career school that provides credentialed training programs to Nannies and Sitters to elevate the in-home child care profession.
A Professional Trade School Committed to Quality Child Care Training
The Nanny Institute’s nanny programs are accredited by NCFE CACHE and based on the US Nanny Association National Standards, early childhood development post-secondary curriculums, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessments, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the US Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). There are no laws requiring nanny standards in the United States which is why the Nanny Institute certifications are highly respected and valued as they demonstrate a commitment to quality childcare.
Child development is core to the curriculum with faculty members including child psychologists, pediatricians, nutritionists, teachers, lawyers, and professional nannies so the resulting curriculum is both comprehensive and practical.
The Nanny Institute collaborates with top Nanny and Domestic Placement Agencies across the United States to support graduates who are seeking employment. The Nanny Institute also invests in the Nanny community by publishing articles, hosting webinars and teaching workshops and classes at annual conferences.

We create value for Families. Certifications issued by the Nanny Institute ease the hiring process for families and agencies. A Child Care Certification makes the interview process simpler since the potential employer knows the graduate has specific training, competencies, and child care knowledge. The Nanny Institute also helps families understand salary expectations for the different levels of childcare by defining the career path and levels of qualifications in the Ultimate Guide on How to Hire a Nanny.

I am a nerd and love to teach and write about special education. I teach techniques to support ADHD and share how bacterial infections such as Lymes Disease can impact Autism.
Aspects of childcare and employement law are unclear, but some are confusing or misunderstood. With the Children and the Law class, nannies gain a better understanding of the legal aspects with a childcare career.
