Staying Educated

I find it easy to get into the routine of things around the house with the family I nanny for, as for other you may or may not. Attending conferences, workshops and trainings will be best for your interest. Getting certificates, fir aid, CPR, and nutrition.

As a nannying you effect the child so you are the role model what the children see if what they do. Being patient, understanding and loving will allow the children to exceed.  Some families may require certain certificate, background check, degrees or must have certain qualities before they hire you.

For example I started out going to a community college in Bucks County. I finished my first year and transferred to CPCC and got my first certificate and contented to get two more. After receiving these certificates I was so close to get my Associates so I finished.
