International Nanny Association

Who we support

INA serves as the umbrella association for the in-home child care industry by providing information, education and guidance to the public and to industry professionals.

  • Children thrive when they are well cared for by a nurturing and attentive childcare provider in the comfort of their own home. The one on one care and interaction that a nanny or newborn care specialists provide, gives children a deep sense of security and self worth. The consistent relation­ship that children have with their caregiver allows them to develop a meaningful bond with a caring adult that has the children’s best interests at heart.

    Because the children are cared for in their own home, parents don’t have to rush to get everyone out of the house in the morning and off to daycare (which often leads to a chaotic and stressful start to the day for everyone), providing the ultimate in child care convenience.

    Children cared for by nannies and ncs are also less likely to become sick because they aren’t exposed to the many germs that large groups of children bring into a traditional daycare environment. Unlike child care centers, nannies and ncs are often able to provide childcare for mildly ill children, therefore parents don’t have to rearrange their work schedules or find last minute backup care should their child become sick.

  • Monthly Webinars

    The INA hosts webinars monthly that are open to the public for free (or a small fee). All the topics support the nanny industry and are a great way to learn something new or brush-up on some skills you already have. Find upcoming Webinars HERE.
