The Nanny Industry has definitely changed in the 17 years I have been involved. When I started in 1995, there were two Nanny Industry Associations: International Nanny Association (INA) and the National Association of Nannies (NAN). In 1998, the first National Nanny Recognition Week (NNRW) was formed. This year, NNRW will be celebrating its 14^th year. Today, there are at least five organizations/groups that influence the Nanny Industry. Each month, we will be sharing with our readers a little update on what each of the groups are doing. This will include a link to their newsletter (if available) and other important information. Make sure to “sign up” for their newsletter, “Like” them on Facebook and “follow” them on Twitter.
