Hilton Head Nannies is a proud member of APN:The Association of Professional Nannies!

The Association of Professional Nannies, APN, is an organization of nannies who have made a conscious choice to be "Career Nannies". Our mission is to promote and achieve professionalism in the nanny industry, education in areas related to childhood development, and expertise in our chosen field.

As nannies, we are united in our common goal of providing the very best care for the children entrusted to us. We will strive to create an atmosphere that is safe, loving, nurturing, and educational for our charges while supporting our employers in their role as parents.

We believe that high-quality childcare is a long-term investment in the lives of children. The quality of care children receive has a profound impact on their lives, not just as children, but also as adults. The nannies of APN are stepping up to the task by establishing ourselves as professionals, with children being the heart of our careers.

APN members are child advocates and actively lobby on behalf of children. For more information about APN, please visit our website: http://www.nannyassociation.com/

Hilton Head Nannies is a proud member of NANC: National Association for Nanny Care 

NANC is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to promoting excellence in nanny care.  We are an umbrella organization that welcomes all those that share our mission.

There are hundreds of thousands of in-home childcare providers in this country today; all working without any generally accepted standards.  These providers often spend 10 to 12 hours a day, 5 days a week with the children they care for.  They are substantial contributors to the educational, emotional, social and physical development of those children.  We, as individuals and as an industry, cannot be truly committed to children without being committed to raising the level of education, recognition and support their caregivers receive. 

Goals of NANC 

• To raise the overall quality of nanny care. 
• To raise the public's awareness of the nanny as a childcare professional. 
• To provide real world guidelines regarding hiring practices, working conditions, and compensation for nannies. 
• To maintain an inclusive, responsive professional organization that represents the needs of all segments of nanny profession. 
• To develop and maintain a comprehensive 3 tier nanny credential system built on research-based, generally accepted standards of care and essential core knowledge areas.  Also, to support the individual nanny in her pursuit of credentialing. 
• To promote the credentialed nanny as the standard for in-home childcare providers.
