We are thrilled to partner with National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Purdue Global on this partnership to give nannies the educational development they deserve and parents the pathway to invest in their nannies professional development.
For years, nannies have been told the same thing: "You're so good with kids — have you thought about becoming a teacher?" As if the work they're already doing isn't the profession. That question is the whole problem. We've built a childcare system where experience doesn't count unless it comes with a different job title. Where a caregiver with a decade of hands-on expertise has no credentialed path forward inside the work they have already mastered, only a path out of it. That's the gap Hello Nanny!® is closing. I'm proud to share that we've partnered with Purdue Global and National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to build an accredited career pathway designed specifically for working nannies, caregivers who already have the experience, but never had the credential to prove it. This isn't a pivot into a new field. It's recognition for the field they're already in. Because caregiving is workforce infrastructure, and it's time the education system treated it that way.
