You'd think there would be more schools taking up the slack. While there are several private nanny schools in the country and increasing numbers of programs attached to community colleges, few advertise nationally.
Schools are hard to find, even on the Internet, and the trained nanny, at whatever level, is rare.
American nannies have little opportunity to get job specific education or even documentation of their skills. But overall they don't seem to show much interest. While responsible agencies debate ways of conveying to both nannies and families that conscious learning shouldn't stop when the job begins, parents tend to hold agencies responsible for placement failures. Or they struggle privately and wonder at the dearth of better prepared applicants. Apparently because neither nannies nor parents value training enough to invest in or demand it.
