Literature
A nanny is a professional childcare provider who works in a private home on a full-time basis providing quality care to infants and children. It is not a job; it is a valued profession. She plays a critical role in the child's growth and development. She educates while she cares, it is her goal to help raise a well-understood child and to develop a relationship with parents that has eternal value.
The L.A. Nanny Book: A Book for Nannies and Parents
By Larissa Neilson
The L.A. Nanny Book is one of just a few books written by a nanny for nannies and for someone considering a nanny career. It is comprehensive, and includes practical information—from resume writing and interviewing for a job to establishing harmonious relationships with employers and co-workers.
The second part of the book is dedicated to the Educaring® Approach, which is the respectful approach to caring for babies, also called RIE®. As you read this book, you will see how the Educaring® Approach can help to make caregiver’s work easier and more enjoyable.
The L.A. Nanny Book Reviews
Great book! It’s very informative and enjoyable to read. I love the way Larissa can communicate the principals of RIE. She does it in a graceful, and yet, very clear and direct way. I recommend this book for all young childcare professionals, no matter what stage you are in your career. Also, I found it very useful for mothers like me, who use professional help to support raising their children in the early years.

“A nanny’s success is not measure by how much money she makes or how much travel she’s done but by the impact she’s made on a child’s life.”
