"When I found the International Nanny Association (INA) through a google search, it was a God send. I felt like I was home, I found my tribe. It was so overwhelming because I felt like I had been in isolation for over 17 years as a nanny. Without a doubt, being a member of the INA has been one of the best choices I’ve made for the advancement of my career."
