Nannies make good job look like child's play
Nannies are employed in a child's home; in-home educators take children into their homes during the day. The number of nannies and in-home educators varies across the country, with Auckland having the highest percentage of nannies.
The National Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care offered by PORSE helps nannies and in-home educators learn the introductory skills and knowledge of early childhood education and care required to care for young children. Approximately 250 students enrol each year, ranging from school leavers to grandmothers. About 25 per cent are caring for their own children; the others are focused on an early childhood education career. FULL STORY>>
