About MPNA

_ The Michigan Professional Nanny Association was founded in March, 2008, to meet a need:  connecting Detroit area nannies with each other.  It quickly expanded to include nannies from all over Michigan.  Because nannies often work in isolation from their professional peers, the internet proved a useful tool for connecting nannies with each other...at first online and then in real life.  MPNA was cofounded by two nannies working in Oakland County, Tara Lindsay and Maryann Meddish.  These nannies wanted to connect other nannies professionally and socially through a variety of events and activities. They sought to raise awareness, publicly and within the profession, of the high standard of care to which nannies aspire and the need for nannies to support , educate, and encourage one another.  MPNA has quickly become nationally respected among nanny support groups and helps connect local nannies to the larger nanny community through participation in events like National Nanny Night Out and National Nanny Training Day.  MPNA is the largest organized nanny network in Michigan, with a proven track record of excellence in providing quality events.



MPNA offers a variety of programming for nannies, such as:

  • Monthly gatherings to network and share ideas, tips, and tricks 
  • Social outings for nannies only
  • Group field trips for nannies and the children in their care
  • Professional development workshops
  • Access to educational opportunities and workshops on childcare related  topics
  • Participation in community service and charitable events
  • Membership in our members only yahoogroup
  • Annual Michigan host for National Nanny Training Day
 

MPNA is currently run by co-founder Tara Lindsay, and nannies Candice Kovach and Lynette Cooper.

MPNA offers non-nanny members of the community the opportunity to support nannies and the mission of MPNA through Supporting Memberships
