MaidProvider.ph Joins the International Nanny Association
International Nanny Association
Placement Agency MemberMaidProvider.ph is now an International Nanny Association Placement Agency Member, Member No. 3985. The membership adds access to industry resources, education and professional peers.
What is the International Nanny Association?
The International Nanny Association, or INA, is a nonprofit association serving the in-home childcare industry. Founded in 1985, it describes itself as the umbrella association for the field.
Its membership includes nannies, employers, placement agencies, newborn care specialists, educators and industry service providers. INA also maintains a dedicated Placement Agency membership category for organizations that connect families with in-home childcare professionals. Learn more about INA →
What membership means in practice
Placement Agency membership gives MaidProvider.ph access to INA's Recommended Practices for Placement Agencies, member resources, webinars, networking and professional-development opportunities. Up to three agency staff members may also participate as INA Business Staff Members.
Household employment is local: laws, wages and working arrangements vary by country. The core questions are more universal. Agencies still have to define roles clearly, screen responsibly, set expectations and support both families and household professionals. Membership gives MaidProvider.ph a broader professional reference point for that work.
Labour law, minimum wage orders, licensing, contracts, household structures, live-in and stay-out arrangements.
Placement practice, screening standards, professional education and recognition of in-home childcare work.
- Define the role clearly
- Screen responsibly
- Set expectations in writing
- Support both sides after placement
Membership does not move any part of the left column. It widens the reference point for the right.
Access to professional education, placement-agency resources and peers working in the same field outside the Philippines.
An agency that remains engaged with wider professional thinking on in-home childcare, placement practice and responsible screening.
A connection to an association that promotes professional development and greater recognition of the nanny profession.
The value of membership is not the badge. It is the access to information, professional practice and peers that can make an agency better at its work.
What INA membership does not mean
INA membership is not accreditation, certification, agency licensing or endorsement.
- Professional membership
- Access to recommended practices
- Professional education
- An industry network
- Accreditation
- Certification
- Agency licensing
- Endorsement
MaidProvider.ph operates under DOLE PEA License M-24-04-034. Philippine licensing sits outside this figure entirely.
It sits alongside MaidProvider.ph's responsibilities as a Philippine placement agency, never in place of them. The distinction is important: professional affiliation can inform practice, but it does not replace regulation or an agency's own accountability.
Trust is stronger when credentials are explained rather than exaggerated.
Why this belongs within Human+
Human+ is built around a simple idea: household staffing should work better for both sides of the placement. INA membership fits that work because it adds an international professional perspective without replacing local judgment, regulation or responsibility.
Seventeen years of practice
MaidProvider.ph has worked in Philippine household staffing since 2009. In that time, expectations around screening, privacy, wages, communication and working conditions have changed. Experience matters only if practice changes with it. INA membership is one part of that continuing work.
