Honor Thy Nanny
It’s that time of year again. That’s right, national nanny recognition week is just around the corner! If you are still a novice in the childcare arena and aren’t familiar with this celebration, the week is dedicated to honor individuals within the in-home childcare industry and recognize their role in the households of families nation-wide. When I was working as a nanny, I knew nothing about this week but I sure do wish I did!
For nannies, this week is a time to commemorate the hard work, dedication and care to the children and families that they work for. No matter what role they are in the home, it is important that Nannies have this time to be celebrated. Nannies deserve to be treated as the valuable professionals that they are and this week is the perfect time to show your appreciation.
If you have a nanny working for you, please take the time to express your gratitude for them and all of the things they do to make your life that much easier. If you are having trouble coming up with ways in which to honor your nanny, feel free to take some of our suggestions! You can trust that they will be received with much gratitude. A very heartfelt idea is to have your children make your nanny a special gift. This will show appreciation not only from you as a parent but from the kids as well. Another amazing idea is to gift your nanny an individual membership to the international nanny association. You can do so here: www.nanny.org. Even an extra day off would probably be well received. You can also make sure they know about the events below and give them some petty cash to enjoy themselves.
Started by professional nannies themselves, National Nanny Recognition Week is kind of a big deal here at Perfect Fit Placement and we have tons of events and activities planned for the week! Any nanny or family member is welcome to attend and they aren’t just for our nannies. Any nanny in the area is welcome to come, we want to celebrate all nannies!
