Happy Fall!  This past week was National Nanny Recognition Week, we so value each and every one of you and the contribution you make to our families and their children.  Thank you for investing your life to improve the lives of others.  You have intentionally chosen a career in service and put yourself in a position to pour into and change forever a young life or, in many cases, multiple young lives.  Being a nanny can be an often thankless job - you are usually the one in the background orchestrating events so that everything appears to happen seamlessly: school supplies are in backpacks, homework is done, lunches are packed, kids are on time to after school activities, and so much more. 

 

Just when you think your efforts have gone unnoticed, you get a scribbled note with lots of X's and O's and crayon colored stick figures you can't quite make out.  Your thanks is often received indirectly in smiles and giggles, sloppy kisses, unending hugs, and when it's time for you to go home, a heavy dead weight clinging to your ankle begging you to stay just one more minute, to read just one more story. 

 

You are the reason we are still here after 16 years with many of our client families returning again and again to find someone just like you!  We so appreciate you!  Thank you for doing the great job you do every day all the time! 

 

Kathy Dupuy, President
