This weekend, Jeff and I have the opportunity to take part in the Forest Hills Expo at Ada Christian School from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. This is a great event allowing families to learn more about local businesses, play some games and possibly win some prizes.

Nannies in Action
We recently had the opportunity to care of a group of children as their parents attended a business meeting. This was a fun opportunity to provide a lot of creative games, crafts and activities to create a great time for these kids. We also get to bring in a group of our wonderful nannies and see them in action bringing everything to life! We love watching our nannies bring excitement, creativity and intuition into this situation.

Nanny Training Sessions
We’ll be honest, being a nanny can be a tough job. Stepping into an authority role in someone else’s home with someone else’s children can be a challenge. At Northlight Nannies, we meet with our newly hired nannies to help them review some of the important “must-haves” that go along with working for a nanny family.

Do You Need a Nanny Cam?
Do families need a nanny cam? That is a personal decision for each family, but if you’re a family that’s getting ready to find a nanny, I encourage you to consider other options that can give you a quality nanny and the peace of mind that will allow you to leave home without wondering if you set the camera up properly.
