Hello Nannies!


I hope that you are enjoying your holiday season, the cold and snow!

A couple things that I wanted to remind you of and some others to let you know.

1 – CincyNanny Playdate:
Jumpin Joeys Indoor Gym in Milford. Tues., Dec. 15 @ 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. Discounted price = $5/child. More info: address, contact info, etc. is all posted on the blog. Go cincynanny.blogspot.com. I also posted a “Rant & Rave” about our experience at Jumpin Joeys and some opportunities that they have during this time. Check out the blog even if you cannot attend the Playdate.

2 – Next Quarter Events
I am starting to plan the Nannies Night Outs and Playdates for Jan, Feb & Mar. 2010. (That sounds so weird to me!) Please let me know if you have any ideas or feedback. I sure would love your guidance for the community events!

3 – Extra Income?
A lot of you may be looking for extra income during this season or following Christmas. I will begin posting babysitter opportunities on the website as well. I have had some parents looking for some steady weekend sitters. Please check cincynanny.com and let me know if you are interested. I expect that this will come and go quickly, so check in often if you are looking for them. They will be self explanatory and use the word “Sitter” rather than “Nanny”. Also, I can do a post for you as a Sitter with your availability on the “For Families” page. (All future posts, starting in January, will include your profile picture).

4 – 4C for Children
Also posted on the blog this week is some information about 4C for Children Classes offering CEUs. If you are at all interested in furthering your education in Winter or Spring, please read up on it soon as their classes are open for registration and fill up quickly.

5 – Holiday Fun
Doing anything festive – crafts, cooking, field trips, etc? Pass it on by Sunday so I can post on the blog next week!

Keep up the good work Nannies, I know that with winter comes extra challenges: more clothing – hats & gloves!, more runny noses, more parents and family hanging around… As households get busy, we get busy. Make a choice to keep a good attitude and live the Christmas Cheer! Reflect and multiply the joy you see in the children’s eyes!

Happy Holidays and hope to hear back from you!
