TC’s 4th Annual Girl Scouts Cookie Event – Recap

4th Annual Girl Scouts Cookie Event

Last Thursday, February 7th, marks TC’s 4th Annual Girl Scouts Cookie Sale Event. More than 170 boxes of Girl Scouts cookies were bought, and that’s only from Trusting Connections.

This event is aimed at supporting and encouraging young girls in their efforts to learn business and leadership skills.

We Keep Our Promises

The event was a huge success. What was set to be a two-hour event ended up being four hours of female empowerment and girl scouts fun. Not only did the Tucson Girl Scouts was able to share and perform their sales pitch to TC’s Co-Founders, Caroline and Rosalind, but they had the chance to meet and sell their cookies to other female business owners.

The girls got to present and perform their well-practiced sales pitch, jingle, dance, and in other creative ways. They also munch on some sweet goodies, engage in a fun arts and craft activity, and dance to great music.

Future Plans For TC’s Annual Event

Trusting Connections are so grateful to have other businesses be present in this year’s grand tradition and hope that more business participants will participate in next year’s Girl Scouts Cookie event. Rosalind and Caroline also hope they can bring this tradition to other cities like Phoenix and Dallas-Fort Worth in the future.

A big thank you to all the businesses, volunteers, and nannies that came out last week. Thank you to Local Tucson Media and KVOA as well for the featured articles.

4th Annual Girl Scouts Cookie Sale Event

Thin Mints, Samoas, and S’mores, Oh My!

Trusting Connections is keeping the tradition alive by hosting their 4th Annual Girl Scouts Cookie Sale Event!

With the “biggest girl-led entrepreneurship program” happening soon, we are excited to host our annual event for all of our fellow Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona.

This event is aimed at supporting and encouraging young girls in their efforts to learn business and leadership skills. And this year, we hope to inspire more girls scouts than ever!

We Made A Promise

On Thursday, February 7, 2019, Co-Founders Rosalind Prather and Caroline Wesnitzer, vow to purchase cookies from every girl scout that visits between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm. In addition to Trusting Connections, we have other female business owners who will be participating in this year’s event.

Trusting Connections would like to give a huge shoutout to Mary Cliff, owner of Our Play Place, Jayne Henninger from Remedy Intelligent Staffing, Beth Dannheim of American Family Insurance, Holly von Guilleaume, Co-Founder of DSA Vacations and Moms Making Six Figures Partner, and Angela Gange, Senior Partner of Moms Making Six Figures and Founder of TLG Partnerships who have joined to help support our Tucson girl scouts for this upcoming event!

Keeping the Tradition Alive

This year, the event will be held at the Girl Scout offices on Broadway. In the spirit of the educational purpose of this program, girls – individually or in groups, will be asked to give a brief sales pitch to TC Co-Founders before being invited to draw from a jar that will contain notes indicating how many boxes the agency will purchase from one to up to 25 boxes. Signs, posters, and jingles are welcome, so come prepared! Other businesses have pledged to extend the same offer or similar offers. Unlike previous years, Girl Scouts will need to bring the cookies to the event.

Refreshments and snacks will be available along with a fun arts and crafts activity. We expect a huge turnout this year, so please plan to arrive early to avoid a long wait time.

For questions or media inquiries, please email info@trustingconnections.com.

“12 Months of TC” – The Best Babysitting Service!

TC best babysitting service

Why are we the best babysitting service? Let us count the ways! 

 

Our award-winning agency is a favorite among local families.  We are a brick-and-mortar agency that meets and throughly vets every candidate . With one of the most rigorous screening processes in the industry, our clients can rest assured that our sitters are truly the best in the area. As a member , you’ll have access to an entire team of agency-employed nannies and sitters and 24/7 emergency back-up care 365 days a year, even at a moment’s notice.

Aside from offering the highest quality care, our women-owned business has certainly accomplished a lot this year. Set to the tune of “The 12 Days of Christmas”, read (or sing!) to learn about the biggest TC news of 2018!

On the 1st Month of TC, our a-a-a-gency….hired Kim and Mallory! 

In January, we added to our staff by hiring our Sales and Marketing Assistant, Kim. Then, we added Mallory, our Tucson Flex Director, to our TC family. Both of these incredible ladies have now been with us almost a year. This was a huge deal since Caroline and Rosalind have such a hard time taking their hands off the wheel. Both of these women quickly became such an integral part of our team!

On the 2nd Month of TC, our a-a-a-gency…bought a lot of cookies! 

We carried on our annual tradition of supporting female entrepreneurialism  and promised to buy cookies from every girl scout who came to our office with a sales pitch in February. Girls were lining up out the door for a chance to meet and be inspired by our founders. Our nannies and staff made bracelets with the girls while they were waiting and passed out snacks. Some girls made up their own jingles, some danced, and one little daisy made her own business cards. 

On the 3rd month of TC, our a-a-a-gency…decided on expansion! 

Early in March, Rosalind and Caroline were discussing an unrelated matter via phone, when they made a very unexpected decision to fast-forward their expansion plans and launch our third location in the summer. This left only four months for our staff to prepare for the opening of our Phoenix location but we rocked it.

On the 4th month of TC, our a-a-a-gency….got a new look! 

Rosalind decided that the old look had to go, and in April, we revealed a new TC logo. Sounds simple enough but it was quite an undertaking, rebranding our entire agency. Later, in the summer we launched a new website as well. Not only can you read about our babysitting service membership or how to hire the best nanny, you can also learn the story of how TC got started and see an embarrassing glamour shot of our founders in middle school!

On the 5th Month of TC, our a-a-a-gency…..threw an epic pa-a-arty! 

The International Nanny Association held their annual conference at the J.W. Marriott in Tucson this year and all conference attendees were invited to our office. We were so thrilled to be able to host a fun, post-conference fiesta….Tucson style! Our guests came from all over the world. They enjoyed El Guero Canelo food truck delicacies, local Arizona wines and margaritas served by a sommelier, live country music from Caiden Brewer and even a cactus-shaped piñata.  We had maybe a little too much fun dancing the night away. 

On the 6th month of TC, our a-a-a-gency….began a special project!

Our Executive Assistant, Ashley, spearheaded a community outreach program in partnership with Diamond Children’s hospital in June. Each month, our office team and a few nannies visit the hospital to host a story time and craft. We are still on the hunt for a children’s hospital in the DFW and Phoenix area to expand this program.

On the 7th month of TC, our a-a-agency…..opened up in Phoenix! 

In July, we were officially open for business and ready to serve families and nannies all over The Valley. Our physical office space is in Chandler. Ana Rizzo was hired to serve as the Phoenix Flex Director and Placement Coordinator. She would love a visit from you!

On the 8th month of TC our a-a-a-gency….got a knocked up Founder! 

Need we say more? It’s been a long journey and Caroline has been so wonderfully open about her struggles with infertility. She is such an inspiration and we are so happy for her and her husband, Austin! We are especially looking forward to baby snuggles in the office, come April! Luckily, she owns the best babysitting service in town. So she won’t have to worry about finding great help! How priceless is her pregnancy announcement? (P.S. A BIG shout out to Arizona Reproductive Institute, especially to Dr. Mansfield and Leah Offerdahl for all their expertise and support throughout Caroline and Austin’s journey. We HIGHLY recommend them!)

On the 9th of month TC our a-a-a-agency …won a Copper Cactus! 

We were SO honored to find out that we were a finalist for the Copper Cactus Award for Small Business Growth in September. Nominees were judged on gross revenue, employee growth and compensation expenditure growth. We found out in October that we WON!

On the 10th month of TC our a-a-a-gency…did a ribbon cutting! 

We had a super fun Fall Family Festival-themed ribbon cutting event to celebrate the opening of our Phoenix location. The Chandler Chamber of Commerce was there, along with friends, colleagues and family who came out to show their support. Rosalind and Caroline continued the tradition of having their moms stand by their side as they cut the ribbon. Some happy tears were shed. It could have just been the mimosas.

On the 11th month of TC, our a-a-a-gency…spoke to lots of Girl Scouts! 

Caroline and Rosalind were super thrilled that they were asked to speak for the G.I.R.L. Conference put on by the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona. They held a workshop on “personal branding” and encouraged each girl to recognize and appreciate her own uniqueness and helped the girls write out core values.  

On the 12th month of TC, our a-a-a-gency …adopted three great families! 

Our annual holiday charity project has grown this year with a third agency. This year we are surprising three very deserving families with some holiday gifts…a single mom with infant twins whose husband passed away in August, a single mom with five boys including two with special needs, and a family with six children dealing with some health and financial stressors. Thank you to those of you who have made financial and in-kind contributions to this special project. We are so grateful! ….. But the biggest and best highlight of this year and every year has been serving and supporting our amazing families and nannies, to whom we owe so much gratitude. You are the reasons why we do what we do and we are so grateful that you have given us the opportunity to be a part of your lives. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes in 2019!

Our Nannies And Sitters Are Here To Help

Back to school education concept with girl kid (elementary student) carrying backpacks holding parent woman or mother's hand walking up school building stair going to class

It’s that time of year again where summer break is coming to an end and a new school year is about to begin. Parents have already begun or will soon begin planning out their weekly schedule and for some, will be doing so with a little bit of anxiety and slight panic.

Things Every Working Parent Struggle With

Parents will find themselves planning, coordinating, more planning, finding and juggling flexible ways to mesh their work schedule with their children’s school schedule to ensure that everyone gets dropped off where they need to be and be picked up at the right time. Nothing is worse than having to pick up your kid at 3 pm and quickly drive them to their soccer practice that starts at 4 pm but only to get an email of an urgent mandatory staff meeting at 2:15 pm. Sounds familiar to any parents here?

How about scenario two: Waking up a little bit earlier than usual to prep and pack your kids’ lunch before heading off work to finish up a big project that has a 2 pm deadline but then find yourself in a bind when your child is in bed with a fever, stuffy nose, and a cough out from nowhere. Unexpected, unpredictable, and unpreventable. Sound relatable yet?

These situations can leave parents in disarray and overwhelm so why not let someone help and take over that anxiety and stress? We have a solid solution for you!

A Solution For All Parents

Did you know that the childcare industry is currently valued at $47 billion and still growing? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “employment of childcare workers is projected to grow 7 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Job opportunities for childcare workers are expected to be favorable.”

There’s a reason why the childcare industry is favorably growing, and that’s because busy working parents realize they do need that extra hand of help taking care of their children and there are many nanny agencies out there solely built and founded to provide those services!

Nanny agencies such as Trusting Connections is focused on helping and alleviating the stress that comes in finding reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced nannies and sitters for families of all situations. Our team of nannies and sitters can help parents with before and after-school care, meal prep, tutoring and much more. Whether you are a new parent needing a little overnight help, or a family who is looking for consistent care, it can all be done with the help of a nanny or a sitter! Let’s not forget date nights and those unanticipated sick days as well!

Trusting Connections understand how stressful this time of year can be for parents, so we want to help. August is a busy month for everyone, but it’s also a special month for us as Trusting Connections is celebrating our 7th Anniversary!
