National Nanny Recognition Week – DFW

trusting connections dfw nannies

In celebration of National Nanny Recognition Week, Trusting Connections would like to dedicate a few blog posts this week to highlight some of our wonderful TC nannies.

Today, we want to highlight and feature one of our most well-beloved DFW nannies – Hannah Jeffrey!

Her dedication, passion, and hard work amaze us every day and our DFW families just adore her and we can clearly see why! We caught up to her and asked her a few questions on her thoughts about being a nanny.

 

Q: Why did you become a nanny? How’s your experience being a DFW nanny been thus far?

A: I’m going to school to be a teacher! So I figured nannying would be a good experience to get my foot in the door! Before nannying, I taught for two years at a daycare center that I loved! Unfortunately, once I moved it was too long of a commute so nannying was the next step! I’ve loved every part of being a nanny! I love getting to know the kids and figured out what they like and dislike and being able to cater to their needs. Being a special figure in their life is an incredible thing.

 

Q: What’s your favorite thing about being a nanny?

A: My favorite part about being a nanny is getting to be involved in kids lives. Whether it’s helping with a school project, or rehearsing lines for a play or practicing their talent show act! It’s such a fun experience!

 

Q: If you could recall one of the most memorable moments/advice from being a nanny, what would it be? Why is it so memorable to you?

A: My most proud and memorable moments most all involve my premier family. The kids I see every single day have become such important people in my life. Reese is nonverbal and autistic, so I work hard with her on motor skills, speaking skills, and school work. I will never forget the day when she actually said my name for the first time!!! She has a vocabulary of about 5-8 words now since I started with her and the fact that one of those words is my name is such an incredible feeling. Davis is a hoot, and I absolutely love anytime he has a new magic trick for me. Every day with them is memorable, but those are definitely some that I hold so close to my heart. I’ve also had families with babies who haven’t learned to talk yet and to watch them learn and grow is always amazing and memorable. The best advice I’d say would be just to make sure to get involved in these kids lives. Whether you think so or not, you are so important to them, and it means so much when you show an actual interest in them and the things they do. It’s so incredibly memorable because you could tell she was so proud of herself when she actually said it. It was such a big ‘look Hannah! I can say your name now! Are you happy?!’ smile that I broke into tears.

 

Q: Do you think nannies & sitters are important people? Why so?

A: I think nannies are very important people. Even now, as a 21-year-old, my old childcare workers or sitters or teachers are still involved in my life. My very first sitter I’ve ever had known owns a daycare, and I worked for her for two years. Nannies are so important in children’s lives.

 

Q: What are your thoughts on National Nanny Recognition Week?

A: I think nanny recognition week is awesome! I think sometimes people don’t realize the lengths we go for these kiddos, and it feels amazing to be acknowledged for it.

———-

We will be featuring more of our wonderful Tucson, Phoenix, and DFW nannies throughout this week so stay tuned for more Q&A sessions!

Did you know nannies are legally recognized as household employees? That means our nannies are and should be acknowledged as professional childcare providers and caregivers. Trusting Connections is committed to advocating for our nannies by offering support and recognition throughout the year.

National Nanny Recognition Week,  September 23-29th, is a week during which “families, businesses, and the media will be encouraged to focus on the positive aspects of the nanny profession, the important role nannies play in the lives of the families and the wonderful contribution they make in the lives of the children they care for.”

Gift Ideas For Your Nanny For National Nanny Recognition Week

Trusting Connections Nannies

We will be celebrating nannies all over the nation next week for National Nanny Recognition Week. According to NNRW.org, National Nanny Recognition Week is a week during which “families, businesses, and the media will be encouraged to focus on the positive aspects of the nanny profession, the important role nannies play in the lives of the families and the wonderful contribution they make in the lives of the children they care for.”

Did you know nannies are legally recognized as household employees? That means our nannies are and should be acknowledged as professional childcare providers and caregivers.

Nannies and other childcare providers play a vital part in the children’s life. Busy working families rely on nannies to provide the attention and care for their kids during the most important stages of the child’s development. The significant role nannies play is crucial in the family’s life and with NNRW happening next week, this is THE perfect time to show your love and appreciation to them.

Adult Coloring Books

Almost all nannies engage in some form of arts and crafts activity with the kids they are looking after. It can be fun, but also stressful when it comes to the mess! Adult coloring books will help relieve the nanny’s stress and help them focus and relax. You can easily purchase one on Amazon as well as your local craft store, so grab one today! The nanny can also enjoy coloring her book while the kids color theirs!

Keurig – Cofee & Tea Set

From helping the kids get ready for school all the way to help parents tuck them into bed, the nannies’ schedule can be quite busy and sometimes, they may need a bit of a pick-me-up. And you can help by gifting them a Keurig! Whether they are a tea person or a coffee fan, having a Keurig within reach can give them a quick coffee/tea break before getting back to their hectic daily schedule.

 

There are so many other ways you can show your love and appreciation to your nanny next week. Reach out to her/his friends and family and see what’s her favorite perfume, her favorite artist, restaurant, hobbies, etc. This will make your gift more personal and special, knowing that you put thought and research into this. Let show our nannies all the love and acknowledgment they so deserve!
