‘Tis the Season to Spoil your Nanny

‘Tis the Season to Spoil your Nanny

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1572216474531{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”] The holiday season is upon us, and oh how it crept up quickly! We’re running around making sure we’ve gotten all of our gifts for friends and family, but let’s not forget our nannies, mannies and other household staff. Gifting during the holiday season is something that not only benefits employees, but benefits employers, as well. The kind gesture of presenting them with a gift is sure to remind them how appreciated their work is. In return, you’ll be sure to be remembered as a caring family, hopefully ensuring more stellar employees in the future. It is standard to gift your nanny with a 1-2 weeks end of the year bonus, so please keep that in mind. However, we’ve compiled a list of 15 examples (excluding the bonus) that will, hopefully, give you some ideas for the holidays. Detail your nanny’s car (If your nanny is using their own vehicle, this could be a great suggestion. Who knows if there’s been a spilt cup of milk or not.) Gift Cards  (Macy’s, Amazon, local mall, etc..) Pedicure/Manicure (This may be great for your nanny or manny if you’ve notice that they like to keep up on their […]

Household Managers, Nannies and Families: Are you struggling to stay organized? 

As a nanny, household manager, or family member — you know how hard it is to stay organized! Keeping a household running smoothly and on track can take a village, which is why we’ve dedicated this post to a few go-to organizational apps. These apps can provide a lot of assistance that could ease the stress of maintaining your household and keeping a steady schedule. Whether you’re a single parent trying to run several schedules, a household manager attempting to keep a fully staffed household running, or a nanny who wants to share their calendar with their work family; this blog may be for you!  We put a couple of feelers out and conducted a small survey across a couple of online nanny groups. The majority of nannies/household managers chose Google Calendar followed by Cozi, and then Teamup. Below we will touch base on these top three apps!  Google Calendar is a great, but very simple tool that many people often use to share their schedules with one another. This app was the most popular amongst the household employees who chose to participate in the survey and comes highly rated on both the iPhone and Android. With Google Calendar, you […]

Why Reading is Important for Children

Why Reading is Important for Children

Winter is upon us, and with the cold and snow outdoor play time for children can be cut short. When looking for something to occupy the kids, I suggest reading. When reading is mentioned, parents and caretakers tend to have a visceral reaction. Don’t worry, I’m a librarian and I’m here to help. It is important that children read and are read to. This may sound like a simple statement, but it’s amazing the amount of people who don’t know why or how to help children do it. Again, I’m a librarian and I’m here to help. First, there are some things you should know.  When a child starts kindergarten, they should know about 30,000 words. This number sounds HUGE, I know, but it is incredibly important. Children who don’t know at least 30,000 words when they begin kindergarten may be developmentally behind those who do. School aged children who read (or are read to) during the summer months may gain up to a month’s worth of reading ability over the child who doesn’t. At a certain point, that child who doesn’t read (or wasn’t read to) may never catch up to the child who does. Below is a video […]

Thank you for all that you have done for our family! Your agency is thorough and compassionate. I would recommend you in a heartbeat. I hope that we will be able to work with you for our family’s next adventure.

We had the pleasure of being referred to Family First Travel Nannies who is owned and operated by CEO, Leigh Aberle. Our temporary nanny is a wonderful person and Nanny. My grandson loved her warm and nurturing personality. She was very attentive and made him laugh often! She always cleaned up in the kitchen and encouraged our grandson to clean up after playing. I would refer her with no hesitation. A lovely young lady and thankful for everything she did for us - especially our grandson.
