It is National Nanny Recognition Week - a time to recognize and acknowledge the positive contributions a nanny makes in the lives of the children she cares for. HomeWork Solutions is awed by the love, commitment, continuous learning, effort and passion of these women, professionally dedicated to the wellbeing of our children and to make this world a better one!
September 21 to 27, 2014 is Nanny Recognition Week worldwide. This is a special week employers, children, colleagues and others have to celebrate the nanny in their lives. This week, please take the time to recognize and acknowledte the dedication and professionalism of any nannies in your life. This is a week of celebration and joy for the families, children, nannies and all of us somehow involved in the nanny community…
As a Nanny Payroll and Tax Company, we interact with nannies and their employers all the time. We witness how life changing a nanny job can be for our children and their families.
HWS encourages you to take some time out of your busy schedule to say “Thank you” and to show your nanny how much you appreciate her work and dedication to your family.
We have some ideas for you; but you know your nanny, acknowledge her in a way she will enjoy and appreciate. And most importantly, get your children involved!
Ways to appreciate your Nanny:
Say Thank You, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Salamat, Danke, ... a handmade note of appreciation in her native language with a picture of her and your children will make her smile
Send her home early one day this week … and make it “paid” time
Treat her to lunch or dinner out
Financially support her continued professional development through training offered by Nannypalooza or the International Nanny Association
Get your kids involved, baking some goodies for her or selecting a gift card for her favorite store. Get creative with your children and get a special something for her … it will be special for your nanny and a lesson of gratitude for your kids!

Nannies not only work in your home, they’ve earned a special place in your children’s hearts. Take this opportunity to make her feel special and appreciated.
Nannies - This is an opportunity for you to celebrate yourself as well. Plan something exciting, fun or memorable for you and your charges. Take them out for a movie, ice cream, anything fun? Celebrate this week; make it memorable for you and your nanny family … just CeLeBrAtE!!
