Celebrate National Nanny Recognition Week!
NNRW (Sept 18-24)
NNRW is a special week set aside each September. During NNRW we celebrate nannies and sing their praises! Nannies have historically played a very special role in the lives of families and children. They are often unrecognized for the extraordinary support they provide – let’s change that!
Flowers
It always feels special to receive flowers. Starling families have a long history of giving flowers to their nannies. We highly recommend keeping the tradition alive.
Gift Cards
Is there something your nanny adores, besides the kids? Maybe they love yoga, coffee, camping, or Amazon? No matter what you choose, a gift card is always a nice idea.
Surprise Meal(s)
Order lunch directly to the house for the week! Or one step further, pre-order dinner to be sent to your nanny’s house for the week. Try Maven Meals for pre-made meal delivery!
Bonus or Surprise Paid Day Off
Yes, please!
Ongoing Education
Maybe your nanny is interested in a special class or certification? We highly recommend the Newborn Care Solutions training course. Additionally, our friends at Sproutable are offering a discounted certification in honor of NNRW. Use the code NANNYWEEK to receive 30% off of the Positive Discipline Nanny Certification. (Valid through Sept 24) Or maybe your nanny has always wanted to attend the annual INA Conference? A continuing education bonus shows you are invested in your nanny’s professional growth.
Surprise from the Kids
Create homemade cards, bake cupcakes, or throw a surprise party when your nanny arrives in the morning! The kids will have fun creating something from their hearts. Plus encouraging your kids to show others how much they care is a beautiful thing.
Kind Words
Gratitude and kindness are everything! Share your appreciation in words. Find inspiration in the testimonials shared by Starling families.
