So you want to host a Nannypalooza event?

The most exciting thing about Nannies Across America is that there can be an event in each and every community that really meets the needs and personality of the actual community where it is held. Each location can go big, loud, opulent. Or it could go down home, casual, informal and be just as successful. Let me demonstrate. 

One person let's say in Philly could decide to hold her event at a local library. It is 2 workshops from 9 am in the morning until noon. In between workshops there is a short break with bagels and cream cheese and some mingling. Nannies meet new friends and chat. The workshops are facilitated by a local agency owner and doctor from a local hospital. The cost is free but after the workshops all the attendees are invited out for lunch across the street. There nannies can mingle some more and share some great advice and new ideas! Great event. Simple, fun, effective. 

And at another event, let's say in LA, they could go all out. They solicit sponsors and hold their event in a conference room at a local hotel. They have goodie bags and optional events. At this event there are choices of workshops so that two are being held at each time slot. The workshops are given by national experts as well as local trainers. The event has a theme and there is a meal provided as well as some games for nannies to get to know each other and round table discussions on all sorts of topics. More elaborate, still fun, still effective. 

And BOTH events meet the needs of the community of nannies in that location. 

So far we have more than 13 cities committed to events. That means that if only 25 nannies come to each event we will have connected, trained, inspired, re-energized, and celebrated 325 nannies. With each city we can reach out to, we increase that number!! 

Please consider hosting an event in your city. Within the framework there is much flexibility to make an event large or small. The important thing is having the event!! 

Nannies Across America!

NANC is proud to announce Nannypalooza '10! Nannies across America! A weekend of nanny training events held all across the country with low cost, high quality training for nannies and placement professionals!

Sounds exciting right! Let me tell you a little more about it. We at NANC have done Nannypalooza fairly successfully for 4 years. But while we are thrilled to have included so many people, we want to make sure all have access to professional development. Travel costs preclude many nannies from attending conferences so we decided to bring Nannypalooza to the people! We are working with nanny agencies, support groups and motivated individuals to empower them and support them through the process of planning a single day training event. It will have a few workshops and some social and networking opportunities as well as the great friendly and fun Nannypalooza atmosphere. Each event in each city will be slightly different as each city will personalize the experience to meet the needs of their community. Any way you look at it, on September 18th and 19th we will gather (virtually) to share our experiences as nannies and to grow as professionals.

NANC is proud to partner with the Association of Professional Nannies to kick of National Nanny Recognition Week with out Nannypalooza events. By developing our skills and supporting each other we truly will be celebrating ALL nannies and their families.
