Nanny of the Year con't
Jenny is also active in the general childcare community: she has been the President of the Northwest Nanny Association for six years. The NNA is a support group for area nannies whose main goals are "to promote professionalism, ongoing education, and a means for our members to network and connect with other nannies for playgroups and outings." The NNA also does community and charitable work. This involvement has been very significant in Jenny's career: in fact, when asked what her advice would be to fellow nannies, she says, "Join your local, national and international support programs. I am constantly learning new things from my peers. Without the connection of these organizations, our jobs could be a very lonely place."

We would also like to congratulate Donna Saunders , one of our very own nannies, who was nominated by her employers for Nanny of the Year. Even though she didn't win the final award, she's a winner to us!
We're proud of you, Donna!

Summer Reading Corner
Here are some recommendations from the American Library Association for those rainy summer days, for reading by the pool, bedtime, or any time.
For Younger Readers:
Greenwillow, by Jeannie Baker
In this wordless story, children watch Tracy grow up as her neighborhood, shown through a window of her home, is transformed from a community of concrete and graffiti to a place of greenery and scenic beauty.
For Older Readers:
Millions, by Frank Boyce
In this sweet, fast-paced, funny novel set in England, fourth-grader Damien Cunningham and his older brother, Anthony, ponder what to do after a big bag of furnace-bound, pre-Euro pound notes is hurled from a train and lands at Damien's feet.
