National Nanny Training Day 2017 will be held in April. Is there an event near you? If not, why not consider hosting one? Sue talks about how to organize an event and what is involved.

You want to wear a bikini but employers say it is too racy for the swim club and want you to wear a one piece suit. You want a tattoo but some families won't keep a nanny with body art. Where do we as nannies have a responsibility to represent the family in the way that they want? 

One special thing about being a nanny is that we can form true connections to our kids. So what does that mean? Why is being connected important and how can we foster this special relationship? 

In this episode we discuss a few topics including new studies and how they creep out onto the internet, the government worker who went crazy over nanny parking, and answer questions from our Facebook page. 

Lora and Sue discuss recent events in Cincinnati, when a young child got away from his mother and ended up in the gorilla exhibit.

Do you consider your nanny family to be clients or customers? Do you approach your job with the ideas of customer service? We talk about how this idea of customer service affects nannies.
