While bonuses and holiday gift giving are always at the discretion of the employer and typically reflect the nanny’s length of service, job performance, the family’s appreciation for the care she provides the children, and recognition for a job well done, many families are unsure what amount is appropriate to give their nanny as a gift or holiday bonus. Here are some of our best tips.
1. Enroll her in NannyTraining.com’s professional nanny certificate program
2. Get her a subscription to her favorite magazine
3. Purchase her a gift card to a local spa or salon
4. Anything nanny themed – a t-shirt, sweatshirt or bag
5. Membership to the International Nanny Association
6. A framed photo of your nanny and your children
7. Anything special made by the children for their nanny
8. Car detailing – especially if she uses her car for work
9. A personalized coffee mug with assortments of coffee and tea
10. Anything techy- a Nook, Kindle or iPad
The Holiday and Year End Bonus
Traditionally speaking, nannies typically receive a holiday bonus equivalent to one to two week’s wages.
This amount typically increases in amount depending on the number of years a nanny has been with a family, with long-term nannies receiving as much as equivalent to one month’s wages.
For nannies who are new to the family, calculating one day’s pay for each month of employment is a standard approach.

A quick look at Instgram or Facebook and it’s clear; people love taking pictures of their children. But for some parents and nannies, capturing the best photograph is not in their wheelhouse. Take heart. We’ve got some great tips for you. Recently I had a chance to connect with Jacob Shelby of The Shelby Studio to learn how nannies and parents could up their photography game. Here’s his 5 best tips for photographing children and capturing their best.
1. Get Down!
The key to a great photo, regardless of its subject, is that it draws you in. The power of an image that puts you in the story tends to be greater than one that sets you apart from it. The easiest way to connect a viewer to your subject when photographing a child is to get on their level. This tip takes little effort but has the maximum payoff! 
2. Pay Attention to the Background
Nothing ruins a great photo like a bad background. As I mentioned above, getting down on your child’s eye level helps connect your audience to your subject but it also opens up your options for a better background.
3. Anticipate
Let’s say you’re photographing your child’s birthday party, there are some key moments that you know will give you the potential for great photos: birthday cake, unwrapping gifts, entertainment, etc. Keep these things in mind beforehand and set yourself up in position from the best vantage point and get the best photo.
4. Rapid Fire
When the moment for a great photo comes it’s a good idea to snap at least two or three shots in rapid succession. This doesn’t mean to “spray and pray”, which is the act of shooting as many photos as possible hoping to capture one good one. It just means that it’s smart to get two or three quick shots to ensure your shot isn’t ruined by a blinking kid.
5. Be Patient
Patience may be a virtue but when it comes to snagging that perfect photograph of your child it’s a necessity. I’m referring to your patience with your photography. It’s easy to get discouraged and to decide that the effort isn’t paying off but your photography skills will improve if you stick with it.
Getting great portraits takes skill, intuition, and lots of practice but if you keep these 5 tips in mind the next time you’re photographing your kiddos you’ll be well on your way to some truly great photos. Need some help capturing your child at their best? Contact The Shelby Studio to schedule your family portrait session.

For many nannies, especially those who work in the suburbs, driving children is an essential part of their daily duties and responsibilities. From taking children to school and afterschool activities, to driving them to and from playdates or appointments, transporting children is often a requirement of the job.
Yet nannies are often surprised to learn that speeding tickets, driving with a revoked license, operating under the influence, reckless driving, failure to use proper child restraints, driving an unsafe vehicle and other charges or arrests can be problematic and even detrimental to their job search.
While one speeding ticket a few years back may not automatically disqualify a nanny applicant from working with an agency, especially if she has taken a defensive driving course and has references that report she is a safe driver, a pattern of motor vehicle incidents not only demonstrate a questionable driving history, but may paint a bigger overall picture – one of poor judgement.
For families who utilize a reputable nanny referral agency, checking a potential candidate’s driving history is – or should be – a standard norm. As a pre-requisite for representation at Morningside Nannies, all candidates must have a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, access to a reliable vehicle that can be used for work and consent to a background check that consists of a motor vehicle driving record check as part of their screening process.
How the data returned on the checks is handled can vary from agency to agency. While the laws vary by state on what data and information can and cannot be used for pre-employment screening, reputable agencies will consider all data and information that they can legally use as far back as they can legally use it as allowed by law when making a representation determination.
Since a candidate authorizes consent of a motor vehicle driving record check and is applying for positions that require the transportation of children, it’s paramount that the data and information gathered reflect that a nanny is a safe and responsible driver.

Recently I had a chance to connect with Candi Vajana, INA’s 2017 Nanny of the Year. Here’s a bit of the advice she had to share. – Michelle
What advice do you have for people trying to enter into the nanny world and get their first nanny job?
Be humble. listen to other nannies and nanny agencies. Try to find a mentor. Entering the nanny world may appear easy, anyone can call themselves a 
nanny, but being a professional nanny requires a lot of skills, patience and a lot of love. If you don’t love children, and I really mean LOVE children, being a nanny is not for you. If you aren’t fun, don’t have a great sense of humor then nannying is not for you. If you really want to be a professional nanny, invest in yourself, attend classes, go to trainings, attend conferences, read, shadow other nannies.
What does being NOTY mean to you?
Being Nanny of the Year means being the spokesperson for my profession. It means being at the top of my game and it means being an industry leader. To me, being the Nanny of the Year means being an advocate for my colleagues and my profession, it means being able to make an impact in the way the nanny profession is perceived.
What do you think defines a professional nanny?
What defines a professional nanny is the training, the experience, the personality, the education, the languages and many other sills the nanny brings to the table, Professionalism is the same for all industries, Merriam Webster defines Professionalism as ” the conduct, aims or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person”.
What is your best bit of advice for nannies starting out? For experienced nannies?
My best advice for nannies starting out, I will go back to what I said earlier, be humble, learn, learn, learn, be respectful and true to yourself. My best advice for experienced nannies, learn, there is always something new to learn and share your knowledge, mentor less experienced nannies, attend conferences as speakers, be respectful and true to yourself.

Comments Off on 2017 INA Nanny of the Year Candida Vajana_
For parents who employ a nanny, the decision of whether or not to have and/or to disclose the use of a nanny cam is an extremely personal one. It’s a question that involves both legal and ethical considerations and, in my opinion, a close examination of the parents motive for considering one.
First, let’s start with the legal considerations. The laws regarding the use of nanny cams vary by jurisdiction. Local and state laws addressing nanny cams can be different from each other and from federal laws. According to WECUsurveillance.com, the laws are a complicated patchwork of laws since federal laws don’t pre-empt the state and local laws. This means if your local law is more stringent, it could supersede the state or federal law.
The real bone of contention between the laws deals with the audio recording of parties who have not given consent. Most states allow for the use of video recording with or without consent or permission, provided the laws are respected. For video surveillance, the cameras cannot be placed in an area where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, like a bathroom or a nanny’s personal living quarters.
If you’re considering using a nanny cam, it’s best to seek the advice of a law professional or private investigator that is well versed in eavesdropping and wiretapping laws in your area.
Now let’s move onto the ethical consideration. For parents who are considering using a nanny cam, they’ll need to evaluate their ethical beliefs regarding privacy and videotaping their employee secretly. Nanny and employer relationships are built on trust, and violating that trust can be problematic for some employers. How parents feel about privacy and trust may affect their decision to utilize surveillance.
In addition to the legal and ethical considerations, parents should consider their motive for using a nanny cam. Nanny cams should be used to deter abuse, not to capture it. If a parent feels that their child is being mistreated or neglected, or the parent simply doesn’t trust the nanny, the nanny should be terminated immediately. Parents should never leave their child in the care of anyone, nanny cam or not, with whom they do not trust completely.
Parents typically utilize nanny cams to calm fears or to investigate suspicions. For parents who wish to utilize a nanny cam to calm their fears, they should not let the nanny cam give them a false sense of security. The nanny cam should not be the sole determining factor for assessing the quality of care that their child is receiving, since some interactions will likely take place out of view of the camera.
For parents who want to evaluate the level of care that their child is receiving, stopping in unexpectedly, asking a neighbor to pop in periodically, coming home early without advance notice, checking in by phone throughout the day, and discussing any concerns with their nanny may provide information that can help them access their care giving arrangement.
Once parents have decided to use a nanny cam, they’ll need to decide if they should disclose that they will be using one. While they don’t need to disclose the location of cameras, the International Nanny Association (INA) does recommend that the employer disclose the use of nanny cams to their nanny, preferably before employment begins.
If parents plan to use a nanny cam and know this prior to hiring a nanny, they may wish to include a clause stating such in their nanny/family agreement. If employers wish to install one after their nanny has started, they should discuss the use of cameras with the nanny and give the nanny the option to leave the position, without the fear of negative consequences, according to INA.
Nannies typically do not mind being videotaped while working. Professional nannies respect a parent’s concern for their child’s welfare and may view a nanny cam as a benefit to themselves as well. What better way to show their employer’s that their child is being well cared for then to be recorded providing high quality care? Many nannies view a nanny cam as being a protective measure. Nannies who provide high-quality care and are under surveillance may also be protected from false accusations of abuse, since they are being videotaped during their working hours.
What nannies do mind, however, is being videotaped without their consent. To a nanny, being videotaped without her consent could indicate a lack of trust. Since nanny and employer relationships are built on trust, a nanny who feels that the trust was broken may leave her position.
At the end of the day, parents need to make their own decisions on whether or not to use a nanny cam and whether or not to disclose the use of one to their nanny.
I believe it is best practice for parents to disclose the use of nanny cams and for nannies to always work as if they are being watched.

Recently I had a chance to connect with Princess & Tiaras Spa Celebrations in Katy – Houston TX. Princess & Tiaras is a unique spa and beauty themed party experience for the princess at home! They have their own truck, so no clean up and offer both birthday and playdate packages. Here’s what they had to share.
What makes your offerings special?
We offer the best part of both worlds: Enjoying your party at the comfort of your own house without the mess since everything happens inside the Spa on Wheels! The party 
girls decor is unique with cozy, comfortable, and super girly lights, accessories, mirrors, and everything that a girl needs to have fun with her friends!
What are your best tips for making a child’s birthday magical?
Make sure that the birthday girls feels special, playing her favorite music, having her friends to cheer her during the party, taking pictures of her, and make sure she is having the most memorable day of her life!
What is the best thing you offer your clients?
Not only do we offer entertainment for the girls, but also a complete stress-free party for the parents since they can add everything they need for the party from the tables and beautiful chiavari chairs to the super fun favors for the girls! The best part- no clean up for the parents!
What is your best tips for a successful party?
Always have a positive attitude that you can transfer to every guest, especially to the guest of honor. Pay attention to every detail that you will contribute to make this a celebration they will always remember. Have fun and enjoy your time being the party coordinator.
What do you want families to know about your services?
We host birthday parties AND playdates for the girls. So, whenever you have a gathering, reunion, pool party or just because- we can be there to make sure the girls are having lots of fun!
How and why did you start this business?
This is taken from the blog written about starting/ why and how Princess & Tiaras came to life:
On February 18th, 2014 Bianca Barona Abud received some of the most devastating news a parent could hear: her three-year-old son, Luca, had been diagnosed with Leukemia.
Amidst a whirlwind of doctor appointments and emotions, Bianca learned her job of 10 years was letting her go after a company-wide restructuring. Shortly after, her father-in-law passed away.
Despite the difficult time that Bianca and her family were experiencing, Bianca made a conscious decision not to give up. Seeing strength in Luca and daughter Isabella, Bianca found the courage to start her own business. From there, Princess & Tiaras Spa Celebrations was born.
Bianca drew from her lifelong love of singing, dance, makeup artistry and fashion to create Princess & Tiaras Spa Celebrations. The event planning company brings a unique spa and beauty-themed party experience to the celebrants’ door with a mobile Spa Truck. Aimed at girls ages 3 to 12, Princess & Tiaras Spa Celebrations takes the stress of throwing a children’s party away from Houston-area parents.
Bianca structured her business to give her a flexible schedule. Only offering parties on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays allows Bianca to be present for all of Luca’s doctor appointments. Having a reliable staff, Bianca could leave an event in a split second should Luca or Isabella need her.
Today, Princess & Tiaras Spa Celebrations has become part of the Abud family. Bianca affectionately refers to the business as her “third child.” Having immigrated to the United States from Mexico, Bianca counts on her daughter, Isabella as a model for her clientele in the U.S. market.
“Whenever I have an idea, I always show it to my daughter first to get her approval. Then I know the other girls will love it!” says Bianca.
Not only did Princess & Tiaras Spa Celebrations help Bianca support her family and her son’s medical expenses, but the business gave Bianca an outlet when she needed it the most.
“Without this – without the parties, without the singing, dancing, having fun, seeing other girls having fun, being happy. I don’t know what I would do. I was going crazy” says Bianca, “It made a huge difference in my life.”
Bianca has hosted over 300 parties to date. She saw a return on the investment she made in the company in just two years. She now employs a staff of six and is exploring franchising the business in cities outside Houston.
“This could be something big!” Bianca reacts to the demand for more event planning companies like her own “People want to be a part of this.”

Responses are provided by Deborah J. Pontius, MSN, RN, NCSN, FNASN, health services coordinator and school nurse, Pershing County School District, Lovelock, NV; and executive committee member and past board member, National Association of School Nurses (NASN).
Q: What are your top three head lice prevention tips?
A: Parents often ask me this question after they have personally dealt with head lice, wondering if they could have done anything more to avoid it. While no prevention method is guaranteed to completely ward off head lice, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the following steps can be taken to help prevent and control the spread of head lice:
- Avoid head-to-head contact during play time and other common activities such as sports practice, sleepovers, camp, etc.1
- It’s a good idea not to share hats, scarves, combs, brushes, towels, coats or any hair accessories in general, particularly those that come into contact with a person with head lice.1
- Don’t lie on carpets, beds, couches, pillows or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with a person with head lice.1
Many parents also believe that homeopathic remedies, such as using essential oils, prevent and treat head lice. When choosing treatment options, it is best to consider evidence-based, FDA-approved solutions that have been tested by professionals and have been proven effective for eliminating head lice.
Most importantly, if you find yourself in a battle against head lice, stay calm and don’t panic. Many of your friends and even extended family members have likely also dealt with head lice, so try to keep from feeling embarrassed, ashamed or even isolated. Instead talk to your health care professional about the best treatment options for your family, which may include prescription options.
Q: What is the biggest myth about lice?
A: In my day-to-day interactions with students, parents, teachers and administrators as a school health services coordinator, I see and hear a lot of misconceptions surrounding head lice. But one of the myths that I’m most passionate about debunking, and that is often perpetuated, is that no-nit policies reduce the transmission of head lice in schools, which no evidence has shown.2
Traditionally, many schools have had a “no-nit” policy, requiring all viable and non-viable nits (or head lice eggs) be removed before a child can return to school. This policy is problematic for many reasons – removing a child from school can contribute to the stigma and shame that is often associated with contracting head lice. Not to mention:
- Approximately 10 percent of school-aged children in the United States have experienced long-term consequences of school absences due to “no-nit” policies prohibiting them from attending school because of head lice or nits.4 For example, 12-24 million school days are missed annually, often causing students to fall behind in class.5
- Families can lose up to $2,720 in wages per head lice infestation.2
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),6 CDC7 and the National Association for School Nurses (NASN)8 have all called for an end to “no-nit” policies in schools. Additionally, many parents may find it surprising to learn that schools provide little to no opportunity for close head-to-head contact, excluding preschool and kindergarten-aged children, making them a rare source for head lice transmission.2 It’s important, however, that despite where your school district stands on this policy, parents remain vigilant about treating head lice.
Q: What is a nit?
A: There are three stages of a louse life cycle: egg/nit, nymph and adult.9 Adult female head lice lay 8 to 10 eggs, also known as nits, per day.2 Typically white or yellowish in color, nits are often confused with scabs, dandruff, or droplets of hair spray.9 Nits are most commonly found behind the ears or at the nape of the neck.2 Parents should also know that not all nits will hatch and become live head lice.9 Nits that are located further than ¼ inch from the base of the hair shaft may be empty, have already hatched or are considered non-viable.9
Q: How can you really get rid of lice?
A: The CDC recommends treatment for head lice if someone is diagnosed with a live case.10 When parents come into my office panicked after discovering their child may have head lice, my advice is to stay calm and consult a health care provider who can confirm the diagnosis and discuss the best treatment options for your family.
Furthermore, while head lice is most commonly transmitted by head-to-head contact,9 parents should combine treatment with adjunctive cleaning measures: dry-clean or wash in hot water recently-worn clothing, hats, used bedding and towels, and soak personal care items – such as combs, brushes and hair clips – of all family members with head lice.10 For items that cannot be washed, seal them in a plastic bag for two weeks.10
Q: Why are people so grossed out by lice?
A: I’m well aware that the topic of head lice alone is enough to make people start itching! And after 17 years as a school nurse, I’ve seen a lot of cases of head lice, as well as many different reactions to the news.
I think the visceral, negative reactions to head lice are often because of the abundance of misinformation on the internet and common myths that beg to be debunked. It is always important to fact-check and make sure that what you read comes from a credible source or a medical professional. I encourage parents and caregivers with school-aged kids to talk to school nurses, pediatricians and other health care professionals about the condition before your child has it so you know what to expect and afterwards to ensure an accurate diagnosis and the best treatment. There’s also a host of information from trusted, credible medical organizations like AAP, NASN and the CDC.
Q: Should a child go to school or daycare if they have lice?
A: Yes, it is okay for your child to stay in school or daycare if they have head lice, unless there are explicit policies in place against head lice in the classroom. If you are unsure of the head lice policy, contact your school nurse or administrators who will have the latest information.
If there is a “no-nit” policy in place, do not give up hope! Partner with your school nurse to advocate for school board administrators to reassess their approach to head lice with the latest, evidence-based information. That can incite change so kids and their families feel less shame from head lice stigma, fewer kids are removed from school unnecessarily and parents are able to stay at work to provide for their families.
Q: Anything else parents and caregivers should know?
A: While head lice is a common childhood event, parents can often mistake what is and what isn’t active head lice. I remember one mother who came to see me and was quite upset. She was certain her child had head lice again after having seen nits on her head and was convinced it was from school, as that was the only place the child had been. I took a look at the child’s head and realized the problem. The mom pointed to nits found 2 and 3 inches down the hair shaft. These were very old nits from the previous infestation 4-6 months ago. Instead of live nits, these were just old, empty shells that hadn’t fallen out with the hair or been removed. It’s a reminder for parents that not everything on the head is an active case of head lice, and that’s why it’s always a good idea to visit a health care provider if you think your child has an infestation.
Also when dealing with a head lice infestation, remember that you are not alone. Since head lice are only spread from close head-to-head contact,9 I often tell my families something noted parasitologist and lice specialist Dr. Richard Pollack says, “Be happy! Having lice means your child has friends!” Your children are not dirty, and they are not bad. They are just kids with families and friends, all of whom can spread colds, the flu and yes, even head lice.
Lastly, we’ve learned a lot about head lice in the last few decades, and there have been many advancements in treatment. Together, parents, caregivers, administrators and school nurses can all effectively advocate for change in outdated, ineffective no-nit policies, educate one another on the facts of head lice and keep our children happy, healthy and in school.
