Here’s what the attendees have to say about the workshops they attended:

"I greatly enjoyed all of the information and new activity ideas I received from attending the
“A Nanny's Day ~ The Professional Way!” workshop. It motivated me to want to maintain a
regular theme and project schedule with my charges. Keeping a profile of your charges day is
an excellent idea too, since most of the time my employers are focused on the children when
they return home and they can view the items at their leisure.  

All of the handouts from the “Breastfed Baby” workshop are very helpful especially since that
is a topic that is not often discussed with nannies.  

I learned so much about self mutilation in the “Self Injury ~ Warning Signs” workshop
because that is a topic not frequently discussed.  It is one of those things that most people
assume will never happen until you are in the situation.  I feel very prepared now if I ever
need to recognize a problem in a child.  

Thanks for a really enjoyable and interesting day!"

"Once again Nanny Alliance of NY & NJ has outdone themselves! The Nanny Seminar on
Sunday, March 30th was another wonderful event. Lunch was great. It was fun to catch up
with old friends and see new faces.  The topics during the seminar were diverse and
interesting and even though 2 of the 3 did not directly relate to my current position, I
enjoyed learning about new things and listening to the discussions they created.  I was also
able to make new contacts and learn new things about the nanny industry.  I would definitely
encourage more to attend.  I think the educational component of the group is one of it's major
strengths."

"Thanks for putting together such a fun seminar.  I love having the opportunity to learn more
about certain topics, and also discussing everyday issues that come up for all of us as a nanny.  
I particularly enjoyed Kristin's workshop on scheduling a Nanny’s Day ~ The Professional Way.  
She had some great ideas for art projects to do with our charges.  It inspired me to become
a little more creative in our daily activities.  I'm on my way to beating the afternoon
doldrums!  

I was so happy to win the INA membership in the raffle.  Actually all of the prizes were
great.  It's so nice of you to include a raffle at our meetings.  I'm sure you do a lot of work to
get together prizes.  Thanks for your hard work."

"It was an interesting day. "The Breast Fed Baby "workshop was very interesting, so much so,
that it has inspired me to now work on getting back into the Infant Care Specialist field.  
Thanks for setting up this seminar. I look forward to seeing you all again."

I learned so much today, even about topics I thought I was well informed on. The speakers
were outstanding and I want to thank them all for their time and knowledge.

I also wanted to thank Andrea for putting this all together. As we all know, Andrea doesn't do
anything half way. She puts her all into everything she does and this seminar was a perfect
example. As I looked at the "Thank you" page, I thought how she even follows up on things with
her whole heart. Thank you Andrea for being such a great example of a "supernanny" . When
people look at our website, thanks to Andrea and Erin, we really do shine!
