Nanny of the Year (NOTY) Update

 Last weekend was the INA's Annual Conference held at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, CA. While I regret I wasn't able to attend, I am happy to Announce that Greta Schraer of Batavia, Ohio was crowned as the 2010 Nanny of the Year!

"Greta has both a bachelors and masters degree in Theology. She began her nanny career in 1992, working as a full time, part time, temporary and summer nanny over those years. As a nanny in the Cincinnati area Greta found that there was a need for the nannies in the area to feel connected and so she began CincyNanny, a website and blog giving the local nannies their own community and families resources they can use.

Greta's current position is as the full time nanny of triplet boys. Jessica Shelly said, "She makes it a priority to see that not just the boys are taken care of, but that our family unit is supported and encouraged." Their family has an inside joke - when a challenging situation arises they think WWGD? or What Would Greta Do?"

Being on the NOTY Committee this year was a great experience. It was nice to be able to give recognition to some pretty terrific women who are without question dedicated to providing exceptional childcare. While it wasn't an easy decision, I couldn't think of a better candidate to represent nannies and this industry than Greta - Congratulations to you!
