$250 APPLICATION FEE REIMBURSEMENT

 

 

If you missed last month's waiver of the $250 application fee, well here's the next best thing:  If you hire a NannyQuest candidate between now and August 31st, we will subtract your $250 application fee from the final amount billed for your nanny, housekeeper, butler, chef, personal assistant, or any other NannyQuest hiree.  Not only are you able to interview the best nannies or household help available, but you save money.  If you are thinking about a future search for household help, now is the time to start, and save $250 at the same time!

 

NannyQuest has had the corner on the "College-Educated Nanny" market for years. We also refer housekeepers, personal assistants, personal chefs, elder-caregivers, and anything else for the home. No matter what you need, we can help you by finding the right PEOPLE to make your life easier.  When you have the right help, it frees you to get more done, and do it more efficiently, giving you more time for what is really important.....family.  "If we don't have it, we'll find it" has worked well for us AND for our clients! 

 

As always, if you are not in need of household help at this time, please forward this email to associates and friends who are looking for college-educated nannies, experienced housekeepers, personal assistants, baby specialists, eldercare, or any other type of household help.

*M & T ~ One of our favorite teams.  As a husband and wife team, they can do a day's job in half the time.  He does the bathrooms and kitchens, and our clients tell us the bathrooms are spotless!  She does everything else. They have been hired by a NannyQuest family and have one day per week available to come to your house and put it in tip-top shape!  They can also be hired to stop in throughout the week and "tidy up."  Excellent references.

*Elise ~ Detailed housekeeper, house manager, and jack-of-all-trades.  Elise has four days available.  Excellent reference from a long term NannyQuest family.  She comes in with a great attitude and will get the job done quickly and well.  Child and pet friendly.

 

*Eldercare ~ We have several candidates who have experience with eldercare.  Consider this as an alternative to moving out of one's familiar home setting.    

 

 

 

Has Your Nanny Taken the Pledge?

 

 

We hear far too much about the dangers of texting and driving.  "It only takes a few seconds to answer this message" turns into, "I didn't see that car!"  Imagine your child at the park.  The nanny receives a text message, glances down for what seems like two seconds, looks back up and the child is hurt...or missing.  Have your nanny take the pledge.

COOKING WITH KIDS

  Jello smilesLooking for a refreshing snack to make with the kids? Try these cantaloupe and Jello 'Smiles' using the following: 

 

One 3 ½ lb cantaloupe

¾ cup of boiling water

Fruit of your choice, cubed

One 4-serving package of Jello and ½ cup cold water

 

Cut cantaloupe in half and scoop out all the seeds and some of the melon, leaving about one inch of melon.

Mix one 4-serving package of Jello with ¾ cup of boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes, until completely dissolved.

 

Stir in ½ cup of cold water, add cut-up fruit, and then pour into melon halves.

 
Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

 

Cut melon into wedges to serve.

 

SMILE!

Elizabeth Walsh is the founder and president of NannyQuest, Inc. Elizabeth grew up in Kingsport, Tennessee. She attended Emory & Henry College in Virginia; graduating Cum Laude with a major in English and a minor in Education. After teaching kindergarten, she directed an Atlanta private preschool for 10 years, interviewing and hiring teachers, managing curriculum, and assuring that all children were nurtured in mind, body and spirit. Beth says, "In this position, I met many nannies who were employed by the families of Atlanta. Some were outstanding, others were not. I decided to provide parents with a source for educated nannies...candidates who would provide a good role model for children with their speech patterns, values, and lifestyles. Also, as a mother of five, I am concerned about the quality of childcare available. I know what I am looking for and I am very selective."

It was an idea whose time had come. NannyQuest quickly became the leading nanny referral agency in Atlanta. The NannyQuest reputation has been spread by satisfied clients to most of the larger cities in the United States.

When they are not working, Beth and her husband Neil spend as much time as possible in Rileytheir log home in the North Georgia mountains, where they enjoy fly-fishing, perennial gardening, and being the empty-nester parents of 5 children (ages 33 to 23) and grandparents of McClain (age 5.) Riley the golden doodle enjoys their full attention.
