 CATCH
THE "WAIVE!"
Okay, it's a bit
of a play on words, but it works for us! Many of our clients have
asked if we were going to offer our annual waiver on application fees, so
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND is the SUMMER WAIVE! During the month
of JUNE you may interview nannies
or household help and pay no application fee. We pick up the
$250 and you get the help you need. Referral fee is paid only if
you hire. 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.

Dining with Kids
Wolfgang
Puck, Spago
Beverly Hills "When I go with my young children
to a restaurant, I generally go to one where I am well known, and I'll
call them in advance to have something ready as soon as we sit down, like
a pasta or a risotto or maybe some chicken skewers, so that way the kids
won't fill up on bread."
Alexandra
Guarnaschelli, Butter
"Timing your visit so that your child is hungry (but not starving!)
when you arrive at a restaurant makes for an easier dining experience.
Though toys and games are helpful, some good old-fashioned eating also
helps to pass the time for your children."
Terrance
Brennan, Artisanal
"My number one piece of advice would be to teach your children
manners." Modeling good dining behavior is also helpful. He says,
"Lead by example. Parents should show respect to waitstaff and other
members of the service team, so children can see how to handle themselves
in a restaurant."
Barbara
Lynch, Menton
"Take them out! The sooner they are taught table manners and
included in dinners out, the sooner they will behave and maybe even
become more adventurous eaters."
Charlie
Palmer, Aureole
"Remember to take something with you to entertain the kids. A fun
activity between courses or after you order can really improve the
overall experience. When my family dines out, we sometimes take 'table
topics' with us, and then we each go around the table with trivia card.
It takes up the time between courses and everyone is entertained."

the full stories at OPEN TABLE, and share your advice
for making dining out with children fun for everyone.

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  their 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.

Bellefontaine, Ohio. She has lived in the Atlanta area for 30 years.
Jennifer and her husband Don have two grown sons, two grandsons,  (Zachary,

to the birth of a new granddaughter this summer! When Jennifer is not
working (which is a rare occasion) she enjoys being on the golf course

full-time job in itself.)
