Real Life Super Nanny to be Honored with International Award

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 1, 2009 - The International Nanny Association (INA) will reveal the 2009 INA Nanny of The Year (NOTY) award recipient at its annual conference to be held in Dallas, Texas, April 23-26. “The NOTY award recipient is the perfect picture of an exemplary nanny, not only in her work, but also in her professional conduct. In addition to being the best of the best in her profession, she is of legal working status and adheres to all required state and federal tax laws; a hot topic not only in the political arena this year, but also in the media,” said Wendy Sachs, Co-President of INA.

As is tradition, this prestigious award will be presented by the previous year’s award recipient, 2008 NOTY Donna Robinson, a renowned traveling nanny and a genuine advocate for children. In her role, she promotes quality child care to increase awareness about the industry. As a representative of the nanny profession, the 2009 NOTY will be available for media interviews and appearances, in addition to booking speaking engagements. Her child care philosophy can be found in INAVision, the association newsletter. 2004 INA NOTY Michelle LaRowe became affectionately known as America’s Nanny and went on to pen four parenting books. Appearing on national and international television, she helped enlighten the public about the professional nanny. She has also consulted with celebrity nanny, Nanny Stella from Nanny 911, who also endorsed her third book, Working Mom’s 411 (Regal, 2009).

In addition to the 2009 NOTY Luncheon, where the award recipient will be announced, the 24th annual INA conference is set to include 3 days of information-packed workshops for all those involved in the in-home child care industry. Attended by nannies, governesses, newborn care specialists, traveling nannies, nanny agency owners and their staff, as well as industry service providers from all over the world, workshops will be presented by nationally known experts and are designed to provide in-depth training for participants.  This year’s conference will include such noted speakers as:
