Jan. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Dobbs Ferry, New York (January 15, 2010)- Each year Family Helpers, a Dobbs Ferry licensed and bonded full service domestic placement agency, honors a household employee that has been placed through the agency with the  “Family Helper of the Year Award”.

This year’s award recipient is Kasandra Swankie, a resident of Buchanan, New York and a professional nanny and graduate student who is pursuing a Master’s Degree in Special Education.  Susan Tokayer, MSW and president of Family Helpers says that Kasandra is the perfect person to receive this year’s award. “Kasandra exemplifies what a professional nanny is. Her love of children and dedication to her work is clearly evident. She understands the special role that she plays in the family she works for and she truly knows what it means to be a Family Helper.”

Kasandra’s employer, Amy Leavitt, a literary agent and mother of two, couldn’t agree more. “Casey arrives each day like an orb of sunshine!  She has boundless energy and a beaming smile.  She invents games for the children, creates original art projects and cooks with them. She is a ‘no excuses’ person who excels at every aspect of her job.”  
For the past 10 years, Family Helpers has annually recognized one family helper for her dedication, loyalty and commitment to professional excellence. Each December, Family Helpers puts out a call for award nominations and is always surprised at the number of heartfelt nominations they receive. “It’s so wonderful that parents stop and take a moment to recognize their employees for the hard work they do. It’s touching to read so many letters that share the ways in which family employees have truly gone above and beyond their call of duty” says Tokayer.

Kasandra will receive the 2010 “Family Helper of the Year Award” at the Family Helper’s Annual Holiday Party that will be held Friday, January 15, 2010, 6:30 PM at Patisserie de la Fleur, 63 Main Street, Dobby Ferry.  In addition to her award, she will receive a $200 American Express Gift Cheque and a one year membership to the International Nanny Association.
