Nanny ABCs is coming to a Nannypalooza near you! I am so excited to be attending my first Nannypalooza. Yes, I am attending to learn. Yes, I am attending because a few of my nanny friends said it was the best time ever - who can't use the best time ever? But, I am mostly attending so I can meet you. Yes you. You probably don't think I'm talking specifically to you because we haven't met but, yeah, I am talking to you. But, maybe we have met online - over email (I love getting email). Maybe you bought my book ( I know for fact I've sent a few books to nannies attending - even those hosting the event). So, maybe we have met in someway or maybe we haven't but as my pal, she doesn't know where pals but I say we are,  Megan said, I have never met a stranger. So, if you're feeling weird introducing yourself - don't be. And, if we do know each other and I don't remember your name - I am really sorry. I am terrible with names and I will make it up to you, we can - yes we can - do a karaoke duet this weekend at my Girl Friday's event - but only if you know Opposites Attract by my girl Paula or Ride like the Wind, by my boy Christopher. And to those nanny friends of mine that I have met - I am really looking forward to seeing your lovely faces. Introducing Nanny ABCs' Newest program High Net Worth Nannies.

Early on in her career, Rachael Lubin got involved in the nanny community on a national scale. During her first year as a nanny she attended Nannypalooza, the International Nanny Association conference, iNNTD, and other local nanny events. These networking opportunities allowed Lubin to scale her career quickly. In late March of 2020, Rachael L. Lubin began seeing more and more people on her social media platforms lose their jobs, their incomes, and become fearful of their immediate financial futures. She decided that as long as she was still fully employed— and as long as the COVID-19 crisis kept so many people out of work— she would donate her Monday paycheck to those in need. Using the song "Today 4 U" from the Broadway musical Rent, she posted a video on social media asking for people to contact her if they had an urgent need for a small, one-time gift.  Then along with a handful of other industry leaders, the Nanny Relief Fund - the first and only Nanny nonprofit to give direct relief to nannies in need was created. To date, They've raised over $125,000 and we are currently fundraising in order to be able to open up another round of grant applications.IMPORTANT LINKSwww.nannyrelieffund.orginstagram.com/nannyrelieffundfacebook.com/nannyrelieffundhttps://www.charityfootprints.com/nrfwalkathonspring2022/Website:  www.nannyrelieffund.orgFind more at www.nannyabcs.com/blogNanny ABCs can help you when you're ready.Subscribe!

NannyCast 37: Get Sent to a Nanny Conference // download episode // subscribe to NannyCast // This episode is all about how to get your employers to pay your tuition to a nanny conference or class, even if, and especially if, you didn’t negotiate professional development into your compensation package when you were hired. We cover step by step why you would want to go and how to structure the conversation with your employers. And even how to tell if they’ve said, “Please, keep convincing me!” without using those words. Because they never use those words.Additional Show Notes:NannyCast 24: Nannypalooza 2012 Career Talk Podcast: Professional Development NannyCast 11: Let’s Talk About Money, Our Take The Practically Perfect Podcast Swept Together: Episode 47 | All About The Ask The Atlantic | Askers vs Guessers Door Closing Audio Transcript after the break.I’m Nanny Jen, and today we are talking about how to add a professional development budget to your compensation package, after you’ve already started the job. This episode was inspired by the upcoming annual interNational Nanny Training Day event where a multitude of same-day, single-day, local professional development opportunities will be simultaneously attended by nannies around the globe, but is by no means limited to just NNTD. This can also be used for larger, longer nanny conferences such as the International Nanny Association’s conference or NannyPalooza. As a quick aside, NannyPalooza got featured in its own episode, Episode 24, which can be accessed by going to nannycast dot com and clicking on the “episodes” tab in the navigation bar. It will also be linked in this episode’s show notes.Now, in order to be a fully comprehensive podcast episode, and to mirror the pitch you would make to your employers, we are going to start with WHY you would want to engage in ongoing professional development. And to help make that pitch is [Stephanie Dennis host intro]She runs a podcast called The Career Talk Podcast whose full episode on the topic of professional development is linked in the show notes. [career talk clip]That last take home was short, sweet, and to the point. It benefits employees and employers. Which leads us in to our next portion: How to have the conversation with your employer. Like we started here, you start with how this will benefit them. And let me repeat that for clarity. THEM. How this will benefit THEM. Go in to this with the understanding that people are inherently selfish so they want to hear about how spending the money to send you to professional development will benefit them.And Steph gave us a good list of five ways which essentially boil down to that you’ll be better at your job which directly benefits them as the people who receive the results of your labor. AND, and how they react to this point is telling of your job overall, it increases employee retention. Meaning you stay working for people who invest in you. In fact, when we called for your nanny confessions as part of our book giveaway contest, we got an excellent confession that discussed National Nanny Training Day admission fee. To protect the anonymity of the confessor, we’ve stripped away the identifying details and substituted a voice actor, but you can still hear her upset which the voice actor faithfully duplicated from the original audio clip we received.[family never paid]It isn’t hypothetical that we nannies will leave jobs over professional development being unsupported, here is one concrete example being bold enough to state it for the record. And by the way, as an aside, if you ever want to contribute thoughts to NannyCast and don’t want your name or your voice used, we have a wide variety of ways to protect you as we protected this nanny. Please do not hesitate to visit nannycast dot com and click on the “share with us” tab in the navigation bar.If you need to when discussing a budget for professional development with your employer, feel free to point them to this episode of NannyCast. It is episode thirty-seven. Perhaps they need to hear that it is more than just your opinion?But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s back up. Let’s talk about the ask. If you haven’t listened to NannyCast episode 11 called “Let’s Talk About Money”, go give that a listen. It covers all sorts of awkward money conversations from the initial setting up of your compensation package to raises, and adding a professional development budget mid-work certainly does qualify as a kind of raise. It is a good learn-it-today-use-it-tomorrow kind of professional development offered by the duo behind the Practically Perfect Podcast. (wistful) I do wish they’d release the whole of the audio from that webinar as one of their podcast episodes since it is otherwise lost to the universe.That said, it is very important to start with the realization that there are two approaches to making requests, which a periodical called the Atlantic summarized as Askers vs Guessers. Neither approach is wrong, but when an asker meets a guesser there can be some unintended fallout. And to address all of this, we are going to bring in a podcast that is the reality-tv of the podcasting world called Swept Together. As always, a link to their full episode can be found in the show notes.[Swept Together Clip 1]So the question is to you: Are you an asker or a guesser?[Swept Together Clip 2]Now if you are a pure asker, you are already finished with this podcast episode and asking your employer for professional development funds for the specific professional development opportunity you had in mind. And if you aren’t doing that, you should be. Bye pure askers, we’ll see you next episode.[door close sound]Okay, so all that we are left with is impure askers and guessers. And what I mean by this is that we are left with people who are aware of the dynamic imbalance between an employer and an employee and that in the specific world of nannying, an employer might be upset having to consider a surprise request by an employee for, say, professional development funds. This is where feelers come in.[Swept Together Clip 3]Now, obviously we aren’t trying to be romantically involved with our employers, but we can still use a version of this to our advantage. Surely you have a professional connection, fellow friend nanny, or can invent a fake nanny friend who is attending the professional development opportunity you are referring to. And surely this nanny you’ve invented has her employers covering their tuition. And surely you can mention this to your employers to gauge their reaction to it and hope that the idea percolates in their mind so that a week later the employers take the initiative of offering you the tuition money without realizing you’d sprinkled some idea seeds into their ears. Is this lying? Well, that entirely depends on how much you feel like the nannies you know through the internet are real or not, because in the major nanny collaboration networks, there is always at least one person who is going to the thing and whose employers are paying to send them there. So I’d say not a lie, because I find those nannies to be very real.But what if you are trying to navigate this difficult intersection of asker vs guesser and employer vs employee with someone who is tone deaf to the fact that they are an employer with the economic power as well as an asker who is somewhat unaware of emotional subtitles involved in requests?[Swept Together Clip 4]So if you know your boss is the oblivious one, you simply follow up and say, “Have you given any thought to whether or not it is within your budget to send me to Professional Development Opportunity I Mentioned Before?” You still aren’t asking to go, you are asking them to invite you to go. Very indirect, and not my usual style, but it isn’t a wrong style to have. My father used to say, “Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to,” and when it comes to an employee making a compensation request, I’d say it helps to be fairly certain of the answer before asking the direct ask.But what if your bosses are guessers themselves? And as an imperfect asker or a guesser yourself, you don’t want them to feel compelled to give you a thumbs up if that isn’t what is truly in their heart.[Swept Together Clip 5]And there it is folks! Know your boss’s request style. Know this about one another. At a time where nothing is on the line, if you don’t already know, figure out how each of you handle requests in the context of an employer/employee relationship. Like, now? Now is a good time. There isn’t anything pressing right now, right? So it would just be a fun little anecdote to pull up the article from The Atlantic and ask them which they are as concerns you. It will also help you to know whether when they ask you to do a favor outside of your normal nanny duties, is this something you can reject without consequence or is this an incognito order.[Swept Together Clip 6]A guesser requesting professional development tuition of another guesser can always help the employer guesser realize how this is a win-win by listing some of those employer benefits from The Career Talk Podcast, providing a link to this podcast, or contacting their professional development opportunity’s organizer for any resources, handouts, or flyers they might have that makes the sell directly to employers. I’ve yet to see a nanny professional development opportunity where those resources weren’t available, but I’ve seen PLENTY of nanny professional development opportunities where those resources weren’t publicized.Now let’s talk about what isn’t a no. Unlike a lot of other situations where anything but a yes is a no, when it comes to making a request of an employer for professional development funds, a yes is a yes, a no is a no, and anything else is a “convince me”. It can be hard to see that, though.[Swept Together Clip 7]Oh to have an employer who is self-aware enough to communicate that this significant decision might require some think time. And if you have an employer that self aware, treasure them. For the rest of us, we have to remind ourselves that what is being communicated is simply that this is a significant decision requiring think time, NOT that this is a no.And in closing, we’ll hand you one more strategy. Don’t ask. Tell.[Swept Together Clip 8]So in conclusion: Professional development is good for the employee, it is good for the employer, we can number the reasons and list them off, it is important to be aware of your request style as an employee and your employer’s request style as an employer, and it is good to use strategies that navigate that unique mix of styles. Or just tell them that they are covering your tuition.See you at interNational Nanny Training Day!

In this episode, Shenandoah chats with Sue Downey, founder of Nannypalooza and professional nanny. Piggybacking off previous episodes discussing discrimination and inappropriate interview questions, Sue discusses her experiences and advice for nannies in terms of finding positions they will feel comfortable in, due to the specialized and deeply personal nature of nanny-family relationships. She also provides Shenandoah with some constructive criticism about the Adventure Nannies On Air theme song and discusses her family's pet fish.

Sergio & Lisa welcome (Nanny) Sue to talk about all the things in our boxes!   Check out the Practically Perfect Podcast and NannyPalooza!

Children often spend their days being told exactly what to do and when to do it. If you truly put yourself in the shoes of a child and think through their day, it becomes clear that they are often not given the opportunity to make choices which leads to self doubt within the child and power struggles between you and the child. In this episode, recorded LIVE at Nannypalooza, Cady Leinicke and I discuss ways to hold space for your nanny kids to make decisions throughout their day! There are also some of the sweetest stories from fellow nannies. This episode was a joy to record. Thank you, Sue Downey, for this amazing opportunity!

We need to have an honest conversation with ourselves and our moral conscience to find out what stories we have in our psyche that starts with secondly. We need to have our own thirst for truth and stop drinking from the cups of intolerant people.
