Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's and grandpa's in the world today!

One of our VIP mom's said, "Our legacy to our kids will be our "presence" NOT "presents"! Let's enjoy the pampering but understand and be reminded of the impact..."

I am blessed and honored to say I have the BEST father EVER! When I was little my dad was my soccer coach, as I got older he became my basketball coach and took me to my first Laker game. :) When I reached high school my dad was the #1 Team Parent, taking the team to out of town tournaments, coordinating fundraisers, and attending every game possible. In college my dad was extremely supportive and always available to talk when I called home. In my adult years my dad has been extremely supportive of my marriage, my career choices, and the decision to own and operate VIP Nannies Inc., Household Staffing! My dad has always been a part of my life and I attribute who I am today by the PRESENCE of my dad in my life. Enough bragging! I Love you dad and wish you a very, very Happy Father's Day!!

Sunscreen 101: Tips from the Experts

Sunscreen 101:

• If using a sunscreen lotion, use 1 full oz (a whole shot glass!). If you use only 1/2 that, you take your SPF down by 75%. Yikes.

• Did you know physical sunscreen is best? Physical = zinc oxide & titanium dioxide & is best for sensitive skin & young infants. Forms a monolayer on the surface of the skin & deflects the UV rays immediately upon application. Less potential for irritation & b/c it's active immediately, there's no window of opportunity for UV damage to occur while waiting for it to ramp up

• VIP nannies favorite sunscreen for babies, children, and adults too can be found at www.mdmoms.com

• Have fun in the sun…and remember your ABCs:

  A = Away. Stay away from the sun in the middle of the day.

  B = Block. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen.

  C = Cover up. Use a T-shirt and hat, and look for SPF-infused clothing

  S = Speak Out. Talk to family and friends about sun protection.

International Nanny Association Conference

VIP Nannies & Household Staffing had a blast at the International Nanny Association (INA) conference this past weekend in San Francisco, CA. It was fun to reunite with old friends and meet new ones. The INA conference is for nanny agency owners AND nannies. If you have not attended a conference I highly suggest going next year in 2011!
