National Nanny Recognition Week Northbrook, Illinois - In honor of National Nanny Recognition Week, First Class Care hosted an entertaining day-long event for Illinois nannies and their charges.

This year's National Nanny Recognition Week (NNRW) event was held at Nibbles Play Café in Wheeling, IL. Nannies and their charges were invited to come out to this free event to enjoy some fun while meeting with other nannies. Festivities included great food, arts and crafts activities, balloon animals, live music and more. The event was met with great success, and 15 lucky nannies in attendance walked away with raffle prizes in the form of gift cards to Starbucks, iTunes, Lena's Skin Care, Old Navy, Massage Envy and CPRclass.org to name a few.

The Chicagoland based domestic placement agency is known in the area for not only providing quality nannies to the community but also housekeepers, house managers, babysitters, personal chefs, and elder care companions.

"Giving back to the community is something we strive to do on a daily basis, but we figured National Nanny Recognition Week would be the best time to throw this event for all our hard-working nannies," said Erin Krex from First Class Care.

NNRW is a week during which families are encouraged to focus on the positive aspects of the care giving profession. First Class Care believes that while their nannies and caregivers are highly trained specialists, they also are very loving, and play a pivotal role in families by being able to positively influence children and parents.

Sponsors of the NNRW event included local business like Nibbles Play Café, Handpicked Pumpkin, Lena’s Skin Care, GTM, Massage Envy, Lindsey Markus, attorney with Chuhak & Tecson, P.C. and CPRclass.org.

National Nanny Recognition Week begins September 20th, and lasts till September 26th. NNRW is celebrated nationally by nannies, families, educators, and supporters of caregivers.
