The duties of parents (single or married) can be a bit much sometimes. It offers a bit of relief to know that our children will be in good hands, when we are off to work, running errands, having an evening or a night out, or even in an emergency situation. A weekly pay is to compensate for Nannies time, their effort, patience and loyalty to our children should not be and must not be overlooked. We must remember, nannies are help raising a whole new generation of children. I find it appropriate and decent to give a extra to a deserving nanny. We depend on them, they offer such a genuine service. I give compliments to Nannies for being Committed, Loyal, Helpful, Respectful, Responsible and Patient humanitarians.

We plan to go back to their town this summer to volunteer and spend time with them. We participate in many animal outreach opportunities around NYC. I want my daughter to love and respect everything around us, not just humans. We have our environment and the other animals in it that we need to co-exist with. Our children are our futures, and I hope that I raise a socially conscious and compassionate child!

We write letters, draw pictures, send photos, send gifts and enjoy receiving letters and updates too. We spend time discussing ways to help the children and their families and our hopes for them with our children. Seeing how other children live, and how our family can make a difference for them really seems to strike a cord with our children- they can connect with the kids and the idea of helping really well.

Two times a year they have a Mitzvah Day-all day there are volunteer activities all over the city that one can get involved in. We have been bringing our daughter since she was an infant. Now that she's 2 we pick activities she can be involved in. As she gets older we will probably find other volunteer activities that we can do as a family-like working at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving mornings.
