Webinar Description: It is part of the job and you know that it will happen at some point. Nannies leave. It may be that it is your choice or perhaps you are let go, either way it is heart wrenching and messy and difficult in a myriad of ways. In this webinar we will discuss leaving your work family. We will identify signs it may be time to move on, how to handle it when you are let go, the stages of grief that you and the kids and the parents will experience and ideas of how to stay in touch when appropriate.

Speaker: Sue Downey is a nanny and has been since she accidentally found the profession 27 years ago. She started as a live out nanny for 4 boys in Cincinnati, Ohio and then moved on to the Philadelphia area as a live in nanny. She has stayed in the suburbs of Philly ever since. She has worked with many kinds of families and all ages of children from birth thru teens. To increase the opportunities for professional development, Sue was the co-founder of Nannypalooza, a conference for nannies. Nannypalooza is now celebrating 17 years of building community and providing education to nannies across the globe. Along with her business partner Kellie Geres, Sue developed Our Nanny Diary, journals and paperwork to increase communication between nannies and families. She has led workshops at the International Nanny Association conference, National Education for Young Children conference, Nannypalooza as well as local and regional gatherings. Sue’s full time job is caring for a family just outside Philadelphia, where she spends her days trying to not step on legos, playing dragons, and reading the same book over and over and over again and loving every minute of it all!
