As more educators leave their schools or childcare centers because of COVID concerns and shutdowns, many are choosing to be nannies. Rebecca Dyk, owner of A Nanny For U, says the nanny pool is more educated than ever, and many are now getting hired by families to run pandemic pods for their neighborhoods.
Please join us in sending the warmest, most sincere congratulations to Hayley, our longtime team member, and cherished friend, on her recent wedding! 💐💒
Seeing her step into this beautiful new chapter is truly a joy for all of us at A Nanny For U.
We’re so happy for you, Hayley, and we wish you and Robby a lifetime filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable adventures. 🥂💛
