This was my first INA Conference and I really enjoyed myself. The workshops were helpful and everyone was welcoming. I was also able to meet new people who are as passionate about taking care of kids as I am. I learned a lot about what it takes to be a nanny and how important our job really is. I look forward to the next INA Conference in 2006. --Jessica Russo

I am a new INA member and a first time INA Conference Attendee. The INA Conference was a wonderful event! I learned a lot about the nanny industry and met many helpful and kind people. Thank you to the organizers and the speakers for donating their time, expertise and knowledge. -- Aloha, Rebekah Morrow

This was my first year attending the INA Conference, and I very much enjoyed the event. Two-years-ago I purchased a 10-year-old placement agency. Even though the business is well established and respected in our community, and I am not completely new to this industry, I still learned so much by attending the INA Conference. Everything I gained at the conference holds great value. From the networking opportunities, to the seminars, to the friendships established with colleagues, this conference provides a top notch experience for anyone in the industry. Thanks so much! --Whitley Adkins Private Placements, Inc.

Michelle’s
Surprise Letter

Michelle LaRowe, 2004 Nanny of the Year, was surprised and moved when INA President, Pat Cascio, read a letter of accommodation sent to her from President George W. Bush. The letter follows:

The White House

April 1, 2005

I send greetings to those celebrating the 20th anniversary of the International Nanny Association. Congratulations to
Michelle LaRowe on being named the 2004 Nanny of the Year.
Children are a precious gift and a source of great hope for our country. We must nurture their personal development
and provide a safe and supportive environment where they can learn and grow. The love and support of nannies strengthen families and help raise healthy, responsible children.
I appreciate the compassion and generosity of nannies and all those committed to improving the lives of our children. Your efforts contribute to a brighter future. Laura and I send our best wishes.

George W. Bush (signature)
