Service of hope

Nanny Paula Jackson would like to invite people to a special service of thanksgiving and hope this month for anyone whose life has been touched by meningitis, whether as a carer, patient, parent, relative or friend. Paula looked after a child who contracted meningitis and fortunately survived, but the experience left Paula traumatised and depressed - not least because of an attitude expressed by some other people that she shouldn't care so much about a child not her own. 'Childcarers need to grieve and come to terms with experiences too,' she says. 'The idea behind this service is to bring together in a positive way people from all angles who have been affected by meningitis, rather than a remembrance service.' The service, 'Hope', will be held at 2pm on Saturday 31 March at Christchurch, Waterden Road, Guildford, Surrey, and will feature solo and choir singing and a candle-lighting ceremony. For more details contact Paula on 01483 577 232.

The cover of the newly-published The Nanny Handbook: How to find and keep the best nannies and au pairs shows a child's drawing of a female figure with a big pink heart on her chest. This perhaps illustrates what author Karen House says is its attempt to include the perspectives of nannies, employers and children alike - a fresh approach in the nanny guidebook market. Karen and her co-author Louise Sheppard both work in human resources and personnel businesses, as well as having employed their share of nannies, so they have plenty of professional experience of interviewing job candidates and giving employment advice. When told that nannies found some guidebooks 'out of date', she agreed, and said that when she and Louise decided to write their book, this was one of the things that motivated them.
