It’s Summertime, Make Certain the Children are Using Lots of Sunscreen

“Prep Your Children for a Move with These 17 Tips”

Moving is an exciting life event, but it can still be stressful – for you and your kids. Your children can feel especially scared and nervous about the changes that are approaching. Whether you’re just moving down the street or moving across the country from Greenwich, CT to Los Angeles, California, OR, leaving a house can feel like a loss to your children.

To help get you started, Wee Care Nanny, along with other experts in the field, shared some of our best tips and advice with Redfin on how to prepare your kids for moving and how to make the transition easier on them. Check out what we had to say!

 

Stay connected with your previous nanny

Families relocating often experience a “break up” with their current nanny when their caregiver is unable to move with the family. The ideal situation occurs when the nanny can travel with the family to their new home and continue working through the transition process. If that isn’t possible, explain to your children that their nanny can remain an important part of their lives. They can exchange birthday and holiday cards, and have Facetime dates or regular Zoom calls. If both parties work together, the relationship between nannies and their charges can truly last a lifetime. It’s not unusual for us to hear from nannies that are still in touch with the “children” they cared for 5, 10, or even 20 years ago. – Wee Care Nanny Agency

Bedford, NY Halloween Trick or Treat Event on Friday, October 30, 2020

Join Chowder & Marching for a drive thru Trick or Treat event on Friday, October 30th  from 6pm-8pm that will be full of glowing pumpkins, ghoulish decorations and Halloween treats! For $50 per family, you will receive a pumpkin that you can carve and have part of the Bedford Blaze display, dress up in costume and drive thru to receive bags of treats! Sign Up here to secure your spot as a limited number of cars are able to participate! All funds raised  go toward youth based programs – club and school sports, scouts, athletics, arts, youth outreach, scholarship and community service.

The Bedford Village Chowder & Marching Club was founded in 1956 with the mission to raise funds for local youth-related programs. 

 

Once registered for The Bedford Blaze, pumpkins can be picked up on October 25-29th to allow for plenty of carving time! We are encouraging all families to carve their pumpkin and drop it off at St. Patrick’s on October 30th between 2-4pm so that it can be displayed as part of the event.

Prizes will be awarded for the best pumpkins. After the event Friday, pumpkins will glow again on the Village Green Saturday night and if you would like to keep your pumpkin, you may pick it up from the Village Green Sunday by 5pm. The remaining pumpkins will be organically disposed of Sunday night.

During The Bedford Blaze, cars will drive through the circle at St. Patrick’s School  to see a display of glowing pumpkins, and at the end, every child will receive a nut-free bag of treats.
