Company can get you a nanny

The Sudbury Star, Friday, December 20, 2006

A Barrie-based national nanny agency has expanded its reach to Greater Sudbury.

Family Care Connection Nanny Agency, which is owned and operated by Susan Racco-Brewin (a mother and entrepreneur), can be called upon locally by way of Barbara Polowich, the company's new Sudbury representative.

Family Care Connection Nanny Agency is a referral service that sends pre-screened, police check-verified individuals to a home, either on full-time, part-time or occasional basis.

Established in 2004, it operates in 33 Canadian cities and towns and offers child-care providers, live-out and live-in nannies, mother's helpers, babysitters and elderly care.

A parent can request any schedule and an early childhood educator or equivalent will look after children, feed them and bring crafts and activities. The child or children get to stick to their routines and continue a schedule in a familiar environment.

Polowich and Racco-Brewin were both unavailable for comment Tuesday. In a news release, Racco-Brewin said being able to line-up a child-care provider in a pinch is priceless.

"You cannot put a price tag on this kind of peace of mind," she said.

Polowich can be reached at 521-6782.
