It's been a tough year for the nanny industry. Business is down and no one knows when things will turn around. But in these days of uncertainty, there's one thing you can count on. Nannypalooza will once again offer top training at a crazy low price. The buzz has started, nannies and business owners across the country are making travel plans, and NANC is bucking the downsizing trend by ADDING features to our 2009 conference. This year it's all about red, white and YOU!
