2023 Valentine’s Party
Mark your calendars for Tuesday February 14, 2023 for this year’s Valentine’s Party!
We ask that you have your child “sign” the back of their cards they plan to exchange. this really works out well and decreases the amount of confusion for the children and the teachers.
Many parents ask us if they can bring treats during the party and the answer to this is “yes!” as long as it is “Prepackaged.”
As we get closer to Valentine’s Day, ask your teacher in your child’s room for the number of playmates they have in their room.
If you have any further questions you may either ask the lead teacher in your child’s room or you may come to the office and Vickie and/or Cindy will be glad to assist you!

Summer 2022
Summer is rapidly approaching and will be here before you know it! The Nannies are planning a fun and exciting summer in the sun! We would like to ask our parents to help us out with these summer plans. We have many field trips scheduled along with different arts and crafts planned. It would be very helpful if you read all correspondence that we have either handed out or posted at the main entrance. We do not want any child to miss out on the fun. However, due to staffing needs and the need to make certain reservations in advance, it is imperative that you read all instructions, follow those guidelines and sign your child up as soon as possible. For children ages four years of age and older, we will be using the Center’s vans.
Each van has been equipped with the appropriate safety standards. If you have concerns about this and you would rather your child NOT attend the out of Center field trips, this is also your option. Parents of children under the age of four will NOT attend out of Center field trips.

Beginning Monday May 24, 2021, the Center will open its doors to the parents and family members who have children within the center. We ask that you follow the guidelines we have mentioned here below. (Click on the links below for full details)

Thank you for choosing not just a nanny for our child, but for choosing a qualified person with experience in working in families! The nanny knows the approach to the child, knows how to captivate him, interest him, and we boldly leave our son with the nanny while we work.
The main thing is that my son liked the nanny. This is what they worried about the most. We recommend everyone to contact with questions on the selection of a nanny for your children!

I turned to the agency for a nanny for walks for a couple of hours for my daughter (1.6), because I wanted a reliable, proven person with experience in this field, so as not to worry again. Manager Valeria took care of all organizational issues, quickly selected candidates and scheduled an interview. All were satisfied.

I want to say a big thank you to “your nanny” for the clear, fast work! The children flew to the wedding from another city and we needed a nanny for 3 hours for a 1.
5-year-old baby. The issue had to be resolved 2 days before the event. Victoria very quickly picked up a nanny for us. Vasilyeva Olga, this is our nanny, instantly picked up the key to the child, the girl was constantly busy, did not act up and never even asked her parents! And it was her first experience with a nanny, with a stranger.
Parents had a great rest when they realized that the child was in good hands. A child will never trust a bad person!
Thank you very much Olya and the agency!

Hello The agency chose right away, many years of experience in the service market is a good and reliable recommendation. From the first contact, everything went perfectly. They took care of my problem and solved it promptly.
They were always in touch and showed flexibility. Victoria helped us in a difficult situation to find a nanny for three days for a child who is not even 2 years old. The goal was to find someone to look after the baby during the hectic wedding days.
We were looking for a live-in nanny. Everything turned out great. The nanny took care of the baby. I quickly made contact with him. Managed to switch the attention of the child, so that he was always busy and satisfied.

After the death of his wife, they were left alone with their son. It was difficult at home. I work hard, my son is a second grader without supervision. Friends advised me to hire a woman to cook, clean, help the guy with his homework. As a result, I called “Your Nanny”, at first just out of curiosity, to find out the prices.
Yana – the manager told everything in detail, accepted the application. The cost of services depends on the capabilities of the client, I liked it. Decided to try. Galina Ivanovna, our nanny has been working for a month, my son seems to like it, so far he is happy with everything. Now I can safely do business and see a fed, well-groomed child in the evening.

Nanny Natasha’s diary: Roma from Ufa
When we got used to the new place, I began to notice that Roma was changing for the worse. The most difficult thing was that he refused to eat and caused himself to vomit.
In the Nanny’s Diary series, there are notes by the nanny Natalya Takshina, who accompanies Roma, a ward of the Road of Life Foundation, in the hospital.
Already in infancy, Roma was diagnosed with an anomaly in the development of the kidneys. When Roma turned five, his mother was restricted in parental rights, and Roma and his sister Vasilisa were removed from the family and placed in the Sh. Khudaiberdin Family Education Assistance Center. After some time, the woman died, and the children were left orphans.
Meanwhile, Roma’s condition worsened. The boy was admitted to the hospital, where he was operated on. After the operation, the boy undergoes peritoneal dialysis four times a day. Roma has long been on the list of people awaiting a kidney transplant.
Our first week together in the hospital with Roma was very varied. We rubbed each other, studied each other’s habits, learned something new in each other, tried to understand if we could be friends.
Since there were no examinations yet, we played together, ate, watched cartoons, read books, cleaned the ward and, it seemed to me, found a common language.
We very often called each other by video call and talked with my children. Roma really liked these conversations, he generally likes the attention from the outside, that someone shows concern and asks how you are doing and what you do. Roman was happy and I was pleased that there was a little merit in this.
The second week was already more eventful! We moved to the kidney transplant department to be always under the supervision of doctors. New ward, new neighbors, new acquaintances. Daily analyzes and meetings with specialists added some variety to our measured life. Other mothers met us in the department very warmly, one might say, at home.
Romka always ran headlong along the corridor and kissed the hands of each mother and shouted: “I love you.” This made everyone laugh, but for me, as a mother and just an adult, it was a shock.
I tried to convey to Roma that this should not be done: also in terms of hygiene, because everyone’s hands are dirty, and it’s just ugly, but so far all my words have been empty.
Commentary by psychologist of the Maria Becker Foundation
“This behavior is typical for a child who stays in an orphanage for a long time. It demonstrates violations in the sphere of attachment formation.
In this case, Roman showed a manifestation of ambivalent attachment – indiscriminateness in an attempt to form at least some kind of relationship. Attachment can only be formed in the family. However, under the conditions provided by the Road of Life Foundation, when the nanny is with the child 24/7, it is possible to change the vector of the child’s development, including showing him socially acceptable forms of behavior.”
When we got used to the new place and made friends with my roommates, I began to notice that Roman was changing in a different direction, not the best. He became rude, stopped working.
And what was the most difficult for me, he refused to eat and caused himself a gag reflex.
So he simultaneously attracted the attention of a roommate and tried to show that I, the nanny, was nobody for him, but she, the roommate, was an authority. After all, she allows her child to do anything, and Roman was sure that he needed it that way, that it was so right. We lived in such tension for a little more than a week, there were tears, and resentment, and a misunderstanding of why and why the child responds so much to your love, attention and care for him.
At some point, I even wanted to pack my things and run home. But when the head cooled down, the realization came – and who, if not me, will help him? Who will explain to him how to behave? Who will help, who will prompt, who will hug and regret?
I realized that Roma and I couldn’t manage without help. Through the coordinator of the “Abandoned Children” program, I turned to the psychologist of the Maria Becker Foundation. At first, she simply listened to everything that hurt me, and then together we made a plan for further actions.
Psychologist’s commentary
“After Natalya answered all my clarifying questions, we determined that the only changed condition was living together with another child and his mother. Absolutely all of us wish the very best for ourselves. That’s how the psyche works. Children are no exception. Therefore, of course, Roma wanted a similar permissiveness, and given the frequently changing adults in his life, he instantly devalued all the existing relationships with Natalya.
We set ourselves two tasks:
- Establish the process of eating;
- Build an understanding for Roman who is “his” adult.
In the first case, we chose a clear algorithm of actions while eating. Natalya was supposed to set the table, invite Roma, wish him a good appetite and sit next to her, going about her business (eating together or reading a book next to each other) without words. Roman could sit for an hour. After the plate had to be removed. If Roman started to turn over the plate/glass, the nanny had to interrupt this action, pushing everything away without a word, and then move it back.
It was felt that Natalya was worried about this. As a mother, she wanted to feed the child in any way, and for health reasons, he needed to gain weight. But I hurried to reassure her: a child will not die of hunger, and only such clarity and consistency will give Roman the opportunity to understand the culture and routine of eating. Only in this way will he be able to understand who is the authority in their relationship, and that the nanny accepts his decision not to eat.
In the second case, Natalya and I discussed the topic of attachment and deprivation. With the emergence of an understanding of the ongoing processes in the soul of Roma, it became easier for her to build relationships with him, based on the principles of the three Ps – acceptance, constancy, consistency.
The third week of our stay in the hospital began with a clean slate. We followed the recommendations received and everything began to improve. We worked out together. Thanks to caring people, Roma got his own small children’s table for classes.
Since Roma is very behind in development, we began to study on our own and prepare for school. We learned to write letters, numbers, did tasks around the world around us, studied everything and with great interest.
Problems with meals receded. Our everyday life became so busy and interesting that by the evening we simply fell exhausted on the bed and imperceptibly fell into a dream.
Roma often felt sad about his brothers and sister who stayed in Ufa. It is impossible to watch how a child suffers and wanted every minute to be occupied with business, so that he would not fall into a blues, and just see another interesting and more eventful life.
In such an active rhythm of life, Roma sometimes uttered the phrase “I want to love you, nanny.” Why exactly the word “I want” and why me? Why “nanny” and not Natasha, because he calls everyone by name? I often had questions and again and again I turned to our psychologist, and she explained everything to me in great detail and intelligibly.
Psychologist’s commentary
In this case, the fact that Roman called Natalya “nanny” indicates that he distinguishes her from other adults and she becomes a significant adult for him.
Positive changes took place in our relationship with Roma, which also had a good effect on his behavior. Going out into the corridor, Roma no longer ran and kissed the hands of everyone he saw on his way, but simply walked beside me and gently held my hand, smiled sweetly and said “hello” to everyone.
Entering the dining room, he wished everyone a bon appetit, wished me a bon appetit, and I him, and ate calmly. He showed great interest in learning, drew very smoothly, without going beyond the contours of the drawing.
Life does not stand still. We rejoiced at our successes and moved on with the support of the foundation’s psychologist, who was in touch with us day and night.
Fourth week. New neighbors, new acquaintances. Roma really liked the boy Vanya. They quickly found a common language and interests.
After a consultation with a neuropathologist, we asked for a consultation with a psychologist and a speech pathologist. Our first meeting with the hospital psychologist for Roman was 50/50 emotionally.
The plus was that there were a lot of toys, and Roma wanted to take everything right away, and the minus was that the psychologist constantly asked Roman to pay attention to her and work with her.
When our lesson was coming to an end, Roma himself began to remove all the toys and books from the table to their places, which surprised the psychologist very much. She said that Roman was the first child who took it upon himself to clean up after himself. She watched for a very long time as he put everything in its place, very reverently and with caution, after which she asked: “Who taught you this?” Roma so calmly and naturally, and most importantly, without looking up from cleaning, said: “Yes, the nanny taught me, she said that you always need to clean up after yourself.” For me, it was both shock and joy. And the psychologist praised me as a nanny for putting something good into the child.
Classes with a psychologist are held every day, our classes with Roman bring, albeit small, but results.
It would seem that everything is fine with us: we are engaged in treatment, self-education, outdoor activities, but I began to catch sidelong glances of mothers in the corridor. They began to ask Roma why he doesn’t play in the corridor with other children?
I was openly ignored. And when I walked along the corridor, I always heard discussions after me, interrogation of my neighbors in the ward, “how is she, and what is she.”
On the first day, it hit me. I could not understand what I had done wrong and what I had done wrong to strangers. I addressed this question to the fund’s psychologist in order to understand how to get out of this situation correctly.
Psychologist’s commentary
“This situation is a fairly classic example in social psychology. When another object appears within a certain community, they begin to reject / suppress it so that it merges with the collective. This happened here too, despite Natalya’s “correct” behavior.
To my great regret, except to support our nanny with a word, I could do nothing more.
It was important for me to convey to her what a colossal contribution she makes to the development of Roman and his formation as a person. Indeed, for orphans and children left without parental care, the continuity of the rehabilitation process is extremely important, and he, this process, consists not only in medical manipulations and remedial classes, it is in everything.
Maria Becker said that the main thing is that I am, first of all, a nanny, not a mother. I have responsibilities, I have responsibilities.
Of course, the easiest way would be to send the child to the corridor and let him run around with other children. But there are many “buts” here: all children are of different ages and each has their own interests. Some play phone games, Roman tries to approach everyone, but interferes with everyone, for me, as a mother, this would be very unpleasant and insulting for the child. Other children just run along the corridor, they can accidentally knock down, injure both themselves and Roman.
In addition, Roma has a disease of the musculoskeletal system, and running and jumping are contraindicated for him.
Roma and I study, play, visit the children’s playroom in between examinations. He is happy, and for me this is the most important thing. I am a nanny and I have my own duties and responsibilities to this child. I don’t have to explain anything to anyone.
I am a nanny, and that says it all. And thanks to our psychologist for the detailed answer on this situation, which did not give the opportunity to feel guilty before someone.
So another positively active week flew by, we spent the weekend outside walking around the hospital, breathing in the fresh air and basking in the sun.
The fifth week, and again moving, a new ward, new acquaintances – with Ilyusha and his mother. Roman very quickly got used to the new company, began to make progress in mathematics, writes examples, counts. We read fairy tales and discuss, analyze illustrations for the book. Roma loves it. We are actively drawing, and it seems that Roma has the talent of an artist.
Now Roma sometimes even asks himself if it’s time for us to work out. He is already accustomed to an active lifestyle, and the main thing is that he likes it.
We continue examinations at the cardiologist, we are waiting for the operation and our long-awaited kidney. And in order for this miracle to happen faster, we decided to turn to God. In the literal sense of the word.
We went to the temple, which is located on the territory of the hospital, bought Roma a cross, an icon of St. Roman and Nicholas the Wonderworker, who will always help him and protect him.
We confessed, took communion, ordered a prayer service for health, lit candles for all the saints and asked for a new kidney for Roma. We believe and pray that God will hear our prayers. Roma liked the service very much, he asked to come here every Sunday.
This week we enrolled in a preparatory class at school. Now Roma, as a future student, will study with professional teachers, and what will come of it, we will definitely share with you.
Of course, there were also sad moments. The psychologist in the hospital fell ill. Roma was very upset, because in two weeks he had already got used to these activities. He asked to call her, but we found a better option, together we wrote her a message wishing her good health and a speedy recovery. This showed me that Roman is a very caring boy and knows how to empathize with others.
Examinations, ultrasound of the heart, a cardiologist, dialysis every evening, but we always find time and an opportunity to diversify it all.
The novel became dear and beloved in five weeks, and our feelings are mutual. The mothers in the department thawed out, began to show attention and care. Finally, I heard “good morning” from them. Normal communication began, and I’m still the same nanny who was with Roma a couple of weeks ago. What happened? What changed? Don’t know. Maybe people just realized that I am a nanny, and the child is happy next to me and feels good!
Five weeks flew by like one day. Roma has become a completely different boy, quiet, calm, polite, he already understands what is good and what is bad, what can and cannot be done.
