WHITE HOUSE PROCLAIMS NOVEMBER AS NATIONAL FAMILY CAREGIVERS MONTH
October 2008 — National Family Caregivers Month, 2008
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
During National Family Caregivers Month we recognize and celebrate the many individuals throughout our country who work each day to ensure a better quality of life for their family members. Through their selfless action, these caregivers provide their loved ones support and comfort as they age, combat illness, or suffer from disability.
Our Nation is compassionate, and we believe in the sanctity of life at all stages. Through tireless efforts and inspiring deeds, many Americans care for loved ones in need. By acting as in-home care providers, people across our Nation are helping to ensure that their family members are provided with love, comfort, and security. My Administration has worked to offer caregivers support and training. In 2006, I signed the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006, which established a program to help family caregivers get access to affordable and high-quality respite care. In addition, the National Family Caregiver Support Program encourages cooperation among government agencies and other organizations that support and work with family caregivers.
National Family Caregivers Month is an opportunity to recognize those who serve a cause greater than self and contribute to the well-being of their loved ones. Family caregivers are soldiers in America's armies of compassion and set an inspiring example for their fellow citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2008 as National Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to honor the selfless service of caregivers who support their loved ones in need.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
GEORGE W. BUSH
Message from Nannies Amore's President, regarding National Caregiver's Month:
Hello families and care providers,
In recognition of National caregiver's month, I would like to give a word of support to individuals caring for loved ones with disabilities, or dependent elders. Caring for these individuals can be very challenging and exhausting, and I praise you for doing what you do! Try to take some time for yourself this month, reach out and ask for help. Possibly connect with a care provider on our site for respite care. You deserve it!
Interesting facts:
Nearly one out of every four U.S. households is currently involved in care giving for a person 50 years or older
More than 40% of those caring for older adults are also raising children under the age of 18
The psychological health of the family caregiver is negatively affected by proviing care. Higher levels of stress anxiety, depression and other mental health effects are common among family members who care for an older relative or friend.
I encourage primary caregivers to reach out to their community, attend support groups, and take help when offered.
Sincerely,
Susan Cossick
President of Nannies Amore

Nannies Amore, Inc. Launches NanniesAmore.com, A Search Site for Domestic Service Providers.
Nannies Amore.com matches Nannies, Babysitters, Newborn Specialists, Pet Sitters, Tutors, Chefs, Senior Care Givers, Personal Assistants and House Keepers with Families
Fort Lauderdale, April 22, 2008 –
Nannies Amore.com is an outstanding babysitter, pet-sitter, senior care giver, maid service, personal assistant, tutor and chef online match-making site, dedicated to making the process of finding a care provider fast, safe and easy. With access to care providers nationwide, families can find a wealth of qualified caregivers in their area by using Nannies Amore’s screening process, which includes references, resume submission and background checks.
To answer this demand from both workers and employers, Nannies Amore, Inc announced today the launch of www.nanniesamore.com, a job search site focused on connecting experienced and professional care givers with potential families and vice versa. Care givers can sign up for free, create a profile and post a resume. Families in need of service can search for care providers by category and zip code. Once a member, they can email care givers, review resumes and request a free background check.
The site provides advice to nannies on how to conduct an interview of the potential client or family; advises
babysitters how to conduct themselves on the job and even describes the benefits of using a pet sitter.
According to The Institute for Women’s Policy Research, “A substantial portion of American working families rely on family care providers”. What happens when parents don't have other family members that can help care for their children? The matching site was born out the recognized need of its founder when she had her second child. This coupled with the increasing percentage of working parents, and the growing number of widowed, divorced and single mothers, the founder birthed Nannies Amore, Inc to cater not only to seekers but to providers. Baby boomers will also impact this evolving market of care seekers.
