The INA Service Award Pin is presented to nanny educators, referral agency owners (or their staff), and business owners (or their staff) who serve the in-home child care industry. The Service Award Pin program originated within the National Association of Nannies in 1995. Thanks to the dedication and generosity of past NAN members, the Service Award Pin concept will continue on within INA and will share the same goal of recognizing those within the in-home child care industry for their hard work, dedication and commitment to professional excellence.

TLC in St. Louis was one of the first nanny and child care agencies in the United States and introduced one the first emergency and back-up care systems in the US. Today TLC brings high quality service to St. Louis, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Palm Beach, and Atlanta families and serves as a national model and consultant to agencies throughout North America. Sharon has been involved in the nanny industry since 1985 and has helped agencies in markets across the county to better understand and service their clientele through numerous workshops and private consultations. She also served on the board of the International Nanny Association for 16 years working to establish professional industry standards for agencies and nannies.

Congratulations Sharon on this honor.Ìý
