A Tribute to Harriette Grant
My friend Harriette Grant was a Professional Nanny for 40 years. I only knew her for 14 of those years
but in that time she became very dear to me. Her day was not complete without her morning tea and her
afternoon tea and her tea before bed. She also collected teapots.
She and I started an organization for Professional Nannies called the National Association of Nannies.
In November of 2000 she was diagnosed with Leukemia.
She passed away in June of 2001 and we wanted to find a way to honor her memory.
Every year at our annual conference we have different table decorations that we give away for doorprizes.
To honor and preserve the memory of our dear friend Harriette, we use beautiful teapots and tea cups
and old linens in the center of each table, then we have a special drawing where we give them away
as door prizes.
The women attending the conference love it and we have a way of always keeping that memory of Harriette with us each year.
