What an extraordinary year that is coming to a close! I always look back at the year and remember where I was at the beginning I reflect on how I have grown, how I have changed and how much closer I am to getting what I want.

“Financial Tips for Being Able to Retire as a Nanny”
December 20, 2013 by Team Celebration
Working as a nanny isn’t like working in a traditional job. Instead of working for a company, nannies work for an individual as a household employee. The nature of the industry means that nannies change jobs more frequently than those in other careers and, consequently, they don’t have the same company sponsored options when it comes to saving for retirement. If a caregiver wants to make nannying her career, it’s essential that she put a smart financial plan in place that will allow her to … [Read more...]

If you know a girl or young woman - a daughter, niece, sister, cousin, friend, or neighbour - I have the perfect gift suggestion! Resilience Resilience is the ability to make lemonade when life hands you lemons, to get back up when you've been knocked down.

Gender and Corruption
December 8, 2013 by Team Celebration
Is corruption different for men and women? For decades, gender sensitivity has been part of project design in a range of international development and assistance programmes, including anti-corruption efforts.

And do we need women-specific anti-corruption projects? The UN Development Programme … [Read more...]
