Professional Nanny award spurs new calls for nanny register

The Professional Nanny of the Year award has been won by Katy Fitzjohn, 27, from St Albans in Hertfordshire.

Katy, who works in a nanny share for three families, was presented with her award during the Professional Nanny Conference at Chiltern College in Reading last weekend.

She beat three other finalists to the title - Jaime Frow, 32, from Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, Andrea Hart, 23 from Edinburgh. and Kris Pohl, 48, from London - the first-ever male finalist for the award.

Tricia Pritchard, senior professional officer (childcare) at the education and childcare union Voice, said, 'This award is designed to showcase the valuable and important role played by nannies - a role that people often don't appreciate. All the finalists demonstrated their excellence as nannies. I congratulate the winner and runners-up on their awards, which they richly deserve.'
