Nanny's Place Board consists of three Doctors, a realtor, retired aviation professional, sales professional and a missionary. We are all devoted individuals trying to assist thousands of children in California. My husband and I have tried to support this organization on our own for two years. Likely the time will come when that is no longer a possibility. Sadly, we are not famous and a donor won't get "atta boys" for assisting us. The children will reap the benefits. Look at our web site to review our organization. www.nanny-s-place.org. Thanks for your time and interest. You can assist us very easily by ordering from Amazon under Amazon Smile and designating Nanny's Place as your charity of choice. It doesn't cost you a cent and 0.5% go to Nanny's Place.

NANNY'S PLACE in Redondo Beach offers a wide range of services for your health and wellbeing.

Again no improvement in services in sight..

Homeless children are often invisible, crashing with their families on friends’ couches, sleeping in all-night diners or hopping from motel to motel. Their plight is complicated by the fact that there is no one federal definition for child homelessness.

2017 not likely to improve these numbers. There is a deep need for more help and housing for these kids!

In just one day in 2015, over 31,500 adults and children fleeing domestic violence found refuge in a domestic violence emergency shelter or transitional housing program.
