The Nanny Angel Network is a not-for-profit organization that provides free childcare for parents experiencing cancer.  We believe that no mother should have to choose between their own health and care for their children.  We also believe that no child should have to endure a parent’s illness or death due to cancer without support.  Our mission is to lessen the impact of cancer on families through a network of specially trained volunteer Nanny Angels.

If you are looking for a change from the corporate world and would like to join an organization that truly makes a difference in the world, this is an opportunity you should consider.
