In 2009 Audrey Guth, a mother in the midst of her own cancer journey realized the burden that many parents with cancer face, juggling being a parent and patient. After meeting a mother with cancer and her child in a waiting room, she identified a gap in cancer care and knew she had to do something to help.

Guth founded the Nanny Angel Network (NAN) giving respite to moms with cancer. Since then she has made it her mission to innovate and lessen the social and emotional impact of cancer on families by providing free support to mothers, fathers, and primary caregivers with cancer.

NAN has evolved to Nankind, providing critical intervention to children experiencing the trauma of parental cancer. One family at a time, Nankind has built a community of volunteer angels, referral partners, and sponsors that together provide free supportive cancer care to families.

To date, Nankind has supported 1,750+ families, provided 35,000+ meals, and empowered 3,200+ children to build emotional resilience.

The Nanny Angel Network is a registered charity and the only organization of its kind in Canada. We have been providing free, specialized childcare support and programs to families living with cancer since 2009.

Three main goals that drive everything we do:
<ol>
<li>Provide specialized, Child Life-informed childcare support and programs for parents with cancer to give them the time they need to take care of themselves and reduce existing social support burn-out.</li>
<li>Build resiliency in children by teaching life-long coping skills.</li>
<li>Provide a sense of normalcy for children during a tumultuous time in their lives.</li>
</ol>
Backed by 30 years of nanny agency experience, NAN has continued to successfully provide free resources for cancer patients and their families for over a decade.

We support families at any point during the cancer journey. We’re there from the time of diagnosis, during treatment or through palliative care. We continue to support families who need help for up to a year during the bereavement period.
