Spanish term

vestirla y arroparla

Spanish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Childrenswear
okay guys....content from a childrenswear website...here's the context:
"La infancia es auténtica magia, el mayor regalo que la vida nos ofrece;
vestirla y arroparla, para nosotros es un verdadero privilegio."

Okay...the first part is easy: "Childhood is truly magical, the greatest gift that life has to offer;
......................" That's when I get stuck because if I say "Dressing/clothing childhood is a true privilege" just does not sound good.

Any help appreciated!

We feel privileged to be in the business of children's clothing

Welcome back, Amanda, and Happy New Year!.

Here are 3 possible options that I would consider:
1) We feel privileged to be in the business of children's clothing.
2) We feel privileged to help parents keep their little bundles of joy warm and cozy
3) We feel privilieged to provide clothing for the little ones.

agree Lucy Phillips : I would say something slightly different like "and, for us, dressing children is a true/real privilege". I wouldn't use the semicolon, I don't think
