Summary:
A bit about us:
We’re an open-minded, considerate, and friendly family of 4 who values connection, kindness, and letting kids be kids. We love camping, being active, trying new restaurants, and having outdoor adventures! I work from home while my husband works outside the home. We also have a medium-sized, energetic Border Collie mix, so being dog-friendly is important!
Our 3 and 1/2-year-old son is social and energetic! The care is primarily for him. He can be a threenager sometimes, but overall he’s very sweet. He would love a nanny who is ready to play and can be goofy and imaginative. He loves his baby sister, dancing, playing hide and seek, cars, and Magnatiles! He doesn’t nap, so we don’t expect a lot of household tasks or cleaning; our kids are the priority.
Our 8-month-old baby girl likes watching her brother, crawling, standing and cruising. She always wants to be where the people are, and she's determined to get there! I can often watch her when I’m working at home, but would love a nanny who is comfortable watching both sometimes.
