  A bit about us:
  
  We are a down-to-earth, nature-loving family of 4 who values education, communication, and spending time outdoors.

Our home includes two, friendly dogs who can get a little barky at times.
  
  Our 4-month-old baby girl will be your primary focus. She’s a chatty one and is drawn to playful people. She really enjoys music! We would love a nanny who will listen to simple songs with her, sing, and read books to her.
  
  Our 7-year-old son, who is a social butterfly, will usually not be your responsibility. He’s at school and then at after-school care. He loves Pokémon, soccer, playing outside, hanging out with friends, and audiobooks!

  You are kind, patient, and experienced with infants, including feeding schedules, age-appropriate play, safety, and gentle sleep training support.
