His younger brother is a happy, curious, smiley little one who enjoys people watching. Currently, their older child attends preschool, and the youngest will begin daycare in September. The family is excited to work with someone who can play an important role in daily engagement and supporting their children’s daily routines, developmental milestones, learning opportunities, and active exploration.

They would love a dependable caregiver who can step in as a true partner, providing attentive, consistent childcare and offering household support as needed. The family travels less than two weeks each year during school breaks, including a potential future trip to London, and would appreciate a nanny/family assistant who is open to traveling with them as needed. Additional household staff includes a biweekly housekeeper and a babysitter on most Sundays.

Since the children are in a bubbly and energetic stage, the family would love someone who balances a calm presence with a playful and engaging approach to childcare.
