Household dynamic:

• This kind and caring McLean-based family is excited to welcome their newborn twins this winter, joining their four wonderful and conscientious kids! The family leads a busy life filled with varying school schedules and after-school activities, and is seeking a newborn care specialist who can provide focused, nurturing care for their newborn twins. They also have older children, ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old, who all love being outside and exploring, reading books, and doing arts and crafts. Their 8-year-old and 7-year-old attend private school, while their 4-year-old attends preschool. This year, their 2-year-old will begin preschool, attending three mornings a week. Each day looks a little different in this vibrant home, and they hope to maintain consistent expectations and routines to keep them grounded as their schedules change.
• Both parents are regularly in and out of the home, with Mom currently staying at home and actively involved in the children’s lives and household routines. The family values quality time and loves spending time with their local extended family and traveling to their family home on the Eastern Shore during weekends, breaks, and holidays. They highly value family time and are hoping for a new addition to their household who will help them maximize quality time together. With many moving pieces, they employ a full-time housekeeper and a full-time nanny.
