Household dynamic:

• This is an organized, close-knit family of four who love to stay active. With two daughters, aged 1 and 2, their house is full of life, laughter, and a bit of beautiful chaos. Their 2-year-old loves having books read to her and imaginative play, while their younger child is crawling and happily exploring her world. They are healthy and developing and are on a gluten-free diet by the family’s choice. Both of their children attend the same daycare program during the day. They are looking for someone who can expertly juggle two active toddlers while nurturing their individual personalities. The girls are home from school on random days off within the program, holidays, sick days, etc. On days they are away, the nanny/family assistant will be responsible for maintaining an organized home. Currently, the family is living in White Plains, but they are in the process of building their “forever home” in Greenwich, Connecticut. The family also has a super goofy and friendly dog whose favorite thing in the world is hiking!
• Both parents are hard-working, busy professionals and highly value reliability and honest communication. They are very involved, loving, and hands-on with their children, while also respecting and trusting professional caregivers. This is a dynamic, social household that delights in having close friends and spending time with its extended circle. The family is also avid travelers and loves to explore new places, often warm destinations like Mexico or St. Barts. Every month or two, they take a week-long trip; some trips are for leisure, and some are professional. During their trips, the family likes to include their children and the nanny in daytime activities. They are looking for someone adventurous who is excited to pack a bag and join them on family trips. While their household is not screen-free, they value screen time being reserved for special moments and value caregivers who do not rely on screens or shows during the day-to-day and will instead get the kids outside interacting with the world or with play-based, creative learning at home. The family is also supported by a house cleaner once a week and a night nanny who supports them three nights a week right now.
