Overview

This warm and welcoming family is a joy to work with. They are engaged, communicative parents who genuinely value the role of a nanny and are looking to build a relationship rooted in trust, mutual respect, and shared values around child development and care. 

They have a curious 2.5-year-old and a sweet 4-month-old. Looking ahead, the family may explore transitioning this role into a full-time position after Summer 2026 and would love to continue with the same caregiver if there is mutual interest. That said, they are fully open to hiring a separate candidate for the future full-time role if needed.
