This loving and intentional family of five is ready to welcome a supportive “third parent” into their busy lifestyle to help with their three children, B5, G4, and BNB. Both parents work demanding jobs within global companies but cherish spending distraction-free time with their three children given their work from home capabilities. While they already have a dependable afternoon nanny to tackle the afternoon logistics with the older kids, they are seeking an integral member of their parenting team who will be there full time and allow their worlds to keep turning. This is a family of high integrity who channel their passion and purpose into everything they do, which they hope to see mirrored in the individual they hire. Mindset is everything!
