ABOUT THE FAMILY:
This close-knit family of three, who lovingly call themselves ‘the three musketeers’ includes two working parents and their easy-going 5-year-old son. They have employed the same nanny since their son was 18 months old and they are supporting her through her journey of starting her own family. While she is on maternity leave, they need a fabulous fill in nanny/FA to help keep things flowing during this time! They prioritize quality time together and enjoy traveling, outdoor activities, and creative pursuits. The family’s two friendly dogs complete their household. They are seeking a nanny who will seamlessly integrate into their daily routines, providing attentive care for their son and light support around the home during this temporary engagement.

Their 5 year old son attends school close to their home and is an active, outdoors-loving kid! When he isn’t outside playing sports or driving his power wheels, he loves imaginary play with trucks, dinosaurs, and all the boy things!. He enjoys going to parks, the zoo, the adventure science center, play places such as monkey’s treehouse. A playdate with friends is always a fan-favorite as well. The family has a country club membership so in the summer he likes to go to the pool. Put on a little rock and roll and he’s in musical heaven!
