This fun-loving family enjoys sporting events, being outdoors, traveling, and trying new things. They are welcoming their second child, a girl, in November and very excited to promote their 4.5 year old boy to big bother! They love all holidays and any chance to spend time with family and friends! As an outgoing crew, they love to stay busy and entertain. They are direct and caring in their communication style and appreciate honesty above all else. Having had a nanny before, they are not strangers to what the dynamic looks like and are excited to welcome someone new into their crew who will treasure their children and ensure they feel loved and supported every day.
