Their 1-year-old is very curious and chatty! He loves getting to know people, animals, and is very observant. They typically travel when it is safe to do so, including trips to Europe and spending the holidays in CA.

Preparing healthy, simple meals for him in the family's gluten-free home and pitching in with child-related household tasks will also be appreciated! The family hopes that their future nanny will enjoy traveling with them in the future when it is safe to do so.This is a full-time position guaranteeing 40 hours per week with the general schedule falling on Monday through Fridays from 9am to 4pm.
