Household dynamic:
- This thoughtful, open family and their two children are active and on the go! Their almost 3-year-old son is a busy bee, who is obsessed with his toys and loves to play. The family’s 17-month-old loves her parents and caregiver deeply and can take some time to warm up to new people. Both children will attend a local Montessori school this fall, and they are hopeful to grow their family in 2024!
- This family can often be found hiking, practicing yoga, cooking, and taking walks together with the family dog. They travel frequently with their household and with their extended family to beautiful destinations both domestically and internationally and look forward to inviting a travel-ready candidate to join them.
