Household dynamic:

• Their 7 and 4-year-old children are playful and love animals, including their two adorable pet turtles and labradoodle! The parents describe their 7-year-old daughter as being cautious and intuitive, and she bonds well with folks who are soft-spoken and sweet. Their 4-year-old son is laid back and likes to go with the flow! Both children attend school during the week, and when they’re not in school they enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, and being outdoors for walks and sports like golf, t-ball, horseback riding, and bike riding!
• These parents feel lucky to afford the opportunity to travel and give their children exposure to different places. They have homes in both Texas and Mississippi, and enjoy spending summers with extended family on the lake at their residence in Mississippi and taking several pop-up trips each year! The existing family team consists of an estate manager and housekeeper. Dad works outside of the house, and mom is a stay-at-home parent who will tag-team with the nanny to ensure the household runs smoothly.
