About the children:
The 6-year-old is energetic, sweet, creative, smart, and sometimes a little shy. In Kindergarten, she is loving math and reading. Typical activities include ballet, gymnastics, and karate. She is very active and loves to be outside on the playground, riding her bike, or just running around. She loves singing and dancing around the house, doing cartwheels in the basement, playing dress-up, drawing, and painting.
The 3-year-old is sweet, smart, engaging, and very energetic. He loves to count and sing his ABC’s. Like his active sister, he enjoys playing outside. He is obsessed with trucks and loves his toy trucks. He loves building with his magnetic blocks and spending time in the basement riding his scooter or mini Big Wheel.
About the family home:
The parents are engaging, outgoing, and easy to get along with. Adults in the house are vaccinated and are COVID-cautious since the kids are not vaccinated. Discipline structure in the home includes suspending privileges (e.g. iPads or toys), time-outs when needed, and quiet time in their room. Children usually get along well.
The father is organized, (tries to be) easygoing, clean, and focused on his job. The mother is extremely smart, emotionally intelligent, and easy to get along with. Both parents work from home but want a caregiver who can “run the show” independently. They want a nanny who takes the reins during business hours and is also okay with parents being around for meals.
Benefits will include:
Salary for set hours plus overtime (this includes pay if Family on vacation). Paid vacation, personal, and sick days. Flexible with payment method.
