Summary
A bit about us:
- We’re a FUN-loving, tight-knit family of 3 who love our two small dogs and one parakeet.
- We both work full-time and want our daughter to have an engaging and responsible big sister/big brother type nanny.
- Our 12-year-old daughter likes playing Sharks and Minnows at the pool, Disneyland, going to the park, and playing make-believe with her dolls and stuffies.
- Like most pre-teens, she enjoys her screens, and we'd love to find a nanny who can naturally draw her into other activities, keep her active, and encourage a healthy balance without constant battles over screen time.
