Hopes:
Ultimately, the family is seeking a professional nanny who is responsible, engaging and nurturing. The family seeks to find a nanny who truly enjoys their work with children, has experience with infants and knows how to guide them toward development and growth. They should be loving, warm, kind and gentle in their approach with their children. The family requires a 1 year commitment, but would also hope to find a fit that would like to stay with the family for the next 3+ years.
