Dad works outside of the home and Mom is a stay at home mom who will be in and out of the house during the nanny’s shift. Their ideal nanny will be very engaging and playful with their 2.5 year old and take him out to activities, as well as be experienced with newborns to be able to help with the new baby come September.
