About the Family:
This warm and active professional family has a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl and a long history of working with nannies.
· The 6-year-old boy is a gentle, thoughtful boy who enjoys insects, bike riding, soccer, and scooter adventures. He’s in prep, receives speech support, and sometimes needs emotional reassurance, especially during school drop-offs. He manages a cat allergy well and may occasionally require antihistamines.
· His younger sister, 4 years old is in pre-prep. She is bright, energetic and full of personality! She loves dancing, learning new things, and getting stuck into imaginative games. She thrives on attention and engagement.
Together, the kids enjoy scooter and bike rides to the nearby creek, swimming, running races in the backyard and jumping on the trampoline. The family lives on acreage with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play — rain or shine! They also have two cats and a dog.
