Family of 4 relocating back to Brentwood from North Carolina is looking for an experienced, long-term nanny to join their family and care for their two sweet daughters, almost 4 years old and 5 months old. Mom is currently home with the girls but plans to begin taking on project-based work and is looking for a true partner who can tag-team with her and confidently step in wherever needed. Their almost 4-year-old attends school from 8:30 AM–3:00 PM and is an independent, imaginative little girl who loves pretend play, music, animals, dinosaurs, nature, museums, dress-up, and all things magical. Their 5-month-old is a happy, smiley baby. This family is hoping to find someone who genuinely loves these ages and understands child development, someone who can follow the children’s lead while also bringing fresh ideas for activities, crafts, outings, music, and play. They would especially love a nanny who speaks another language and is comfortable providing language immersion with the children.
