About the Family: This warm and vibrant family of four is excited to welcome a nurturing and engaged nanny into their home. Our devoted two-dad household has built a loving, well-balanced, and community-centered family life in Ross. Their children are full of personality-their son is an active, intellectually curious 3-year-old who loves music, dancing, soccer, and gymnastics, while their newborn is already showing signs of strength and determination, eagerly taking on tummy time! The family values kindness, respect, diversity, and personal growth, prioritizing a mix of structure and free-range exploration for their children.
