About the Family
A warm and growing family in Cathedral Heights is seeking a loving, trustworthy, and reliable full-time nanny to care for their two children: a 4-year-old daughter (in school until 3:00 PM) and a newborn arriving in October.
Their older daughter is sweet, active, and loves arts and crafts. She thrives when engaged in creative and structured activities, and the family is looking for someone who can foster her imagination, plan thoughtful projects, and create enriching after-school routines.
