Family Expectations

We see our nannies as part of our family. Respect, honesty, clear communication, and reliability are key. Our children are expected to listen to their nannies just as they would to us, and we deeply value the support and initiative our nanny brings—especially during school hours when small household jobs make a big difference. We are hands-on parents but work long hours, so your role in creating a calm, well-run household is both important and greatly appreciated.

If you’re a caring, capable, and proactive nanny looking for a long-term role where you’ll be valued as part of the family, we’d love to hear from you!
