The parents are warm, hands-on parents who value family time, fresh air, and educational play. The Family’s strong support system of extended family nearby, means they are seeking a caregiver who can become an integral part of their village. With three young children on different schedules, they hope to find someone who can help provide individual attention to each child and maintain a calm, nurturing routine.  This role is for a down-on-the-floor caregiver ready to support the family in their dynamic needs!
