She is proactive, thoughtful, and consistently brushing up on new child psychology or development research. They seek a provider who regards each child as an individual.
She is energetic, interactive, and engages their children in valuable playtime and educational experiences. Their ideal Nanny favors the gentle parenting style and teaches their little ones positive habits ensuring they grow to become respectful, polite, and kind-hearted individuals.
