About the family: They are rooted in trust and quality time and are an affectionate family. Dad loves to cook and they enjoy sitting down to eat as a family with their boys. Having moved to East Nashville last year, they have loved exploring their new neighborhood’s shops, cafes, parks, and restaurants! Both parents strive to be intentional, loving, and hands on parents, making sure they hold, hug, show, and tell their little guys how much they are loved! They value reading and free play and getting outside in the fresh air.
Because Mom is fully remote, she will be in the office most of the day yet she loves to be able to sneak in a few hugs and kisses from the boys in between meetings. They are looking for a nanny that is comfortable with Mom being around the space frequently as it is a cozy house.
