Part of my family is my cat, Bear. My friend/ male,is living with me.

Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
I am single, commute to San Diego for work approximately 9 days of the month. While at home, I manage my business and need a second hand to help with infant care while I work from home. I would like the nanny to be available for overnight stays, which will probably include traveling to San Diego with us for the first several months.
Describe the child(ren) you need a nanny for:
Newborn, to be born December 15 – 20. Due to India laws, I do not know if the infant is female or male.
Describe your home setting: My home is single family, 2 story, with a large yard that is frequently visited by wildlife. I live in the outskirts of Lyons, my yard backs up to openspace, and has beautiful views of Longs and Meekers Peak. My elderly cat, Bear, is wise, quiet, self sufficient and loves to watch the animals grazing in the yard at dusk. My home is filled with art from the different countries that I have visited. The entire downstairs is unoccupied, with plenty of space for a nanny who wants to set up their own space, which includes own bedroom and living area for overnight stays.
