Please describe your family:
We are a very outdoorsy, athletic family. We are non-smokers, healthy eaters, and a loving family. We love to travel, bike, ski, swim, and hike, fly. Our family is quite fun and loves positive influences.
Please describe why you are looking for a nanny:
Our goal with getting some help would be for me to get some much needed extra sleep and for our 3 year old to benefit from not sitting in front if the TV each day while his mom is too tired to take him anywhere. Also need a little help for my sanity while my husband is at work for 7 days straight.
Describe the child(ren) you need a nanny for:
Our 3 year old, Thacher could spend every day, all day outside if we let him. He loves the playground, swimming, riding his bike, skiing, anything to do with trucks or cars or planes, building train tracks, reading. We would like to encourage his adventurous spirit as much as possible. He also needs to be tired out each day so he goes to sleep at night. :) He needs boundaries as he is smart and will quickly realize if he can get away with things. Our newborn, Holden is 3 weeks old. Pretty easy baby so far. I am breastfeeding, so some cooperation in helping coordinate that aspect of it is important. He is a sleepy little guy who needs help getting his days and night switched around.
Describe your home setting: We have a very small townhouse so being organized is quite important. We are clean, organized, pet free and non-smoking near Prospect in Longmont
