What else are you looking for in a nanny?
We are looking for a nanny who is honest, responsible, and caring, but who is not afraid to be a kid with our son. We would love a nanny that will get down and play cars with our son but will also let him play alone when he wants to. Someone who is creative at finding activities in the community to take our son to would be great. We would love a nanny that becomes like family who feels totally comfortable being open and honest with all of us. Must be ok with listening to the same music over and over and over again!
