Experience with Children: Experience caring for children of similar ages is preferred, and a background in child development is a bonus.

Warm and Nurturing: We want someone who is passionate about childcare, enthusiastic, and nurturing, with the ability to provide guidance, patience, and kindness.
Comfortable with a Live-In Arrangement: This position is live-in, meaning you’ll be part of our family’s daily routine. A private room will be provided, and we value creating a supportive and welcoming environment for you as part of the household.
