A little bit about us…

My husband and I are looking for a nanny share opportunity M-F 9-5 (flexible). We're beginning a home renovation, so it'd be ideal to drop our son off at the other family's home or at the nanny's home, as preferred. Our hope is to find a reliable, positive setting for him to laugh and grow while we maintain our day jobs.
