They would love someone open to working late 1 night per week (usually not past 9pm during the weekdays).There will be some overnights approximately once a quarter that may fall on weekends when the parents are traveling.
They ask for flexibility to stay with the girls during these weekends, as they have no family in the state.
They travel domestically as a family and may ask their nanny to join them, particularly during the summer! Their travels often take them to their home in Big Sky, MT during the holidays (they do not expect their nanny to work over Christmas but meet them afterward), over spring break, and for 2-3 weeks in the summer.The nanny will always have a private room and private bathroom while traveling.

No heavy cleaning, as they have a cleaning service once per week on Thursday.
Duties other than complete childcare include loading/unloading the dishwasher, cleaning kitchen after children's meals, and teaching the children how to clean up after themselves and their play areas.
The eldest two girls are incredibly outgoing, busy, and full of sunshine! They love to play outside, ride their scooters, play with their friendly lab (must love dogs!), and walk on the neighborhood trails. The eldest enjoys reading and art, while the middle loves to build with magna-tiles and learning how to write her name!Both girls love gymnastics, putting on pretend drama performances, and reading books. While the girls are the best of friends, they also need to learn to give each other space and communicate any frustrations to the other one. The youngest is still developing her little personality!
