Family Dynamics
Welcome to a warm and inviting family residing in the vibrant neighborhood of Kaka’ako. This loving family is seeking a dedicated and reliable nanny to care for their delightful 6-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, who bring joy and energy into their cozy condo home.
Their son, a curious and affectionate child, is preparing for an exciting year ahead as he starts school for the first time. He continues his Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy in the afternoons, requiring a nurturing and understanding caregiver who can support his growth and development. His twin sister, equally delightful and full of personality, shares a close bond with her brother, making their dynamic truly special.
This family values inclusivity, open-mindedness, and collaboration. They are looking for a nanny who embodies these qualities and can become an integral part of their lives. As the nanny becomes more familiar with their son’s needs, the family appreciates a balance of guidance and autonomy, fostering a harmonious relationship built on trust and mutual respect. They enjoy spending quality time together in their vibrant neighborhood, engaging in creative activities, exploring local parks, and sharing family meals.
