About us:
We're a professional couple who work full time as a doctor and lawyer. Our delightful little 4-year-old attends the local ELC for ~3 days per week. She is clever and curious and loves learning new things, reading and imaginative play. She has no medical conditions or special needs. She's been looked after by a number of wonderful nannies since birth - our current much-loved nanny who has been working with us for the past 3 years is unfortunately looking to reduce her hours but is flexible with when this will happen. We really hope to find someone to join our family and develop a long-term relationship for the coming years, especially if we have future additions to the family.
