  • Reliability and trustworthiness are especially important to the family. They are open to an experienced professional who can confidently manage the baby overnight while still respecting the parents’ preferences and routines.
About the Pets:
  • The family has three dogs. Candidates should be comfortable working in a home with multiple dogs.
Additional Notes:
