About the Family

Join a friendly, down-to-earth family with a bubbly, social, and active 14-month-old girl and her loyal Labrador sidekick (aged 3). Mum works from home as well as in the office, while Dad works full-time out of the house. Their days are filled with family walks, cousin catch-ups, park visits, and playdates.

Their little one is at that magical toddler stage—curious, full of energy, and growing in confidence on her feet every day. The family follows a gentle parenting style and is seeking someone who can offer warmth, consistency, and a playful approach as their daughter explores the world around her. They're excited to welcome a nanny who will become a trusted, long-term part of their lives.
