A bit about us:
_

We're an open-minded, very loving, multi-ethnic family who will soon be a party of 4 I am currently working on my Ph.

D. in Critical Race Theory and teaching while my husband is getting his Master's degree in Fine Arts.

We are liberal and creative We are a little "granola" and eat healthy (unprocessed) food, avoid screen time, and love practicing attachment parenting.

Our almost 2-year-old loves music, dancing, and art; she has her own little easel Her grandma used to be an opera singer and she loves listening to people sing and drumming.

She would like a nanny who is musical, likes painting, and loves the outdoors

Our bun in the oven is due in September so initially you'll just be caring for our toddler and helping me through the end of my pregnancy.

We are so excited to meet her
