THE FAMILY | Rancho Palos Verdes family is seeking a full-time, career nanny to help with the daily care of their two children and support with all tasks that directly or indirectly correlate to them. Having two young children, ages 3 years old and 4 months old, the family want to find someone who is confident and knowledgeable caring for infants and toddlers. They also want their new nanny to genuinely enjoy being around these ages and is proactively encouraging age-appropriate development through play and other child-friendly activities.
