• Support the child’s development through fun, encouraging coaching (e.g., practicing letters, counting)
• Maintain a structured routine while remaining adaptable to the family’s evolving needs
• Work collaboratively with the parents to foster a supportive, cooperative environment
• Be comfortable around the family’s 11-year-old French bulldog
