The nanny will care for him one day per week alongside his younger sister and provide care for both children when school is closed. Family Environment: Mom and Dad prioritize a household built on consistency, balance, and intentional childcare. While they value structure and routines, they are not overly rigid or strict, remaining flexible and adaptable to their kids’ needs. Their parenting style is warm and intentional, balancing patience with gentle, consistent boundaries while encouraging positive behavior. Spending intentional time together away from screens and talking about their feelings is very important to this family.
