Message from Family: We have a house full of laughter and love! With 5 children under the age of 10, we've been focused on building this beautiful family over the past 10 years and are finally finished with the arrival of our baby boy! We value kindness, honesty, and integrity, and lead a Christ-focused lifestyle full of endless messes to clean, pictures to color, sports to play, songs to be sung, and hugs and kisses to be given. Never boring, and always a birthday or holiday to celebrate BIG, our family is intentional about being responsible, working as a team, saying you're sorry and meaning it, and trying to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Dad is a self-proclaimed "nerd" and works in the tech industry as a senior software engineer. He works from home, intentionally, to be able to spend more time with his children. He's an incredibly "hands-on" father who cooks, cleans, does laundry, and changes lots of diapers…. but his favorite thing to do is have tickle wars and give hugs. Mom also works in Tech, but on the marketing/creative side, and loves to make things beautiful. We work so well as a team, and a well-oiled machine, which only comes from being together for half our lives and knowing each other so well.

We also have a pet dog, who is our first "child", and is a spunky yet lazy standard poodle that prefers his humans over other dogs. He's extremely intelligent and loves cleaning up the messes the kids make during mealtime. He's gentle, doesn't bite, doesn't lick, and is super easy to be around. He doesn't shed and doesn't bark, but will follow you around if you let him. We also have a cleaning crew come every couple of weeks to deep clean the house on Friday mornings.

About the Children: Our oldest child is a 9-year-old boy, his goal with everyone he meets is to make them laugh! His enthusiastic personality is infectious, and he's equally lovable and snuggly as he is rough, tough, and rowdy. He is a unique little soul who has a colorful entry story into the world and because of this story, we were able to adopt him when he was an infant. His interests are wide-ranging, from anything having to do with a ball to anything that requires being outside or moving his body! He is diagnosed with ADHD and takes medication to help him focus and manage his emotions. Every day is new, and those who care for him should know that he sometimes struggles with impulsivity, memory, focus, executive functioning, and maintaining his emotions and temper. He works on this daily, and we continue to see improvement but just know that at times, he needs a little grace…as do we all.

Our second child is a 7-year-old boy who is a very independent, witty, intelligent, and creative little boy. He seems wise beyond his years and we often joke and call him "senator" for his grown-up vocabulary at times. He is a rule follower, schedule lover, and also is the most creative and artsy of all the children.

Our third child is a little girl who is now 5.5 years old. She is our rise and shiner! She is the first to wake in the morning and the most cheerful! She is a typical girly girl, she loves purses, shoes, jewelry, princesses, and dress up. She was a pandemic baby and spent her first few years isolated at home.

Our fourth is a 3.5-year-old girl. She loves being with her older siblings and NEVER wants to be left out or left at home! She likes to GO GO GO and is by far the best eater of the kids. She loves to dance around the house, pose for pictures, dance on the counter, and sing songs at the top of her lungs. She's loud, proud, and full of happiness.

Our youngest is a 1-year-old boy who has completely taken on the typical "baby" role in our big family and loves all the attention he gets from his siblings. They are obsessed with him, and he loves all the hugs, kisses and love! He enjoys food very much and especially enjoys eating whole apples (something new he just started). He's an incredible sleeper (all my kids are), and takes a great morning and afternoon na… sometimes we have to wake him! He also enjoys bubble baths, going on walks and is best friends with our standard poodle. He is very expressive and communicative, always letting you know what he needs or wants, etc. He enjoys being held and has a thing for soft textured things (his lovey, "Meep Meep the Christmas Sheep", soft blankets, furry things, etc).

*** The majority of the time, the care will be focused on the 1-year-old and part-time (2 days a week) with the 3.5-year-old. During the school year, 4 of my 5 are in school, 3 of which are full-time (7:50 am-3:30 pm). The two little ones are the ones we're really hoping to find the perfect person for. There are snow days and breaks where this nanny will have all 5, but it's not the norm.
