About our family:

We are a loving, hardworking family of 3 (mom, dad and infant born in December). We live 4 miles west of downtown Fort Worth, off Camp Bowie Blvd. Mom and dad are scientists / engineers, and work from home one day a week. We enjoy being outdoors and taking walks with our son and dog.

About You:

Above all, you are loving, trustworthy, responsible and experienced with infants. Your infant experience can be from having your own children, extensive babysitting, having worked in a daycare, or as a private nanny. 

You’re able to navigate the ever-changing challenges of infants and toddlers with love and patience. You’re able to engage our son without screens, helping him meet milestones through sensory stimulation, lots of talking and reading, and by teaching him about the world around him. Our neighborhood is very walkable and we hope you’ll take him outdoors when the weather allows.

As our son gets older, you’ll encourage his independence in a safe environment. We hope you’ll become a partner to us as we learn and grow as parents. 

We can’t wait to meet you!
