About our family:

We are a family of 4, mom, dad and 3  year old daughter  and newborn daughter,  with one sweet Wheaten Terrier who is non-shedding, living in Westworth Village in Fort Worth.  We are a loving, gentle and fun family.

Mom and dad work from home and are hands-on as needed. We have a playful, gentle approach to raising our daughter. Our daughter loves to read, sing, dance, and color. She is a lover and a cuddler and is sensitive. She’s outgoing and fun. She goes to a Mother’s Day out program on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Our newborn daughter was just born in August and we’re learning about each other!

We’re hoping to find someone who can encourage our girls to learn and meet milestones through lots of play and reading, and who can be a trusted, long-term  caregiver who is willing to partner with us.
