The family would prefer a candidate who has former teaching experience along with private home nanny credentials.  The children’s ages range from 8 – 16 years old.  Their current nanny incorporates quite a bit of Spanish in her daily conversations with the children.  The family would prefer to hire someone fluent in Spanish, but it’s not a requirement.  Additionally, the family is seeking someone who is familiar with working in a fully staffed setting and can become a part of the team.
