The candidate to hire will be supported by a full household team (housekeeper/house manager, backup nannies), so the focus stays on the children and their daily needs. The children are 3.5-years-old and 1.5-years-old and they have another baby on the way but there will be an NCS for the baby and eventually they will hire another nanny down the line to help so this role is focused on the toddlers. Both of the children are in Montessori school.
