A little about their family values:
It is really important to us that the kids’ curiosity for the world is fostered. If the kids ask questions we engage them and get curious about things together. We value empathy and want the kids to always feel loved. We don’t allow any screen time and like them to be active and outside. We even avoid using our phones for things like playing music and prefer them to listen to CD’s. Healthy eating is important to us, we don’t give them many snacks, very limited sugar/processed foods. We are very pro discipline in a kind and respectful way. We are still figuring this out and are open to suggestions from nannies’ past experiences. We want to validate them while holding firm boundaries.
