Our family consists of: Marrett (mom), Human Resources Manager, 32 years old. Clayton (dad), Quality Supervisor, 35 years old. Harper (daughter), 28 months old. Wile (son), 9 months old. Bailey (dog), 6 years old. We LOVE to be outside -- hiking and exploring. We believe that being active keeps you healthy, and we encourage our children to play physically, and run, jump, and be adventurous. Mom and Dad love to do CrossFit (an intense type of workout class), and we love spending time together as a family. Our priorities place family first, and we love to be together. We love to cook, eat, and try new things. We are not religious, but don't mind if someone else is as long as they don't impose their beliefs on us or our children. The kids participate in swimming lessons and tumble classes, and love reading. We are all very loving and affectionate. We live in a suburb of Denver, with exposure to diverse food, events, scenery, and people. We are pretty typical Americans, but we LOVE exploring other cultures, and love adventuring with food, sharing stories, and learning about the people around us. We love to cook, love to participate in the different holidays, and love to be exposed to new things. We bring that sense of curiosity and adventure into our relationships, and would love to share our culture with someone who can also share theirs with us. We believe that honesty, respect, open communication, clear expectations, flexibility, maturity, sense of humor, and trust are the most important things when it comes to the relationship between us.

We need affectionate, loving, gentle care from 7:30 am - 5 pm Monday through Thursday, and from 7:30 am - 1:00 pm on Fridays. We require that our caregiver be certified in First Aid and CPR -- we can send you to class if you aren't already, and be familiar with gentle/peaceful parenting and caregiving styles. We will provide resources (classes, books) that go over this in more detail. We need a very loving, kind, warm personality who doesn't yell, or get angry easily. We also need someone who is extremely patient, and who understands that kids just need to be kids sometimes, and that our role is to help them work through their feelings and emotions. We expect that our Au Pair will engage our children daily with arts and crafts, or take them to story time, the museum, the playground, or to other age appropriate activities (for an hour or two each morning), prepare and feed lunch, get them down for nap, and prepare an afternoon snack. We expect lots of books to be read, and fun to be had! We do not allow television during the day, and cell phones should be for updates and emergencies only. We would also like the kids' laundry to be folded and put away, toys and books to be picked up at the end of the day, and the kids dishes done. We do not have any expectations for care during the evenings or weekends, except for special occasions, which we will plan for well in advance. Our Au Pair will have constant access to a vehicle. During the hours that our children need care, they will use our 2011 Subaru Outback wagon. When not working, they will be able to use our Toyota Prius. We own three vehicles, so we MUST have someone who can drive safely and who is an experienced driver. For an idea of a typical day in our home, here is a typical Monday -- Dad works overnight, he sleeps in until around 11 am each day. Mom gets up at 5:15 am and goes to the gym, gets home at 6:45 and begins to get ready for work. The kids normally wake up around 7 am. Mom gets them dressed, ready, and starts making their breakfast. Our current nanny arrives at 7:30, and normally assists with feeding the kids. Mom leaves the house around 8 am. Dad gets up around 11 am, and goes the gym for about an hour. He comes home and gets himself ready for work, and normally plays with the kids and watches the news for a couple of hours. He leaves at 4 pm for work. Mom leaves work at 4 pm, and get home close to 5 pm. Our nanny leaves shortly after I get home. Mom makes dinner right away, and eats with the kids. We do bath time, and then we will sit together and read books or play, and watch a show to relax. Bedtime is around 7:30 pm. Mom often goes to sleep with the kids due to getting up at 5:15 am each day.
