Parenting Style

Our Thoughts on Parenting 
The Type of Parents We Hope to Be


    • Laughter is the best medicine. We are a goofy, loving couple who enjoy making each other laugh. Our home is filled with joy!

    • Family is key! We love our families and are very close with them. Whether they travel to New York City, we travel home or everyone goes on vacation together -family time is a priority. Spending time with our friends (who we consider our family as well) is important to us too! All of our friends who have children allow them to call us "Aunt" & "Uncle" - Their kiddos can't wait to have a new "cousin" to play with.

    • We desire to provide a home that is safe, supportive and nurturing of a child. So that he/she can grow into who they are meant to be. We do not believe in molding a child into our vision of who we think they "should" be but rather guiding them toward their own path and helping along the way.

    • No spanking! No matter the situation,  there is always a peaceful and loving way to encourage good behavior. As a nanny, Annie has experience in dealing with unwanted behavior with redirection, "time-outs", withholding privileges and positive reinforcements as a form of discipline. We plan on using these techniques in our home.

    • Education is important to us. We want to provide an environment that promotes a curiosity for learning. Whether through school, sports, baking, gardening, travel or quiet time at home; we feel that a child can blossom through an array of experiences. Living in the epicenter for culture we are eager to give a child the opportunity to soak up all that New York City has to offer.
