The parents are calm and organised and place a strong emphasis on family life. They enjoy health and wellness, sport, outdoor activities, good food and travel for both work and pleasure.
The household is calm and well-structured, and they are looking for a nanny who can work in partnership with them to maintain and build on established routines which they have created.
