Solo Los Angeles, California Parent, is looking to hire an education-focused Nanny who genuinely enjoys being around toddlers. The fully engaging Nanny will focus primarily on educating his 14-month-old son regarding colors, numbers, alphabet, planets, books, his cardboard pirate ship, and their newly created backyard garden as another focus of fun learning. etc., and will follow a NO "staring at their phone" policy during playtime, etc. The little boy does not participate in any screen time currently. He loves to read, play with his toys, walk in the front and backyard, and take trips to the park up the street in his stroller.

The dad is a "contact sleeper," and he practices an attached parent style:
Their current schedule for a typical day is as follows:

6:15 am - Dad and child awake. They shower and have breakfast, and music/reading/play

Noon-ish - Nap for a few hours
3:00 pm - Wake up from nap
3:45 pm - A trip to the park, then back home to settle
5:00 pm - Dinner, then winding down
