We are a transracial, adoptive family! We are a laid-back, modern family who co-parent really well together. The care will take place at my house (Mom’s house) in Ojai, and then sometimes on Fridays we will need our nanny to drive our son to his Dad’s house in Thousand Oaks. We practice intentional parenting and try to be as consistent as possible. The care will take place in Ojai where our son, my partner, Sunny (our hypoallergenic poodle), and I live together.
You have confidence and a sense of adventure! Being a role model for a young, black boy is something you take seriously. You are active, capable, and patient. You are punctual, open-minded, and adaptable. You are comfortable working with a family in the LGBTQI+ community. Kids love how energetic and hands-on you are, and parents appreciate your ability to lead and set boundaries that are consistent with their parenting style. You might know your way around a b-ball court or a soccer field too!
Getting our son ready for school, making his breakfast, packing lunch, driving him to school, occasionally running errands and picking up a few groceries, picking him up from school, preparing snacks, taking him to the skate park or other outings, playing with him, engaging his interests, and some light meal prep for him for dinner. On Fridays (sometimes) driving our son from Ojai to Thousand Oaks to drop him off at his dad’s house. It’s about 45 minutes from Ojai to Thousand Oaks.
