So someone who is a team player and is not easily overwhelmed by the busy life of a big family would be ideal—someone who is organized, reliable, and engaging. The family lives in a brownstone with lots of stairs, so someone comfortable going up and down stairs in the house is essential. Someone with classroom experience would be great!
