The family has no pets, and their oldest child has a walnut allergy (no longer anaphylactic).
No car is needed for this role, but the family has a parking spot if desired. The children’s schools are less than a mile away, and the nanny can pick them up by walking, taking the bus, or using the family’s cargo bike (the middle child enjoys biking home).
