The Staff: Cleaning service that goes weekly to do the deep cleaning of the home; and a French-speaking tutor that helps the girls with their homework daily from 6pm-7pm (the girls’ school is part in French, so if the nanny hired is a native French speaker and is willing to help the girls with their school work, that would be a major bonus and they would no longer need the French tutor)
