Our baby is very emotional & full of personality. Her ideal day between naps & feedings is spent playing hand-on with you, being carried around, going for strolls, and practicing her skills like supported standing, sitting up by herself, babbling and crawling. She does not like to be left by herself. We do not let her cry it out. A patient caregiver who has experience with fussier or big personality “high needs” babies is a must!

We have a small miniature poodle in the home, and a cat who prefers to mind her own business, so it's important that you're comfortable around pets. Dog may want to be let out to use the bathroom in a fenced in backyard, but no other care is needed for him.
