Location: Potomac, MD 20854

Employment Type: Full-time, 40+ hours/week (W2 position)

Proposed Start Date: ASAP

Compensation: $35–$45/hour, based on experience

Requirements: Non-smoker, fully vaccinated (including COVID & flu), pass background check, legal to work in the U.S., valid driver’s license, comfortable driving in the DC metro area.

About the Family

We are a warm, active family of six with four children (ages 12, 9, 8, and 6). Both parents are attorneys with demanding professional schedules. We recently relocated to Potomac and our children have just started at new schools. We are currently in a temporary home before moving into our permanent residence in the coming months, so adaptability is key.

Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone steady, patient, and proactive who thrives in a busy household and brings a calm presence. The right fit will be:

  • Experienced with children – especially school-aged kids with varying needs; teaching or childcare background is a plus.
  • Measured and calm – able to guide and redirect with empathy, particularly with our eldest son who needs thoughtful support around emotional regulation.
  • Organized & systems-oriented – able to create and maintain household structures that keep a large family running smoothly.
  • Reliable and punctual – we need someone who manages time well and can be counted on daily.
  • Energetic but grounded – able to keep up with the pace of our home, while bringing the wisdom and steadiness of experience.
  • Communicative & collaborative – comfortable checking in, asking questions, and coordinating with both parents.
  • Respectful of family values – while you don’t need to share our values or religious practices, sensitivity and respect are important.

Key Responsibilities

Household Management & Organization

  • Establish and maintain household systems (closets, toys, pantry, laundry).
  • Reset and tidy common areas daily; prepare home for monthly cleaning service.
  • Manage household schedules, calendars, and seasonal swaps.
  • Oversee donations, packing/unpacking, and holiday or guest prep.
  • Coordinate with and supervise vendors (cleaners, landscapers, handymen).
  • Handle trash/recycling, dishwasher loading/unloading, and light daily cleaning.

Inventory & Errands

  • Track, restock, and order groceries, pantry items, toiletries, and supplies (Amazon, Costco, Target).
  • Run errands: dry cleaning, returns, gift shopping, mail/packages.
  • Support with travel prep, packing lists, and kids’ gear management.

Meal Planning & Prep

  • Partner with mom on weekly menu planning.
  • Shop for groceries and meal-related needs.
  • Prepare 2–3 healthy dinners/week (fish, vegetables, family-friendly meals).
  • Prep snacks and school lunches.
  • Clean and reset kitchen post-meal prep.

Laundry & Linen Care

  • Manage family laundry: wash, fold, organize, and put away.
  • Steam/iron outfits as needed; prep uniforms and weekly clothing.
  • Rotate linens, refresh towels, and manage supplies.

Transportation & Vehicle Management

  • Assist with school/activity drop-offs and pick-ups (family car provided).
  • Afternoon pick-ups and activity runs are most critical.
  • Keep family car fueled, cleaned, and maintained.

Property Oversight

  • Coordinate vendors and service providers for two local rental properties as needed (Potomac & Alexandria).
  • Handle repair calls, maintenance requests, and seasonal upkeep.
  • Oversee systems and regular maintenance like HVAC, hot tub, etc.
  • Support with transition into new home construction.

Family Support & Child Assistance

  • Afternoon childcare support: pick-ups, snacks, homework supervision, and activity transitions.
  • Provide structure and gentle guidance with chores and routines.
  • Support executive function and independence in kids (e.g., managing backpacks, checklists, chore charts).
  • Supervision, playtime, or back-up childcare (including occasional overnights, if needed).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
