About Us

We are a busy family of three living centrally in Edmonton (T6G 1A4), near the university and across the river from downtown. We have one daughter (age 9) and a senior cat (16 years old) who requires regular vet visits every 3 months. Both parents are physicians with demanding work hours. We love our neighborhood, which is walkable and close to our daughter’s school and before/after school care program. Without extended family nearby, we are looking for a reliable and proactive House Manager to provide household support and help our home run smoothly.

Meal Preparation

  • Prep foods (wash/chop vegetables and ingredients for meals, batch cook basics like hard boiled eggs, freezer meals).
  • Grocery shop for fresh ingredients and pantry restock.
  • Follow dietary needs: gluten-free meals are essential.
  • Maintain a clean, organized kitchen.
  • One family member is gluten free but it is not a gluten free household.

Laundry & Linen Care

Family Support & Child Assistance

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.
