About Our Family

We are a vibrant, close-knit family living in New York City, with three kids, two golden retrievers, and a bustling schedule that always keeps us on our toes. Our kids are active, independent, and growing up fast, and our dogs are a fun-loving presence in our home. We live a fast-paced life that includes juggling after-school activities, sports across the tri-state area, playdates, and everything in between. We're looking for someone who's genuinely willing to roll up their sleeves and dig in, bringing an extra set of capable hands to keep the household running smoothly and efficiently, so we're organized, prepared, and free to actually enjoy our time together as a family. We value open communication, a good sense of humor, and a proactive approach to making daily life easier. Our home is warm and welcoming, and we're looking for someone who can seamlessly become part of our routine, a true, trusted partner in managing our day-to-day life.

Who You Are / What We’re Looking For

You've managed a busy household before, and you know what that actually looks like day to day: keeping things stocked, organized, and running smoothly without everything falling on one person. You cook well and can meal-plan and batch-prep around a family's tastes and needs, and you're just as comfortable running errands or tackling a big organizing project as you are doing a quick reset before everyone gets home. You drive confidently, city streets included.

You're the type who sees what needs doing and just does it; you don't wait around for a list. You take real ownership of your work and follow through, building things that stick instead of putting out the same fires over and over. You're easy to talk to and genuinely comfortable being part of the everyday flow of a home rather than staying in the background. You connect with kids naturally, you're completely unbothered by big, friendly dogs, and you have a good sense for when to jump in and when to give people space.

This role calls for some flexibility, including at least one later evening a week, occasional weekend coverage, and openness to the occasional overnight. More than anything, we're looking for someone who's ready to be a true partner in making daily life easier for our family.

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.
