About Our Family:

We are a busy, professional family with two children and two pets, and our home is full of energy and activity. Both parents work full-time, and while we have great support at home, we’re looking for someone who can help keep everything running smoothly. We value clear communication and trust, and we want to stay in the loop with what’s being managed. Our ideal candidate will be positive, proactive, meticulously organized, highly detail-oriented and flexible; someone who can take ownership of tasks both big and small, while helping us stay on top of things and making our busy household feel manageable. You’ll work alongside us to ensure everything from household operations and logistics to family administrative tasks is organized, efficient, and running without a hitch.

Who You Are / What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for someone who brings energy, flexibility, and a positive, proactive attitude to everything they do. You thrive in a dynamic environment, managing multiple tasks and priorities with ease, always thinking ahead like a project manager. You take full ownership of your work and make sure to follow through on everything, ensuring that no detail is ever overlooked. You understand the importance of keeping the family informed and are great at providing regular check-ins to update us on what’s going on, always with a solutions-oriented mindset. Like a gentle nudge, you proactively share important information and updates, anticipating needs and offering insights before we even have to ask. You’re tech-savvy, comfortable managing remote communication, and always ready to find solutions that make things easier for the family, from coordinating schedules to troubleshooting any issues that come up. Communication is key for you, and you know how to keep things flowing smoothly by being open, honest, and transparent. You’re a team player who works well with others, including household staff and vendors, and you’re open to receiving and adapting to regular feedback. Above all, you maintain a resilient, positive, no-task-is-too-big-or-small-type attitude, bringing a sense of calm and reliability that helps us all feel supported and confident that everything is under control.

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.
