About Our Family:

We’re a busy, professional family of four, balancing demanding careers with the joys and challenges of raising two energetic daughters (11 & 13) . Our household is full of life, with school, sports, and various activities keeping us on our toes. One of us works from home 2-3 days a week and also travels internationally, while the other has a demanding job that requires travel as well. When one of us is home, we’re fully present and enjoying our time together.

We also have two friendly labradoodles who bring a lot of joy to our family. Occasionally, a family member stays with us to lend a helping hand, particularly during busy times.

With all that’s going on, we’re looking for someone to help us stay organized, maintain the flow of our household, and ensure our kids are supported after school. We value open communication, reliability, and a proactive attitude, and we’re excited to find someone who can help us keep everything running smoothly while we focus on our work and family time.

Who We Are/What We're Looking For:

As a family, we thrive in a dynamic, ever-changing environment, and we need someone who can keep up with the pace and adapt to shifting needs. You’ll be a key partner in managing our household, supporting the kids after school, and ensuring everything stays in order.

We need a detail-oriented individual who can handle multiple responsibilities independently, anticipate what needs to be done, and take initiative without constant supervision. A love for helping others is essential, as you will be directly contributing to reducing the mental load on the family. Whether it’s meal prepping, maintaining organization systems, or stepping in to help with the kids, we want someone who finds satisfaction in keeping things running seamlessly and enjoys being an integral part of the family’s day-to-day life.
