About Our Family
We are a busy, professionally-driven couple based in Charlotte, though one of us also frequently spends time in Raleigh. Our schedules shift constantly — no two weeks look the same — and our home reflects that energy. We work hard and move fast, so we appreciate people who can keep up and stay one step ahead. We are in the process of laying a foundation for the way our home runs, and we could use support in putting structures and methods in place.
We are looking for someone who notices what needs to be done and jumps in without prompting. We may not always be physically present to oversee someone in our home, so we need someone who is independent and trustworthy. When we are home, we’d love to build a collaborative, flexible, and open-minded system together.
We have two dogs who will require some daily attention and midday exercise, but other than that, we are very flexible on when other household needs get done. We anticipate having children in the next few years; and as our family grows, there is significant potential for this role to grow as well. The ideal candidate will embrace that change and be comfortable adding childcare to their responsibilities in the future.
Who You Are / What We're Looking For
You are detail-oriented, dependable, and take pride in doing things well. You thrive in environments where the plan changes, where you are expected to think ahead, and where you can move seamlessly between tasks without losing focus. You are a team player, but happy to take initiative and tackle projects on your own.
You are warm and easy to be around, but you understand that professionalism and discretion are non-negotiable. You can be trusted in a home when no one else is there, and you treat that trust seriously. Spanish fluency is a strong plus, and you are genuinely open to the possibility of taking on childcare responsibilities as our family grows. Long-term fit matters to us, and we are looking for someone who is looking for that too.
Weekly, we’re looking for 2-3 full days of support with home organization, pet care, meal prep, and laundry. Since our schedules are ever-changing, the ideal candidate is someone who leads with work ethic and adaptability. The quality and consistency of your work matters more than the specific hours you’re in the home — as long as things are done well, we will be happy to work together on timing. We need flexibility in this role, and are happy to offer the same to you.
