About Our Family
We are a busy, active family of five living in a warm and welcoming home in Woodbury, Minnesota. Both parents work demanding full-time roles, and our three kids keep life full and moving. Our household runs at a high energy level — there are lacrosse bags, ski gear, cheerleading schedules, and a very loved (and non-shedding) Cavapoo weaving through it all. We are easygoing and genuinely appreciate the people who show up for our family. We've had wonderful in-home support for years, and as our kids have grown into more independent teenagers, we're ready for the next chapter: a trusted household manager who can step in and keep things running smoothly without being asked twice.
We love sitting down to dinner together, even when everyone's schedule pulls in different directions. We rely on good systems, a stocked kitchen, and someone who cares about the details the same way we do. If you thrive in a lively, family-centered home and find satisfaction in making a household hum, you'll feel right at home with us.
Who You Are / What We're Looking For
You are the kind of person who walks into a room and naturally notices the little things that make a big difference. You don't need a daily checklist or someone looking over your shoulder. You're thoughtful, proactive, and take pride in anticipating needs, creating organization, and helping a household run smoothly. You bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine enjoyment of being part of a family's everyday life.
You have a natural connection with kids and enjoy being part of their daily routines. Whether it's making sure water bottles are filled, snacks are packed, or everything is ready before the kids head out the door, you find satisfaction in the thoughtful details that make a family's day easier. Whether your experience comes from professional household management or years of managing your own home, what matters most is your initiative, attention to detail, and genuine care for the people around you.
