About Our Family:
We are a warm, welcoming, and close-knit family based in Nashville. Our home is filled with laughter, busy schedules, and lots of activity as we balance two active teens, two working parents with demanding and ever-changing calendars, and a small, beloved family dog who is very much part of our family. Mornings are generally handled independently, but afternoons are when we could really use a dependable, caring person to help keep our home running smoothly and bring a sense of calm to the day.
We value a well-organized home and strive to create an environment that feels welcoming, peaceful, and runs smoothly. Our home has an upbeat, fun energy—we love to laugh, we move quickly, and we appreciate someone who can keep pace while bringing a calm, organized presence.
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys supporting busy families and finds fulfillment in creating order behind the scenes. This role is about much more than checking off a to-do list. We're hoping to find someone who anticipates needs before they're voiced, takes ownership with confidence, and takes pride in making everyday life a little easier for our family. Above all, we'd love to welcome someone who is looking to become a trusted, long-term member of our household.

- An excellent communicator who keeps the family informed while working independently
