About Our Family
We’re a busy, entrepreneurial family with two school-age children and a senior dog, balancing demanding work schedules and after-school activities. We’re often away from home from early morning until evening, and we’re looking for someone who can keep our household running smoothly and make it a calm, welcoming place to return to.
We value initiative, good judgment, and thoughtful communication. The right person will notice what needs attention, handle day-to-day tasks independently, and check in when a decision calls for it. We care deeply about our home and are looking for someone who will treat it—and the people and pets in it—with care and discretion.
In return, we offer flexibility, trust, and the autonomy to make a meaningful difference in a household that genuinely appreciates the support.

- A self-starter who notices what needs doing—laundry, pantry restocking, appointments—and takes initiative without waiting for a checklist.
- Comfortable making sound decisions independently and knowing when to check in.
- Organized, resourceful, and calm while managing an ongoing to-do list.
- Takes pride in their work, communicates proactively, and treats the family’s home with care and discretion.
- Honest and accountable.
- Leaves the home better than they found it.
