About Our Family
We’re a busy, dual-career household with two beloved cats who are very much part of the family. While we maintain strong daily routines, we have a significant need for organization, systems, and ongoing household management to help our home function at its best.
We're thoughtful people who tend to be a bit sentimental, which makes letting go and organizing challenging. We also struggle with decision fatigue and have accumulated too much stuff for our home, which now has maintenance needs that have escalated from "nice to do" to "need to be done." We're looking for someone who can bring calm, structure, and momentum to the projects we've been putting off for too long. Our home is a place we love, and we want to take better care of it without the overwhelm that's been holding us back.
Who You Are / What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who enjoys creating order from complexity and can take ownership of both establishing and maintaining organizational systems throughout the home. From closets and storage spaces to household inventories, paperwork, scheduling, and home projects, the ideal candidate will bring structure, consistency, and attention to detail to every aspect of the household.
In addition to organization, this role will help manage the many moving pieces that come with homeownership, including vendor coordination, maintenance scheduling, project oversight, and administrative tasks that require persistent follow-through. Our professional responsibilities leave us with limited bandwidth for these larger initiatives, so we're seeking a proactive, solutions-oriented partner who can anticipate needs, execute independently, and help create a more streamlined, organized, and well-functioning home environment.

- Manage the existing handyman relationship while continually evaluating and sourcing additional service providers as household needs evolve
Household Organization & Maintenance
- Create, implement, and maintain household organization systems that support the family's day-to-day operations and remain sustainable over time.

Examples include: Organizing closets and implementing seasonal rotation systems for clothing and household items Reconfiguring kitchen spaces to create efficient, intuitive workflows for meal preparation and daily use Sorting, categorizing, and organizing basement storage, including transitioning items from cardboard boxes into labeled storage containers Identifying opportunities for improved organization throughout the home and proactively recommending solutions Partnering with the family on larger organizational projects while independently managing and maintaining established systems Conducting regular reviews of household spaces to ensure organization systems remain functional, tidy, and aligned with the family's evolving needs
Pet Care Support
- Provide occasional backup pet care support when the family's regular cat sitter is unavailable
- Administer medication (provided in treat form) to one cat as needed
