About Our Family

We are an active, high-functioning household with three kids, a handful of pets, and two parents with demanding professional schedules. Life here moves fast- weekday afternoons/evening are the crunch point, and involve a steady rotation of pickups, practices, and dinner.

We have three kids who are all active and independent in their own ways- busy with school, sports and other extracurriculars all of which require a decent amount of transportation assistance. We also have an eclectic mix of pets we consider part of our family- two dogs, one cat, a crested gecko, and a box turtle!

We have a strong sense of what works well for our family and what we’re looking for in this role. Our home already has a good rhythm, with a weekly cleaner and pool service handling some of the regular upkeep, and we’re looking for someone who can help keep everything running smoothly between those touchpoints. We value someone who is proactive, organized, efficient, and naturally thinks a few steps ahead — whether that’s staying on top of the day-to-day needs of the home, helping with kid pickup and drop-off logistics, or providing meal prep support. Ultimately, we’re looking for a trusted partner who can learn our family’s rhythm, anticipate what’s needed, and help make everyday life feel a little more seamless.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

The right person for this role doesn't wait to be told what needs doing- they look around, notice what's coming, and handle it. You're the kind of person who checks the calendar on Sunday so Monday runs smoothly. You anticipate seasonal closet swaps before anyone asks, flag when the pantry is running low, and leave the kitchen cleaner than you found it.

You're efficient without being rushed, and laid-back without being disengaged. You bring calm energy into a busy household rather than adding noise. You understand you’ll be trusted with personal information, etc. about our family and you are respectful of privacy. You stay off your phone when you're on the clock in order to be present and mindful. Tech comes naturally to you, and you're comfortable enough with social media to support a small nonprofit's content calendar and scheduling.

You're in this for the long haul- not a stepping stone, but a role you can grow with and take pride in over time.
