About Our Family

Based on Bainbridge Island, we're a warm, close-knit, active family of four, complete with two children (a 7-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl), who fill our home with an abundance of love. Both parents are incredibly driven with high-demand careers—one works primarily from home, while the other works out of the home. With frequent work-related travel for both, sometimes for extended periods, and the children’s bustling extracurricular schedule, the rhythm of the home shifts depending on who is home and what’s going on.

We care deeply about a well-run, highly organized home and a healthy environment where our family can flourish. We love fresh, whole foods, traveling together, relaxing at home with a good family-friendly movie, and spaces that feel calm and reset. While we have some systems in place, with two children and a packed, ever-shifting schedule, keeping everything on track has become overwhelming and is impacting our quality time together.

Although we have regular house cleaners, we’re looking for a highly seasoned, proactive house manager who can fill in the gaps in between—starting with creating and maintaining meaningful systems in our home, organizing and folding laundry, supporting meal prep, resetting spaces, and proactively owning and managing the family calendar, so we can focus on what matters most to us: having the time to truly enjoy each other’s company and ensuring our home is a calm, relaxing space where we can recharge.

Who You Are & What We're Looking For

You are a highly detail-oriented, proactive house manager who has seen it all and quickly notices what needs attention—laundry that needs to be folded and organized, meal prep work that needs to be done, school- and sports-related events that need to be added to the family calendar, and spaces that need to be reset—and you handle it seamlessly, without being asked.

You are also emotionally intelligent and can easily read the room, using good judgment to know what needs to happen and when.

You understand the importance of communicating clearly, showing up on time, creating meaningful organizational systems that truly hold up, and taking quiet pride in a refreshed, organized household that runs smoothly. You are also professional, warm, and excited to work with school-age children (ages 7 and 10), and you understand how to work respectfully within a family household. Your energy is even-keeled and grounded.

You would describe yourself as calm, punctual, and self-directed, with excellent follow-through, whether you’re managing the family’s calendar, remotely supporting vendor coordination for their second property, researching summer camps, or meal prepping for the week.

Our ideal fit naturally anticipates needs (e.g., proactively adds flight confirmations to the family calendar), has calm, positive energy, takes professional boundaries seriously, and has strong time management skills.…
