We are a laid-back family moving from WY to Buford, GA to be closer to extended family. We have strong values, integrity, and enjoy community connections. Our family consists of four children, two older teens who are mostly out of the house and two teens who are in high school. We also have a shy Pitbull mix dog. Dad works remotely, managing a growing business and traveling frequently.

Mom is ready to transition into a new phase after many years of dedicated homemaking. We seek a household manager who can help us stay organized, manage our new home, and relieve the stress of ongoing projects as we settle into our new life. Our goal is to find someone who can take initiative, manage a variety of tasks, and offer valuable guidance as we navigate the transition to Georgia.

Ideally we are working with someone who knows the area very well and can be a trusted resource for us to lean on.

We are looking for a proactive, experienced, and trustworthy individual who can manage both ongoing household responsibilities and specific tasks related to our upcoming move. You should be a self-starter with a high level of integrity and a good communicator who can navigate project management while offering guidance. A calm, laid-back personality is important, as is the ability to assess situations and take charge when needed.

You should have strong local insight and trusted community connections, bringing on the ground knowledge to our home project. Your experience will be key in helping us through this transition, and we appreciate someone who can offer solutions, manage vendors, and ensure our home is running smoothly.
