We're a warm, social family of four with a full household. One parent works full time, while the other is closely involved in our children's lives and our local community. Between school and athletics, entertaining, and the construction of a second home in South Carolina, there's always plenty happening. We value a welcoming home and a family life that feels connected, comfortable, and well cared for.

We're looking for someone who can bring structure to the many moving pieces behind the scenes. We have support in place for cleaning and laundry; what we need is someone to take ownership of the systems, logistics, and details that keep everything on track. This person will become an important organizational hub for the family - anticipating needs, creating order, and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.

You're a self-starter who doesn't need to be told what to do twice, but you also know how to take direction and execute on someone else's vision. You're highly detail-oriented, proactive, and resourceful, with a natural instinct for noticing what needs to be done before being asked. You're warm and personable, comfortable in a household where conversation flows freely, and know how to build trust with a family.

You're comfortable around dogs, able to juggle multiple priorities, and bring a calm, capable, can-do energy when plans shift. Most importantly, you take pride in following through and genuinely enjoy creating order and making things run smoothly.

We're looking for someone who can take real ownership of the household - someone with experience building or maintaining systems who finds satisfaction in creating structure, anticipating needs, and keeping the details on track. You'll be responsible for helping turn the many moving pieces of family life into systems that are organized, sustainable, and easy to maintain. You'll also have the opportunity to help us build out our second home in South Carolina, developing the systems, routines, and infrastructure that will make it thoughtfully organized and easy to run from the ground up.

If you find that kind of blank-slate project genuinely interesting, it's an exciting additional dimension to the role.
