About Our Family

We are a busy, warm, and driven family anchored by a working entrepreneur and three kids, each at a distinct age and stage. Our home is full of energy, movement, and heart. Our week is shaped by school schedules, after‑school pickups, competitive youth sports with travel, doctor’s appointments, and a mom who is deeply committed to both her professional work and her personal and family’s wellbeing.

The days are a mix of back‑to‑back calls and creative problem‑solving, often interrupted by the very real logistics of raising three children.

We are a co‑parenting family, and the children divide their time between Mom’s home and their dad’s home, who lives locally. This role will support Mom and the household routines within her home, following a consistent A/B schedule that aligns with the children’s custody arrangement. While the routine is generally predictable, there may occasionally be minor schedule adjustments with advance notice due to Dad’s commitments.

We value someone who can embrace that rhythm with flexibility and confidence.

The energy in our home is social and warm, and we genuinely care about the people who are part of our world. At the same time, we need a household partner who can read the room, respect focused work time, and take initiative without needing constant direction.

We have a two‑year‑old Goldendoodle who is friendly, energetic, and about 70 pounds. He is a big part of the household, and comfort with large, exuberant dogs is a genuine must.

You thrive on variety and take pride in helping a household run smoothly. You're the kind of person who can step in, take ownership, and meaningfully lighten a family's mental load.
