We are a close-knit, busy family of four (soon to be five!) with grandparents just a short walk down the street. Our oldest heads to preschool each weekday morning, while our toddler stays home, and we are expecting a new baby in early fall. Our household runs on love and routine, but with a demanding medical schedule on one end and part-time remote work on the other, the day-to-day can move quickly and require a great deal of coordination behind the scenes.

While this role is centered around supporting our immediate household, it also includes helping us stay connected with nearby grandparents through occasional check‑ins and thoughtful assistance when needed. We are looking for someone who thrives on bringing calm, structure, and organization to a busy household so we can spend more time being present with our children and extended family. We hope to find someone who becomes a trusted, long‑term presence in our family's life.

The most important part of this role is the safety and well-being of our children. You have excellent judgment, remain calm under pressure, and understand that keeping children safe requires constant awareness, thoughtful decision-making, and proactive supervision. You genuinely enjoy spending time with young children and naturally engage them through conversation, imaginative play, outdoor activities, reading, and hands‑on experiences. You understand how to create structure while making children feel seen, supported, and loved.

You are just as comfortable coordinating vendors, managing calendars, running errands, and keeping the home maintained as you are helping the children navigate their day. You notice what needs to be done before someone has to ask and take pride in creating systems that help a busy household function smoothly. You are confident enough to take ownership when needed, and intuitive enough to know when to step back and support from behind the scenes.

Above all, you are dependable, emotionally steady, and someone we can trust completely.
