Comfort around animals (dogs, cats, horses)

We're a warm, close-knit family living on an expansive farmhouse property, including a horse barn. We’re a household of three, but our large family lives close by and visits regularly. Life here is fluid and full—between managing work and family commitments, our days shift priorities constantly. We need someone who can help manage our home while we juggle everything else. We're looking for a true partner who can create and maintain household systems that actually work for us, stay flexible when plans change, and bring a proactive, easygoing energy to the team.

We're looking for someone who is organized, self-directed, and genuinely eager to help. The ideal candidate is observant and can walk into a space and see what needs attention without waiting for instruction. You're a natural temperature taker who can read the room, understand shifting priorities, and adjust accordingly. You have a "no task too big or too small" mentality, and understand that some days will be about sticking to the list, while others will require flexibility.

You thrive on creating and maintaining systems that actually work for the family who lives there, not picture-perfect solutions that don't reflect real life. You're great at cleaning, organizing, and inventory management—you notice when supplies are running low and restock before anyone has to ask. You love animals (and bonus points if you love horses). Most importantly, you're reliable, easygoing, and excited to be part of a busy, dynamic home.
