The household is a small, tight‑knit one located in San Antonio, TX. The homeowner has two cats that are an important part of the family. The homeowner works remotely most days and has occasional travel for work. With a busy schedule, the household is seeking a dependable partner to help manage day‑to‑day tasks. The ideal candidate will thrive in an environment where organization, flexibility, and independent problem‑solving are key.

The goal is to cultivate a home that feels intentional, calm, and well‑maintained, with someone who takes pride in keeping things in order and freeing up space for more meaningful time.

We are looking for someone who is proactive, organized, and comfortable taking the lead in managing day‑to‑day tasks with minimal oversight. You should be someone who enjoys "managing up" and can actively engage with the homeowner to ensure that expectations are aligned. You’ll be focused on getting on the same page upfront, with a clear understanding of how to prioritize and execute tasks, following the approach of "show one, do one."

Strong communication is key, as regular check‑ins will help keep everything on track. We want someone who’s invested in making the household run smoothly from the start and who is open to feedback as things evolve. Ideally, you have experience with meal planning and prep, household organization, and vendor coordination. You must be tech‑savvy and comfortable around cats. Above all, we need someone who is adaptable, reliable, and ready to step in and make an impact right away.
