We are a warm, energetic, and dynamic family of five with three children (ages 7, 5, and
3) and a joyful, busy household. We also have beloved pets, two large dogs and a parakeet. Our older children attend school full‑time, and our youngest attends preschool part‑time. Both parents run businesses and work a mix of from‑home and outside‑the‑home schedules. We have reliable childcare support, but we are looking for a proactive teammate who can support home operations, bring calm structure to our days, and help us stay ahead — especially with laundry, organization, meal support, and routines.

We value kindness, efficiency, and great communication — and we love someone who brings joy, warmth, and a can‑do attitude into the home.

You are patient, organized, and efficient — someone who communicates clearly, follows through, and works independently. You have excellent attention to detail and a proactive mindset: you notice what needs to be done before being asked. You bring a calm, joyful energy to your work and approach family life with discretion, warmth, and professionalism.
