About Our Family We are a busy family of five with three creative, bright children, ages 7, 11, and 15, whose varying school schedules and extracurriculars keep us on the go. Our youngest two attend the same school, while our teenager goes to a different high school in the opposite direction, meaning much of our day involves driving. Our home is filled with love, laughter, and the company of our mellow 3-year-old Golden Doodle, who’s easygoing and enjoys being part of the family without needing much attention. Both parents work in creative fields—one managing a family business and working as an artist from a home studio, while the other is a freelance writer. Balancing careers, kids’ activities, and family time can feel like a juggling act, and we’re looking for someone to bring order, calm, and consistency to our household. Your help with daily logistics, meal prep, and organization will allow us to enjoy more time with our children and keep everything running smoothly. Who You Are You are proactive, trustworthy, and a strong communicator who enjoys being part of a household and taking initiative. You’re organized, dependable, and comfortable with driving longer distances to pick up kids from different schools, as well as managing daily logistics, cooking, transportation, and home organization. You work collaboratively, ask questions when needed, and take ownership of tasks without needing constant direction. You’re comfortable in a family environment, enjoy creating order, and take pride in helping a busy household run smoothly.
