Our weekends often find us catching up on chores, so we’re seeking someone to help us stay ahead of household tasks throughout the week. With a little extra help, we hope to spend more quality time together - enjoying family time and making memories - rather than scrambling to get everything done.

You’ll be the heart of our household, managing meal prep, running errands, keeping things tidy, and staying on top of laundry so we can enjoy our time together without stress. We value flexibility because our family’s needs change from day to day, and we need someone who can roll with the flow, always with a positive attitude. While we love that you’ll engage with our kids and create a warm, fun atmosphere, we also trust you to know when to focus on tasks to keep everything running smoothly.
