About Our Family

We are a dynamic family of four living in Medina with our two children (ages 10 and 6). We own and operate a successful dance studio, which means that our afternoons, evenings, weekends, and travel schedules are busy and often filled with classes, rehearsals, competitions, and business responsibilities.

We've created a full and busy life that we love, but keeping our home organized, functional, and peaceful has become difficult to manage alongside everything else. We're feeling overwhelmed by clutter, unfinished projects, and systems that no longer work for the season of life we're in.

Our dream is a home that feels calm, organized, and cared for. We want to know where things belong, have healthy snacks ready for the week, stay ahead of laundry, and enjoy our days off without feeling like we should be tackling another household project. We love fresh flowers, seasonal decor, and thoughtful details that make a space feel welcoming and peaceful.

We're hoping to find someone who can become a trusted, dependable presence in our household-someone who enjoys creating order, takes ownership of their work, and finds satisfaction in making a meaningful difference in our family's everyday life.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are highly organized, proactive, and energized by creating order from chaos. Whether it's a closet, pantry, laundry room, or playroom, you genuinely enjoy creating systems that are functional, sustainable, and easy for others to maintain.

You have an eye for aesthetics and appreciate the connection between organization and well-being. You understand that a beautifully organized closet, a tidy mudroom, fresh flowers on the counter, or a thoughtfully prepared kitchen can significantly impact how a family feels in their home.

You are dependable, professional, and capable of working independently. You don't wait to be told what needs attention-you notice details, take initiative, and follow through. You're someone who shows up on time, keeps commitments, and takes ownership of your work without needing constant direction or oversight.

You have strong social awareness and know how to read the room. You're warm, friendly, and approachable, but you're equally comfortable working quietly behind the scenes. You communicate directly, welcome feedback, and bring thoughtful solutions rather than excuses.

Most importantly, you take pride in making life easier for others. You understand that this role is about more than organizing spaces: it's about helping a hardworking family feel more supported, more at ease, and able to enjoy their home again.
