The household runs on a divide-and-conquer rhythm — one parent is deeply involved in school life and community activities, while the other keeps demanding professional hours outside the home. Days are full and fragmented, filled with school commitments, volunteer work, and evening activities that run late. There is a lot of love in this home, but the daily to-do list has become a weight. They are ready to hand that weight to someone else.The second family, neighbors just across the street, is navigating an incredibly difficult season with courage, grace, and remarkable positivity. Mom is currently undergoing treatment for a serious illness and has put enormous energy into maintaining normalcy for her three children, staying active, and controlling what she can. The family's priority right now is health, connection, and keeping life moving forward — not laundry piles. They need someone to step in with positivity and energy to handle the daily details so the family can focus on what matters most.Both households run back and forth between each other naturally — this isn't a formal arrangement, it's a community. The right person will feel that and lean into it.Each home has beloved dogs, and comfort around pets is a must. One family's dog has a shy personality but occasionally needs to be crated during visits. The other family has a young, energetic pup still in the puppy stage and a senior dog.Both families already have a wonderful long-term housekeeper who handles deep cleaning and will continue to do so. This role is about everything else — the daily flow, the anticipation, the organization, and the love.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou are warm, confident, and deeply capable. You walk into a home, read the room, and get to work — not because someone asked you to, but because you already saw what needed to happen. You don't need a task list handed to you each morning. You notice the drawer that hasn't been organized in months, the pantry that's running low, the laundry that needs to be hung to dry, and the backpack that needs to be packed for tomorrow. You take care of it.You bring genuine warmth and the ability to connect with families on a human level — not as a vendor, but as someone who cares. You are the kind of person who can hold space for a difficult season without making it heavier. You communicate with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude and bring steady, grounded energy into a home.You have real life experience behind you and the emotional intelligence to match. You're flexible, proactive without being presumptuous, and confident enough to reorganize a kitchen drawer without asking for permission.Most of all, you are someone who takes pride in making a meaningful impact for families they work with. If this sounds like you, we'd love for you to apply.Key ResponsibilitiesLaundry & LinensManage all laundry for both households: wash, fold, hang dry as needed, stain treat, and put awayMonitor and follow care instructions closely, particularly for athletic and delicate garmentsMaintain tidy, well-stocked laundry areasPut away linens after housekeeper washes and makes bedsHousehold Organization & MaintenanceCreate and maintain household organization systems across both homes — reorganizing where systems aren't working, no permission requiredDaily tidying: dishes, surfaces, loading and unloading dishwasher, vacuuming high-traffic areasDaily resets and preparing home for housekeeper visitsSeasonal clothing, decor, and bedding swapsCoordinate and prepare donation drop-offsChange batteries, light bulbs, and smoke detectors as neededMaintain tidy outdoor spaces including patios; sweep regularlyInventory & ErrandsRestock pantry, fridge, and household supplies for both homesManage running household supply lists and know when things are running lowHandle online orders as needed; open to establishing household subscriptionsReturns, dry cleaning drop-off and pickup, gift shopping as neededMail and package handling: put away where it belongs, break down boxesMonitor and maintain pet food supply for both householdsMeal SupportFamily One: Follow family's weekly meal plan (up to 4 dinners/week for a family of 4); handle grocery shopping and pickup, process and prep produce, organize kitchen when putting groceries away, chop vegetables and prep ingredients so meals can be executed quickly in the eveningFamily Two: Take kids' meals fully off the family's plate — up to 4 dinners per week for the children, pack school lunches, and ensure kid staples (fruit, bread, snacks) are always stocked; particularly critical during treatment weeks.
