Both parents have demanding jobs (as a company founder and a physician), which makes it difficult to maintain the balance we strive for at home. One partner works week-on-week-off shifts and the other travels roughly 10 times per year, so we need someone who can work in tandem with us when we’re home, but also step up and handle the household with ease. The ideal candidate will become an integral part of our family’s daily rhythm, helping to manage the household, support the kids, and keep things running smoothly. Of special note is that two of our kids have Type 1 diabetes, which requires careful management, including carb counting and insulin administration. You’ll score major bonus points if you have a medical background, but we’re also open to someone who is willing to be trained to help the boys manage the ins and outs of this daily. Who We're Looking For The ideal candidate is someone who is warm, proactive, and eager to engage with our children in a meaningful way. You’ll be an essential part of our household, often working directly alongside one parent to support both the children’s needs and the household tasks. Because the dynamic here is ever-evolving, being adaptable and responsive to change is key. We are looking for someone who is not only reliable and responsible but also comfortable managing the medical needs of children with Type 1 diabetes, including administering insulin (after training) and learning carb counting. You’ll be expected to step in and support homework time, especially with our oldest child, who needs patient, firm support.
