About Our Family

We are a busy, dynamic household in West Fort Worth anchored by a hardworking mom who runs a fast-paced career from home and a spirited, self-sufficient preteen who keeps the week full of activity. Life here moves quickly: there are calls to jump on, school pickups to coordinate, practices to account for, and a household that deserves more attention than there are hours in the day. We are a warm, low-drama home that values independence, creativity, and efficiency. The household already has great bones: cleaners come regularly, lawn care is handled, and many supplies are automated, but what's needed is someone to manage everything in between and make the home feel consistently calm and organized.

Our ideal helper is someone who fits seamlessly into the rhythm of the house: working quietly and independently while we're on calls, taking initiative on what needs to be done, and communicating quickly via text when needed. We have some systems already in play that we would like for you to maintain, but there are plenty of areas that could use some reinvention and organization- that's where you come in with excellent execution of new systems and support.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are a highly organized, self-directed professional who takes real pride in running a household well. You ask questions instead of making assumptions, but you notice what needs doing without being told every time. You're comfortable working independently in a home where someone is hard at work; you don't need conversation to feel connected. You communicate efficiently and clearly, primarily over text, and you follow through without reminders. You're at ease around a preteen and can engage naturally with her when the situation calls for it. You're someone who effortlessly takes things off our plate so that the people in this home can spend their time on what matters most to them.
