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 ForYou 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.Key ResponsibilitiesHousehold Organization & MaintenanceMaintain and support existing household organization systems; take on new organizational projects as needed (art supplies, guest room, garage, and similar areas)Daily light resets between cleaner visits: dishes, counters, surfacesSeasonal clothing swaps, including coordinating donation drop-offs and resaleIndoor plant care and monitoringSmall household maintenance tasks: replacing batteries, light bulbs, smoke detector checksOccasional light event and holiday prep (seasonal décor, hosting support)Laundry & LinensFolding, hanging, and putting away clean laundry (washing is already managed)Ironing and steaming: weekly school uniform care and professional clothingKeep laundry area tidy and well-stockedMeal SupportLight meal prep: chopping, thawing, meal planning assistance to support home cookingGrocery shopping via home delivery or in-person with list (ideally transitioning away from delivery)Kitchen cleanup including hand-washing of knives, copper pans, and special mugsMonitor pantry and flag items that need restockingInventory & ErrandsIn-person errands: Amazon returns, dry cleaning drop-off and pickup, gift shoppingMail and package handling; to include unboxing and breaking down/disposing of packages and shipping materialsMonitor and manage household supply lists; assist with online orders and subscriptionsFamily SupportBackup school pickup as neededLight presence when our daughter is home; she is self-sufficient and handles her own responsibilitiesVendor & Property OversightCoordinate with house cleaners and landscapersSchedule and oversee seasonal HVAC service (twice yearly)Research, coordinate, and obtain quotes for household repairs as neededMonitor vegetable garden irrigation and watering when client is travelingPool maintenance support may be added in the futureDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep cleans such as fridge and ovenGarage organization: sorting, donations, box breakdownGuest room: clear out and organize, recycle, and/or donate clothing and items that are no longer neededSeasonal décor: setup and storageAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportCalendar management via shared Google Calendar, including ensuring all relevant co-parenting parties receive appropriate invites and updatesSchedule routine vehicle maintenance, inspections, and detailingTravel planning: research, bookings, and logistics coordinationReceipt and budget tracking for household and job-related expensesHow to ApplyPlease submit a short intro letter telling us a bit about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with contact information.
