About Our Family:

We value our family time and want to ensure our home runs smoothly, allowing us to focus on spending quality time together rather than managing day-to-day tasks. We are looking for a reliable, organized, and proactive partner to help with household management, meal preparation, and other tasks to give us more time as a family.

We need a warm, self-motivated individual who can work independently and help build and maintain household systems. The right candidate will be able to handle tasks such as laundry management, grocery shopping, and meal preparation, as well as assist with after-school pickups and family-related errands. They should be organized and able to create and maintain household systems, especially as we prepare for our upcoming move to a new house. We value clear communication and a proactive attitude. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who aligns with our values and can support us in a flexible, collaborative way.

• Comfortable with a variety of tasks, including family support and light childcare
• Ability to adapt to the family's evolving needs, especially as the children grow

Key Responsibilities:

This role focuses on keeping the household running smoothly day to day, with a few core priorities that anchor the work. Other responsibilities support the overall flow of the home and are handled as time allows or on an as-needed basis. We care more about the right things getting done - not checking all the boxes.

Weekly Priorities:

• Reset and tidy rooms daily (e.g., load/unload dishwasher, wipe surfaces, vacuum high-traffic areas)
• Track and restock pantry, fridge, toiletries, and household supplies
• Prepare a nightly meal for the family (~5:00 PM)
• Clean kitchen post-prep and maintain kitchen tidiness
• Do one load of laundry daily (rotate through family clothing, towels, bedding)
