Mom and dad work from home and are very busy and focused during working hours, so we're looking for someone who can confidently take ownership of the household and children's needs during that time.We're a highly organized family and have built systems over the years that we're proud of. We'd love someone who is naturally inclined toward organization, appreciates structure, and can thoughtfully maintain the systems already in place while also identifying opportunities to improve or evolve them as our family's needs change.Our parenting style is fairly relaxed and flexible, but we value consistency and thoughtful structure. We're looking for someone experienced with young children who brings warmth and energy and genuinely enjoys engaging with them. We love encouraging creativity through arts and crafts, outdoor play, and activities that nurture the girls' natural curiosity. Age-appropriate educational activities are also important to us, including early literacy exercises, games, and activities that support developmental skills in a fun and engaging way.The girls are active and involved in swimming, gymnastics, and dance and love spending time at the park, on the swing set, and in the bounce house out back. As a family, we also love to travel, go out for meals, and enjoy life together.Ultimately, we're looking for someone who genuinely loves this kind of work and wants to become a trusted part of our family's rhythm. Trust, stability, reliability, and some flexibility are incredibly important to us, and we hope to find someone interested in building a strong, long-term relationship with our family.Who You AreWe're looking for someone who is warm, energetic, proactive, and genuinely enjoys working with young children. You naturally notice the little things that help a household run smoothly and feel comfortable stepping in, taking ownership, and keeping things moving with confidence.We're a highly organized family and would love someone who appreciates having systems in place, while still being flexible and easygoing when plans shift. With both of us working full time, it's important that you're comfortable operating independently, using good judgment, and prioritizing what needs attention throughout the day.With our girls, we're hoping to find someone playful, patient, and truly engaged. Toddler and preschool life can be wonderfully fun, a little unpredictable, and sometimes messy, so we value someone who can roll with those moments while bringing a positive, steady energy. We'd love someone who gets excited about art projects, reading activities, outdoor adventures, and finding creative ways to encourage their curiosity and development.Our current caregiver is moving, and she has been a deeply loved and trusted part of the girls' lives. We're very mindful that this will be a real transition for them, so empathy, patience, and emotional awareness are especially important to us. We'd love someone who understands that building trust with young children takes time and who can step into that transition with warmth, sensitivity, and consistency.Our family is vibrant, active, and fun, and finding the right personality fit is incredibly important to us. We value reliability, stability, flexibility, and a genuine desire to build a long-term relationship with our family. Ultimately, we're hoping to find someone who wants a sustainable role where trust can grow naturally and where you can become a valued part of our family's rhythm.Key ResponsibilitiesFamily Support & Child AssistanceAfternoon preschool pickup (family vehicle and car seats provided)After school supervision and childcare, including snack prep and active play engagementDrive children to scheduled activities (swim, gymnastics, dance) and playdatesSupport school-to-dinner transition; feed children dinner when the family is not eating togetherOccasional flexibility for bath and bedtime assistance, date nights, school holidays, and schedule changes as needed.Lead engaging activities such as art projects and early literacy exercisesPack and unpack lunchboxes daily; maintain and restock backpacks and school suppliesKid-related errands as needed (restocking school extras, change of clothes, supplies, etc.)Household Organization & MaintenanceMaintain existing household organizational systems; reorganize and refine over time as neededDaily resets of kitchen, playroom, and children's roomsLight tidying throughout the day: loading and unloading dishwasher, and keeping up with dishes, wiping surfaces and tables including children's seatingTidy and maintain outdoor spaces, including children's play areasSeasonal swaps of clothing and decorAssist with event and guest prep (children's birthdays, holidays, visitors)Support packing and unpacking for family travel, focused on children's itemsDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep-cleaning tasks as time allows (fridge, baseboards, oven)Refresh high-use areas such as mudroom and entryway as neededOrganizational projects for toys, household closets and cabinets, and children's closets and drawersInventory & ErrandsMaintain a running list of pantry, fridge, and household supplies that need restockingAdditional grocery errands as needed (i.e., Trader Joe's); family handles the primary weekly grocery orderReturns, dry cleaning, and gift-related errandsMail and package sorting; breaking down and disposing of boxesMeal SupportLight meal prep, including chopping vegetables, assembling or heating children's dinners, and batch-prepping kid-friendly items such as muffins and snacks (keeping the family's dietary preferences in mind)Prepare school lunches dailyKitchen cleanup and maintenance throughout the dayLaundry & LinensSupport in washing, drying, and folding children's laundry including occasional pool towelsMaintain organization of children's drawers and closetsMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaPet CareOccasional outdoor bathroom breaks for the family dogAdminister medications occasionally when family is awayMaintain pet suppliesVehicle UpkeepFuel the family vehicle when noticed to be low or when askedVendor & Property OversightBe present and available when contractors or service providers are on-siteResearch and coordinate repair quotes and vendor services as neededHow to ApplyPlease submit a short intro letter, an updated resume, and three professional references with contact information.
